Saturday 19th December - Burton Beer Circle Christmas Meal

Winter's arrived and so it has to be strong beers on offer at the Coopers.

Started with P2 - that excellent stout from (well White Shield these days) followed by Red Shield - i wanted to try the Thomas Sykes 10% offering but "Its been knocked and needs to settle." Someone did acquire a sample and (excuse my French here) "Kin heck" its like whisky.

Thence Merrie from Thornbirdge "a fantastic deep brown ale was flavoured with Liberty, Chinook and Santiam hops and a generous dosing of some Derbyshire Hidcote Lavender."

On to the Manzil for the meal (and some Cobra) and its rained and froze outside whilst we were inside - interesting trip back to the station.
