Off Topic Beer and chips thread.

I used to walk along the beach or the coast path, have a couple of beers in the FB and then walk back alongside the railway line and via Morrison's. About 3.3 miles, but too much for me this summer since my spell in hospital, sadly. I love their rambling beer garden.

 

It's pretty unique.
Just walked back to Cromer along the beach and it was pretty tough going at times.

 

JM Fan, have you tried Maltsmiths lager or IPA? Do you recommend it?

 

Not heard/seen either.

 

They are part of Scottish and Newcastle group both with 4.6 abv

 

I've had the MS lager, it's definitely tastier than your average lager.

Bah!

 

This is amazing.

 

Ooo not had that one, where'd you get it?

Bah!

 

It's Latvian, they sell it in some East European type shops .
Very very tasty.

 

Enjoying Guinness in Dublin, life seldom gets better than this!

 

Is it true that a bottle of Guinness brewed in Dublin has "open other end" stamped on the bottom?

 

Now Mrs G has insisted I get in the gym to work it off. Seems no other method of exercise is available tonight!

 

Just enjoying a pint of Cairngorm Wild Cat - very pleasant.

 

What? No mention of the Chip Inn?

Phew - NO mention of the Grosvenor either!!!

 

Now in the Joseph Conrad in Lowestoft with some decent real ales on tap and beer is £2.25 a pint!!! #bargain

 

Went with my son to the Plasterers' Arms last night and discovered that they do an offer of 2 pizzas and a bowl of chips for £18!! #bargain
Incredible choice of real ales/craft beers as well.

 

Did you have the Waldorf pizza?

 

No - halloumi and Vietnamese chips!!

 

I'm off to Yorkshire for a few days next week, so I've just booked a room in the centre of Peterborough on the way back.
It's ¾ of a mile from the Oakham Brewery Tap with umpteen Oakham ales to choose from and a reasonably priced Thai restaurant. #result #whatsnottolike
