Off Topic Beer and chips thread.

Popped into the Bell for coffee and see they have Jaipur on. My CAMRA vouchers will come in handy this evening!!! £2.25 a pint as opposed to £4.20 in the Reindeer.

Off to Norwich hospital in half an hour, but I always make time for a pit-stop in the Bell on the homeward run.
Normally a large Portobello Road G + T - but maybe a Jaipur tonight.....or one of each!
[Google predictive text didn't recognise Portobello & wanted to insert potbelly!!
How bloody insulting! ]

 

The Jaipur was excellent, as expected. Cheers for the heads up, JM

 

Just got my first (of 2 MAX!!!) in. It is DAMNED good!!

 

Muntjac madras, anybody?

I imagine the Devil would need an armchair after 3 or 4 of these
I'd need a sedan chair to get home!

 

No beer or chips in this one but donuts Homer Simpson would go Mmmmmm.... for

I've got friends in Salhouse, I'll get them checked out

 

But here's the best bit:
".....and love doughnuts and one evening the idea of having doughnuts delivered to your door came to me. We designed some doughnuts with different toppings and fillings, set up a Facebook page and it all just kind of exploded!"
Good luck to them, and not simply because it's a Norfolk based concern.
I'm off to spy on their facebook page!

 

Good grief - the Bell has nearly run out of Green Devil!!!! #whatsamantodo

 

Don't forget if you live in or near Norwich, next week sees the return of - https://winter.gbbf.org.uk/?gclid=C...eBsMJbh416m0ibwPB3-mCMyxuXzvdHkxoCLH0QAvD_BwE

 

Just on my way home after visiting the Beer Festival and I can't remember the last time I felt so p155ed #shouldsleepwelllater

 

Well, I won't be moving back to Scotland any time soon - a 2 litre bottle of White Lightning/Scrumpy Jack etc would cost me almost £8!!! #outrageous

So, Wetherspoons has a 'Beer Festival' on for with several beers I've never heard of. If you're going to the game V Reading, might be better to go to the Bell, as they probably won't be serving them wth the Queen of Iceni being so busy. I should be in the Bell from about 1.30 and it's a good 20 minutes walk to CR.
I tried Oakham's Attila at a mere 7.5% - methinks I might have to limit myself to a half pint!!!

 

Pretty appropriate in Norwich with a German coach and several German players?
I had one and a half Green Jack Gone Fishing earlier and feel like
the land of nod beckons already

 

I've only just spotted the connection!!!
Edit - The beer is available in ALL Spoony's pubs across the country.

 

Crikey - just popped in the Bell and all their Beer Festival beers on stillage are £1.49 a pint!!! #bargain

 

Nasty physiological effects from the Carolina Reaper for this poor chap. I have eaten a pack of them, but only had a nibble of one uncooked. I was expecting worse, but decided against going for the whole chilli in one. 10 years ago, minimal goading would've been needed, but at home with just the wife, no chance. Might give the new king "Pepper X" a swerve altogether though. If a Reaper can't do it for you, then there is something wrong with your wiring!

Bah!

 

Just under 2 weeks to go - http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/norwich-city-of-ale-2018-beer-festival-1-5515424!!

 

Looking forward to it, I'll be going for the 2 day half per pub marathon on the bank holiday weekend again, can't wait.

Bah!
