If you're getting Trillium, I'd recommend the DDH Fort Point. I'm just off to the brewery now to pick up beer for tonight's Patriots game.PopIcon said:
Mikkeller and Gueuzerie are bring some exciting sours. Also looking forward to trying some beers from Other Half Brewing, Lost Abbey, De Molen, 3 Floyds and Brewski. Too many particular beers to single out, but I recommend Alesmiths - Speedway Stout (Vietnamese Coffee), Cloudwater - Double Dry Hopped Nelson Sauvin/Galaxy, Trillium - Dialed In, and Buxton/Omnipollo - Maple IceCream Waffle.SotonAddick said:
Agreed. We waited roughly 45 minutes for Craft Beer Rising back in Feb so hopefully this means the queue moves reasonably quickly. Not sure what to go for first, there's just so much to choose from. I know I'm going to miss out on something special but it'll be impossible to get round as many beers as I'd like.PopIcon said:
I'm going Saturday too. I was reading on their website that they are opening the doors at 1100, but not actually pouring until 1300. Good idea I think. I had to queue up for 30 mins to get in to Craft Beer London.SotonAddick said:
Yep, I'm there Saturday. Can't wait, the list of beers is ridiculous!PopIcon said:Is anyone going to the Beavertown beer festival this weekend?
They have a lot of very good stuff on, very few of what I would call fillers.
Anything that you particularly fancy?1 -
They are going that on keg, so I'll give it a go.SomervilleAddick said:

I'm back in the UK for a few days at the end of the month. Here for two Saturdays" home game v Bury on the first week, St Albans Beer Festival on the second. Looking forward to both.0

Oktoberfest in Chelmsford last night. Not the best German beer ever (ABK?) But an absolute party. Best night out I've had in ages0

Starts tomorrow evening, goes through to Saturday.Briston_Addick said:Norwich Beer Festival Week 2017 kicks off two weeks today - can't wait.
Over 220 different draught ales ranging from golden beers through to porters and stouts, plus a cider and perry bar and a foreign beer section in the marquee.
Had a look through the beer list and made up my mild/porter/old wishlist for the week - hopefully some of them will be available when I'm there tomorrow night and Wednesday or Thursday lunchtime.

^oscar Wilde is a fine pint2

Oktoberfest in Colchester was good fun. Proper Essex.1 -
@McBobbin I forgot to thank you for the tip about the Oscar Wilde!McBobbin said:^oscar Wilde is a fine pint
It was a very nice beer and definitely in my top 5 for the week:
1. Norfolk Brewhouse, Moongazer Dark (dark mild)
2. Mauldons, Blackberry Porter
3. Mighty Oak, Oscar Wilde (dark mild)
4. Buffys, Mucky Duck (porter)
5. Beeston, Squirrels Nuts (dark mild)1 -
Ooh that blackberry porter is nice as well! Seems you have similar taste to me, I love a nice porter/mild. Harder to come by with the latest craze for ultra hoppy craft beers.2

Always one (Stout, Porter or Mild) on at my place. Currently Hop Fuzz's (Hythe) Blacksmith Stout.McBobbin said:Ooh that blackberry porter is nice as well! Seems you have similar taste to me, I love a nice porter/mild. Harder to come by with the latest craze for ultra hoppy craft beers.

Glad to hear it Riv. There are far too many pubs wasting valuable bar space serving up a less than balanced selection these days.2

We have six real ales on, gravity dispensed. A session bitter 3.6 permanently on , an ever changing session pale <4.0% , an ever changing Best Bitter 4.0- 4.6%, an ever changing golden ale 4.0-4.6%, an ever changing strong ale (IPA, Premium Bitter, Strong Pale) 5.0%+ and an ever changing dark beer (Stout, Porter or Mild).3

Mild as a description seems to have gone out of fashion. However people are brewing and selling mild albeit often under other names.
Plenty of good porters and stouts in the better establishments0 -
Orkney Dark Island has to be my all time fave beer, dark or otherwise1
-
Still plenty of milds around from Kent breweries.SheffieldRed said:Mild as a description seems to have gone out of fashion. However people are brewing and selling mild albeit often under other names.

The Dog and Bell in Deptford is well worth a visit. We always try and get there for two or three pre-match pub lunches every season. Good beer and food, all very reasonably priced. They've got a Scottish Beer Festival next weekend (1 to 3 December), with over 20 beers - https://twitter.com/thedogandbell?lang=en1

Indeed it is. One of my favorite bars in Portland. I was in there last night. Did you get to visit any of the brewery tasting rooms?WoodsideValley said:
