![]() ![]() See post #198; this has a lovely deep bitterness which I evidently didn't notice last time... although this has a different label and is maybe not even from the same (UK) brewer

I wonder when they moved Portland, Me. to the UK?
![]() ![]() I remember when Shipyard first launched. They had a deal with the Portland Seadogs to sell suds at the ball park. I thought it was OK but nothing to write home about. |

^ Yeah I really think they should call it "American Style". I found some 'Scottish' shortbread on sale in Annapolis once... it was made in Japan

![]() ![]() We're always being sold stuff that's flavoured with honey yet turns out to be just plain sweet... well this really tastes of honey and it's beautiful: a lovely soft, golden ale which fizzes on the palate and refreshes

![]() ![]() This is delicious! One of those ales where you almost believe that some kind soul added a large shot of rum to it before putting the top on. Caramel and honey are the predominant flavours and it's a darker beer than you might expect from the name. I've put in a request for more with the purser (Moira)

I'll trump that with the couple of one litre bottles of ASDA dark rum I purchased less than two hours ago

Back on page 23, kg6eyr mentioned a beer by Ballast Point. That reminded me that I had tried a beer by them once. "Sculpin". Typical IPA. Very hoppy. A little too much grapefruit for my taste, but overall a good beer. I like IPAs, but the bottle this was in caught my eye. Can you guess why?
![]() ![]() Tonight, it's my old standby (in its own special glass), as mentioned by cdrsubron7 on page 10: ![]()

![]() ![]() Not pale at all really but quite dark-looking, with a soft honeyed flavour which fizzes gently on the tongue. A beautiful and special supping ale

Burning Sky Imperial Stout 2021
This one was disappointing. Overwhelming wine cork taste to the point of being a tame lambic. Malt is only nice if one can taste it. One I won't be buying again. |

![]() Every time I see that label it takes me back to a seedy bar in New London, CT. where we would hang out after a long day in tech school (AKA A school and C school). ![]() It was called The Blue Moon and was staffed by a top heavy bar maid who would earn tips every time she wiped down the bar with a wet rag. ![]() One fine evening, we were sitting at the bar and nursing some beers when this grizzly old coot storms out of the men's room with a handful of pipes and water traps, cursing like a sailor. He throws the pipes at a wall and looks like he's ready for a fight. I turn to the bar maid and say, "Hey, you want us to talk to that guy? Maybe escort him out side?" "Nah but thanks. That's my boyfriend- he owns the place." Over time, we all got to be chums. Turned out the owner used to be a member of the local biker gang until he was "asked to retire". ![]() |

Years ago, we had an exchange student from Germany join us for a year at my High School in the U.S. We all did our best to make him and other exchange students feel welcome and at home.
We were all at a party and of course had American and Canadian beer. I asked our German exchange student if they get American beer in Germany. He replied yes but American beer is so weak, they use the American beer to wash their cars. ![]() He also liked his beer warm which is not something any of us liked. |

I'll pass on the warm beer, my friend. ![]() A good night at the pub would be ice cold beer, great pizza's, comfy chairs and a great Hockey game on the big screen with which to enjoy all of the above. ![]() |
