Thread: Beer of the Day !

........................................

Last night I had the pleasure of trying a cask conditioned stout from Crannóg Ales called Back Hand of God; typically I love stout but I'm happy to normally just have one. If I hadn't had work today I would have stayed and drank all night, it was true nectar. If you ever get the chance try it.

One of the local watering holes has it on tap... good beer (killed a few and their IPA as well) if they knew what a pint was and the glass they passed off as a pint wasn't damn near $7 I'd be there right now. Instead I'm enjoying a cutthroat pale ale.

I don't think these will ever get old, love em !!!

If you were in the Vancouver area can you tell me where you were when you found it?

I'm looking forward to heading back across the pond and holding a UK pint.

Yuengling Porter. A bit darker and more Guinessesque than my beloved Yuengling Black and Tan. Quite good, no doubt would go great with a grilled steak, baked potato and a salad.

Not in Van... 8hrs north in Prince George. A pint would be great, the closest (18 oz) we get is at Earls and tomorrow night I will be enjoying a couple of them. At 3.99 a pop I can ignore the lack of atmosphere and appreciate the talents of the serving staff...

ah yeungling porter, when i drank, that was my beer of preference, if i couldnt get that i would get either black and tan, or chesterfield lager, it was one of the few things i could get here in my area that reminded me of my years in pa
