It's been over 12 years since I last had this, but last night I got to sit in my living room in the UK going through a 6-pack of Alaskan Amber!

This seemed like a bad idea, and it was.
Mexican restaurant had a black and tan on the menu, that consisted of Guinness, and Modelo.
Guiness and lime don't mix lol.
Oh well went down smooth after a 70 mile bike ride.

On holiday at the Mosel river in Germany and while I love a good local riesling, a good Rothaus from the Black Forest is always great 👍
Forgot I had this in the fridge. Texels Jutters bock. An autumn bock beer that might not be that suited for this time of the year, but it still tastes great. And you'll notice the 25% clearance sticker denoting that I bought it way after autumn
Brings me right back to touring the brewery and tasting their island-exclusive brews!
Looks (and I would imagine that it tastes) delicious.View attachment 2374237

What exactly is "an autumn bock beer"?
I hadn't realised it but it's pretty much unknown outside of my part of the world
It's a caramely dark beer, malty and a bit bitter. Great for cold dark days. We also have spring bock beer which is a much lighter coloured beer.
Also the name of this one "Jutters bock" refers to the traditional beach combers of the island of Texel, who would often search for washed up treasure during the cold very windy days and who'd like to have a "warming up" drink afterwards. (which is more often the very strong Juttertje liquor, which this beer also has notes of)
Sounds like something I would enjoyI hadn't realised it but it's pretty much unknown outside of my part of the world

Sounds absolutely delicious, and this also strikes me as the sort of beer that I would absolutely love, as I love the German equivalent.
I have heard of 'bock' (and even 'double bock' - the superb Korbinian beer from Weihenstephaner is classed as, or, described as, a 'double bock', actuallly, as a 'dopplebock') beers, which hail from Germany and the German brewing tradition; and they tend to be quite strong, dark, and caramelly style beers (which I love), but, until I read your post, I had never heard of seasonal bocks.

"Hoofd in de wolken" (head in the clouds) on of Lidl's many types of craft IPAs. I must admit that I've never had a New England style IPA but this one is a nice fruity, sour and bitter one.
Lidl has some great beers that are crafted for them, I especially enjoy their Crius strong blonde and Patronus weizen.
I also bought "Zwenkende Zweefmolen IPA"
Peach Habanero Storm, West Coast Style IPA. Man this one is so good; enjoyed it at the brewery over the weekend and brought a couple 4-packs. Happy I did

Enjoying a Madri at the Green Man pub in Putney. Excellent light lager, perfect for the relatively warm temperatures in London this weekend

And a Peroni at the Pitcher & Piano by Richmond Bridge. Another light lager perfect after walking from Putney to Richmond by way of Richmond Park. A very nice day out in London.
