I'm drinking @Vibrant_Forest "Farmhouse" 5% Belgian saison.
It tastes exactly the way a saison should - a crisp malt letting the yeast shine with all the peppery estery flavours you expect and a good dry finish.
A really, really very good beer.

While any racial animus directed at PC Umar is rightly to be condemned, any abuse of her fucking woeful trigger discipline is only right and proper.
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has responded to the unacceptable online abuse directed at a Met officer who received an award at yesterday's annual Police Federation Conference.
PC Fiona Shaik Umar was recognised for the outstanding contribution she has made for women in policing.
ALT I\u2019d like to congratulate Fiona on this well-deserved award for which she should rightly be very proud. She works in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, a frontline unit playing a vital role in the mission to protect our democracy by keeping Parliament and Parliamentarians safe.\u00A0 \u000B\u000BWe are currently advertising for additional talented, brave Londoners from all communities to join us. Every career path is open to you regardless of whether you happen to wear a kippa, turban or hijab like Fiona. She is being celebrated for being an excellent officer demonstrating this reality. \u000B\u000BBut it angers me that not for the first time, a day that should have been a celebration for Fiona was marred by hateful, intolerant abuse online. \u000B\u000BThese people haven\u2019t met Fiona. They know nothing of her important work. They just saw that she is a female Muslim officer who wears a hijab and decided she wasn\u2019t deserving as a result.\u00A0 \n
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The vast majority of criticism was not because she is Muslim, but because she was not following very basic gun safety rules.
Her finger was on the trigger and she pointed the barrel of the gun at a fellow officer.

This is @Vibrant_Forest "Dapple" 4% modern bitter.
Biscuity, slightly caramel malt backbone, bramling cross hops bringing a decent bitterness and a bit of spice, and an English yeast.
This is a proper bitter! Perfect for the growing autumnal weather.

This is @vocationbrewery "Toucan Tropic" 6.7% DDH IPA.
Hopped with mosaic, Simcoe and Galaxy it's fruity, just bitter enough and quite delicious.
#NotBeerBods
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to drink."
This is @bearwoodbrewing "Goldfinger" 6.5% NEIPA.
Packed with Superdelic and Nectaron this is herbal up front with loads of tangerine and then a powerful pithy bitterness to keep it clean.
Love it.
#NotBeerBods
I forgot it was Thursday yesterday! So I'm a day late with this @bearwoodbrewing "Summers in Nelson" 5.8% NZ IPA.
It's full of Eggers Nelson Sauvin and Eggers Special and tastes exactly as it should, and even better when it warms a little.
Lovely!
#NotBeerBods
"Reflex Mode" 6.7% mosaic and Citra IPA from @pollysbrewco
Chosen almost entirely on the basis of good brewery and fab can art it has great body, depth of flavour and a punchy hoppiness.
Lovely.
#NotBeerBods
Decided to postpone this @SirenCraftBrew "High Definition" California TIPA, as 10% on a school night felt a bit steep.
Well worth waiting for - punchy, resinous with a balancing sweetness, hoppy but not overdone.
Dangerously drinkable!

The Millwall Supporters' Club committee are aware of, and shares, the anger felt by fans over our tickets being made available at extortionate prices on UK resale sites.
In some cases, these tickets simply don’t exist but in others it appears that some who hold a season ticket or membership are simply profiting off the backs of genuine fans looking for a ticket to big games.
This is unacceptable and we are working with the club to identify those involved.

I visited @bletchleypark so I had to pick up the 'Station X' 3.6% amber ale by @HornesBrewery
It's fine. It's a perfectly competent beer, I'm sure Tommy Flowers should have been pleased to drink it, but it doesn't excite me.
6/10
#NotBeerBods
This is @PentrichBrewing "Flicker & Flame" 8% DIPA.
With barley, wheat and oats is soupily thick.
Citra, Vista, Motueka & Nelson Sauvin hops give a real funk up front with a tremendous fruity backnote but I think it could stand to be a touch less hoppy.
#NotBeerBods
"Sloth" is the right mood for this weather and this @radiocitybw x @abyssbrewing 4.8% US/NZ hazy pale is perfect for it.
Great balance of tropical flavours, citrus and piney resin. It conspires to somehow be both east coast and west coast at the same time.
Lovely
#NotBeerBods
Gone early tonight with @DurationBeer "Board Games" 3.4% Citra pale ale while I'm cooking.
It's a sessionable pale ale with Citra and a touch of honey. It tastes exactly how it should and is well put together.
Ideal for the weather.
#NotBeerBods
This is @GlassHouseBeers "Lilium" 5% pale.
Hopped with Citra and Dolcita (new to me) it has loads of soft stone fruit, a fabulous streak of coconut flavour running through it, and a grapefruit finish.
Just slightly unusual and absolutely delightful.
#NotBeerBods
Another experimental NZ hop - this time NZH-106 (a child of Riwaka) which this @GravityWellBeer "Deep Space Side Quest V4" 4.5% pilsner has together with NZ Cascade.
The result is a crisp pilsner with a funky herbal hit up front and then a clean bitter finish.
#NotBeerBods
I'm drinking @GravityWellBeer "Exceeding the Chandrasekhar Limit", an 8% double IPA with tons of Citra, Strata and Nectaron.
It's incredibly juicy with tons of tangerine peel and just enough bitterness to balance it.
Who knew astrophysics could taste so good?
#NotBeerBods
I was ready to hate this Otherworld 5.8% "Warped" peach and tea sour.
But it is lovely. Light, fruity, not too sour, strong floral notes, & a touch of vanilla sweetness on the finish.
I'd have preferred more carbonation but otherwise perfect for this weather.
#NotBeerBods
Gone early (Zulu time) tonight as I find myself in Athens, so I'm drinking local with @fixhellasbeer 5% lager.
I'm not the world's biggest fan of lager but it's a sultry night and well put together (as you'd expect with Fix's history) so it'll do me fine.
#NotBeerBods
I think she might listen to the podcast @GeoffNorcott
Drinking @GravityWellBeer again, this time "Superionic State", a 6.5% NEIPA with Citra, Mosaic and NZH-105 - another experimental hop from the Bract Brewing Programme.
Piney up front followed by tons of soft fruit but not too citrusy.
Magnificently drinkable.
