Welcome.<BR/>Squire Golden Ale is an inspired choice - chilled and fresh it is a cracker for the end of a long hot day, or a great companion to lunch of fresh-caught wild boar on the spit, and mellow enough to have as a night-cap.

Having said that, it was not a bad drop. At (AU)$2.49 and 'Buy two get one FREE' the price was OK too.<BR/><BR/>I had the Punk IPA and was left a bit flat. Literally! Is it supposed to be very lightly carbonated with no head, or have I found a dud? I noticed the best bfore date was 7/7/09! After I poured it!!

But then IPA is a style which has taken off in a thousand different directions! The Punk is very much an american-style IPA.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I&G will mind the barrel aging - most breweries are doing it now!!

If you ever get the chance try it from the brewery tap - it's a perfect cask pint IMO.<BR/><BR/>Thornbridge are an exciting new English brewery and they are doing some great things! <BR/><BR/>How did you find the BrewDog IPA? I love that beer - the Thornbridge Jaipur IPA is very similar. I recently did a food and beer tasting piece for BrewDog, it's on their vblog now - there's more coming too.<BR/><BR/>I'm tempted to change my list already, but I think it's a good practical choice!

Tim, I picked up a Brew Dog IPA last week - it's now cracking tonight with dinner. It's on;y going to get to 33 degrees here in Melbourne today. Is that ht enough for a Scottish IPA?<BR/><BR/>Mark, welcome to Beer Blokes. The freshest London Pride we can get has been to Belgium and then the States before landing here so I can't even begin to imagine what the real hand pumped thing tastes like. I'm going to look up the Thornbridge beers - Imperial Stout is taking off over here, but maybe not in this weather! Will have to 'Google' Cheryl Cole but, until then, I'll take your word for it.<BR/><BR/>Moses, interesting choices! Hmm, one's a bit flat, the other one a little bitter for me and not enough head from the last. The beers were all valid, though. Especially the no glass in the boat' rule.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Prof. PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-67534858222182563702009-02-04T08:26:00.000+11:002009-02-04T08:26:00.000+11:00Great question!
