glaconman Wrote:Did I see mention of Old Pec on your thread? The Theakston / Black Sheep breweries are up the road an hour from me. Brings back some interesting memories. I don't drink it any more; like Andy I'm a session man. But it should be part of every man's drinking education.
Do you get Taylors down under?
Yes as much as I liked the Theakston OP, I doubt I could drink it all night (whoa MLCM - what are you saying???!) Excellent beer, but.
Taylor's Landlord
is available down here in Oz, but I haven't seen it in my part of the country. I'll certainly tuck that one away for future reference though.
Amberro I don't know at all, but a quick Google suggests, as you say, that it is being made by Fosters. No plans to sell it outside of India though it seems. Do let us know what you think of it, GMan!
***STOP PRESS***
An amazing thing just happened. Due to a minor car crash yesterday which has put my car off the road, I was walking this afternoon through a rarely perambulated part of the city when, in my never-ending-quest for interesting and diverse beers, I visited a bottle shop (Aussie for "liquor store" or whatever you call them in your part of the globe) I had never been in before. It didn't look very promising BUT, in literally the farthest most corner of the store was a small quantity of the rarely-seen Kingfisher beer, and at a heavily discounted price! Did I buy some? Did I ever!
Is there a running-beer-God or what?!?!
A pretty damn fine beer too. Lovely with pistachios. Mmmm.
