From PubNight

Nick's Birthday 2009

Arrive around 7:30, but I expect to kick things off at 8 so don't come late or you'll miss some beer

Entertainment will be:

  • Beer identification
  • Musical links quiz
  • Sausage identification
  • ?Pool!

Please put your name and how much of what beer you are providing below. A description of it from a GBG or brewery website will make preparing the scoring sheets for the Beer Identification a lot easier.

Paul Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild (approx 12 pints) - "A dark ruby strong ale with a good balance of fruit and hops leading to a pleasant, lingering hops and malt finish" (GBG 2010)

Steve: Battledown Premium (approx 9 pints ) - "A medium bodied deep amber beer, with malt and fruit overtones and a balancing bitterness from the hops. ABV 4.6%"

Nick : Battledown Standard (approx 9 pints) - 'A light gold pale ale, fresh and lively with a clean dry taste. ABV 3.6%'

Richard: Saltaire Blackberry Cascade (4 pints) American style pale ale made with Cascade and Centennial hops with a light infusion of blackberries. ABV 5%

Richard: Summer Wine Holmfirth IPA (4 pints) A copper coloured IPA with a full-bodied malt profile tempered with rich fruity hops that gives an intense fruity hop kick to a dry finish. ABV 4.2%

Simon: Thornbridge McConnell's Vanilla Stout (4 pints) A creamy vanilla stout with raspberry flavours and a dark chocolate bitter finish. ABV 5%

Simon: South Hams Eddystone (4 pints) A golden beer with a fruity, citrus aroma, and hints of Maris Otter malt. A not so bitter beer that uses cascade hops to deliver its character. A slightly dry, sweet finish. ABV 4.8%

Michael: O’Hanlons Port Stout (4 pints) Dark chestnut-brown colour with ruby highlights. Mocha coffee, milk chocolate and a hint of roasted malt on the nose, with whispers of vanilla, and soot. Palate: mocha coffee, bitter chocolate, roasted malt and in the background the sweetness of the port, with a flash of hoppy pepperiness and a curranty fruitiness. Finish: dry, grainy, malty finish with a whisper of mocha and the return of the fruit. ABV 4.8%
