Yep mythos and alfa prevail along with Fix in bottles which was my favourite. Also lots of Amstel and Heineken which from my limited Greek (*none) I think are brewed in Greece under supervision and taste like Mythos anyway. Schweppes tonic also tastes weird and local wine is luke **** but very cheap. That said amazing holiday and given the above factors relatively abstemious so liver has had a rest. May hit the Metaxas tonight mind

If you look hard enough decent ale can be found in greece although rarely in the supermarket and never in bars. Theres a small but interesting micro brewery scene, I had a belter of a belgium style golden ale last year.
I do enjoy the Metaxas though and strangely a pint of mythos does seem to hit the spot after a days rock climbing.

Looks amazing
 
Tried this tonight. It's had mixed reviews online and I know my buddies @Hoddy and @dan125 aren't keen but I don't mind it. Ok it's not the best tiny rebel or Polly beer I have had but for a beer that was canned 2 weeks ago and available in a 440ml can nationwide @ Tesco it isn't bad.

More of my accidental Helles. I have decided. This was brewed with a proper lager yeast, at proper lager temps (Mangrove Jack's Bavarian iirc) and it's no more lager like than when I use Crossmyloof Kolsch yeast, which is considerably cheaper. So that's a big thumbs up for CML Kolsch.
 
Shortly followed by this amazing beer. Truly stunning. A quad up A with 38g/l hops amazing balance of alcohol and flavour. Slowly sipping it

Local brewery on the other side of the state. Big hitters. 11.9% ABV and 11% ABV. The Underground Mountain is conditioned in barrels underground (thus the name) for a year. I believe it would do better with another year in the bottle. Not disappointed though. It has a big punch of Sumatra coffee, relatively bitter.
The Backwoods brew on the right is a more traditional barrel-aged stout that has some sweetness to it.
Having a couple while watching the Lions' preseason game--not bad so far. It's 9pm as of this post.
 
Cwtch beer. Tiny. 4.8%
German Weiss beer. Festival 5%
Russian imperial stout. 8.6%
Merlot. Brewworks
amarone Kenridge atmosphere.

How the hell they get them so soft is beyond me! Anyone got a water profile that matches these guys please shout up

You take that back! (Although I’ve always been more into the 1990s American skate punk than the 1977 originals).

I may have misrepresented what I really meant, which is that punk was the Ramones, the Pistols and the truly excellent Clash. The rest was rather iffy, at best. Maybe the third Damned Album was OK.
 
A golden ale recipe I created from scratch for a christening tomorrow, needs a few adjustments before I'm happy with it, it is more golden than it looks, just black kitchen surface making it look dark

Wild Bill IPA from Aldi - had it before, ****, had it today lovely and citrussy. Also some chinook thing in a can which was ok, though it's not given me some definitive chinook reference, which I why I got it. Some triple hopped lager that I drank on the drive home and it was ok. Avoid the 4 pack of the hopped lager there - it's so insipid you would not believe. And some grapefruit IPA in a can pitted against the Mangrove Jack's kit of that same thing. And some of the Brasserie lagers that are now almost completely tasteless now they're at 4%. I got in loads because there's a gathering tomorrow and they're not having any of my good sh*t. I've hidden all the homebrew.
 
SWMBO picked a couple of these up in ASDA along with a couple of others cans for £5 (£2:40 a can elsewhere) one was sour which i didn't like and one was raspberry flavoured which wasn't much better but this was good and i will be buying it again. (not at full price for a 330ml tin as i am a tight git) :laugh8:
