Essex Blonde tastes of wet dog!

The Paisley Beer Festival opened last night. A wee group of us had a good time sampling various ales, and in reasonable comfort since (as it was the first night) it was pretty quiet. First thing I did was head for the foreign beers bar to get some Klein Duimpje Honing Porter, a delicious beer which I think I missed out on last year as it had run

We shall be there tomorrow. Hopefully early enough to do some sampling before the hordes arrive.

Good luck with that. Hope you get a chance to sample Men of Norfolk.

I shall go straight for it on your recommendation!

We went on a visit to the Iceni brewery when we were on holiday in Norfolk about 5 years ago. The honeyed stout and the Deirdre of the Sorrows light ale were particularly memorable.

Neither of those were on offer at Paisley, unfortunately (honeyed stout sounds my thing). As well as the two I mentioned they had Elveden Forest Gold, Fine Soft Day and Fen Tiger.

There was leads of cider on Thursday, and I'm sure I didn't drink all of it. Honest guv!
