It's apparently International Beer and Pizza Day. Dithering over going shopping for one but a) I'm mildly hungover and leaning towards 'can't be arsed' and b) with my financial situation I should be avoiding unnecessary spending. Decisions, decisions!

Beck to cask to finish on a pint of Siren Mum's the Word 5.5% cherry & chipotle porter. Excellent.

Easily the best beer of the evening so far.

Yeah the manager apologised but he wasn't there when the barmaid served me.

"You should have bought it back" I'm normally not backwards in coming forwards on that front but I was honestly 50/50!

Onto a half of keg Indie Rabble The Mob: Reloaded 6.8% WCIPA which I got free as an apology for the incorrectly murky pint of Manchester Bitter (which has since died) when I arrived. Very nice.

Just got a free half of a 6.8% keg WCIPA in apology. That'll do.

Okay. I can usually easily recognise finings but this was drinkable so I dunno!

The list is definitely swinging that way geographically - the 2 I mentioned plus 2 Siren on cask, 2 on keg and a Double Barrelled on cask.

Indeed. That's the sort of thing I tried to drill into my bar staff.

Moving to halves for a West Coast IPA 5.6% on cask brewed for CBC by Anspach & Hobday and Indie Rabble. Decent.

Second at the Clem is Double Barrelled Skyline 4%. Bit disappointing for them.

No. Wasn't sure if it's fined or not.

I'm up for a proper IPA but none of your NEIPA nonsense.
