One for Sporting Bear

[matt172]

Had a pint of sly fox last night http://beertoday.co.uk/news030307a.ht

Very nice with a slight hint of ginger in the back ground, bit like drinking a shandy made with ginger ale

Have you tried it?

[The_Burg]

Will keep my eyes open for that.
Have you tried their Pitch Black? Very nice.

not tried that, but did have a pint of Aisling(sp) the Potbelly Brewery one at the pub in Rockingham, that was nice too

[Sporting Bear]

Sly Fox is Everards' new spring ale

Thanks Matt I'll look out for that as I've liked other beers made with ginger very much (can't remember the names at the moment)

Mrs Beer was on Pitch Black at Ashby Folville last night, it was an Everards pub but no Sly Fox

Monday night we had to go to Glenn's local as the brewery had run out of beer again

Aisling, Potbelly's first beer, ABV 4.0%, a smooth pale bitter with an excellent balance of hops and malt Easily quaffed!!

I've never had beer with a flavour like that in it before, I found it quite refreshing

There's also no Digfield, Hoggleys, Nobby's, Rockingham (excellent beers) or hush my mouth, Great Oakley

So six of the county's seven breweries missing - as a Northants Matt you should shy away from such sites

Also watch out for some beers made with ginger as they can be very refreshing but deceptively strong (like some ciders are) you may also like to try beers made with corriander

I had 9 pints of a cider once, it was strong(about 9%) It still had peoples shoes floating in it and everything. I lost 2 days of my life

Well I did mean real ale breweries obviously

Matt the site you've posted above is literally not to be trusted - how could anyone confuse Carlsburp Megakegery with a real ale brewery

You must learn not to believe everything on the intrawebnet

I can see you need more "learning" - wonder if there'd be enough PHers interested in a Potbelly brewery tour but then how do they get home ? the ladies threaten to rebel last time

Last tour was men only so the ladies have threaten to arrange another to include them - more beer power than girl power tho'

The thick syrup looking ciders at least look like they're going to be strong it's the clear sparkling ones that look like (but not taste like) champagne that you need to be wary of

Same applys to Perry (cider with pears)

Get Peter Green to borrow the works minibus and I'll play taxi driver.

I don't drink Larger, so would never confuse Carlsburg with real ale
Would be up for a brewery tour

bitterheads: froth matters

[Sporting Bear]

PiHeads - nothing matters

[Sporting Bear]

Didn't get a chance to talk to Glenn tonight about brewery tour but should see him most of next weekend

Perhaps we could combine PHers with local Bears to get about 20 visitors including some drinkers

[The_Burg]

Sly Fox now available at Braybrook, they've run out of Pitch Black though
Not sure about ginger beer, certainly very light and quite refreshing though.
