Quite a lot of this... https://www.vocationbrewery.com/product ... sour-440ml

Bidding on 4 boxes of it on an auction site, thought I'd been out bidded so added another... Turns out it was a different listing, so I now own 108 cans! Anyone riding through S10 who likes sour beer is welcome to a cold one!

Well, exactly... Kind of thought I was bidding for 4 boxes of 4 cans, so put a tenner plus VAT and fees as a bid... Turned out one lot was 4 boxes of 12 and the other was 60 cans! Seeing as the whole lost cost me £30 all in I'm pretty happy!

Bivvy fuel for the solstice sunrise. Got a rather nice picnic to go with: salt and vinegar almonds, French cheese of some description, kabanossi, and some olives.

Old Peculier

Live BAM in progress.

Literally had just opened the bottle and taken a sip, when the ground and air started shaking, and a couple of Chinooks flew right over the top of me, about the height of two houses :o

:grin: That immediately conjured up an image of a bunch French fops (this was pre revolution mind) being seen off by a Welsh person prodding them in their derrieres with a pitchfork; with them eventually them all crying and running off!

Abbeydale Salvation cappuccino stout, served with kabanossi, Manchego, and a lovely view across the valley. I think it's Bakewell's lights I can see twinkling on the horizon.

I spent the evening in the Põhjala brewery tap.
Öö X was an excellent way to finish things off.

I even got paid for my (non existent) effort, so on the way home I thought I'd treat myself to a nice bottle of red wine. In the end, the choice of what to get was really quite easy :grin:

BBBBB - Bear Bones Bikepacking Beer Bivvy, lovely. Got one of those cans in the cupboard, I might go and..... Oh. Mrs P says I have to wait until Friday evening. Er, I'd better do that then.

Pleasant dreams!

Vocation Crush Hour, refreshing from the fridge after a 'day off' pedal around Coniston/Langdale, while I make pizza for the girls tea. I've some Salt Huck a Back and some Northern Monk Heathen Club too. Tasting better for a week of no beer.

I used to live near Axe Edge and must report to having visited much bleaker venues.

Very pleasant in the summer though yes I grant you - especially if you're sat in the Flash Bar Cafe having a nice second breakfast :-bd

Yes, admittedly, descending from the Cat and Fiddle (I worked in Macc) into the frost hollow occupied by Buxton, was occasionally bone chilling.
