That looks a very cool place, but yeah as you say very big as well. Been a few years since we were in Delft but remember it fondly.

Yeah picked up from the brewery shop a few years ago, these ones are handmade so a bit expensive about €10

It took me 4, but of the playing partners in our group four out of five failed today 😔. So just to say two was an amazing score.

I guess that's having a great connection with your customers 👍🏽. When we lived in the UK we were frequently in our local record shop Truck, Cowley Rd Oxford. It got to the point that Carl would often say "Fin, check these guys out, I think you'll like them" he was very rarely wrong.

Yeah I instantly knew what beer you meant as well 🤣 despite the fact that you gave very little away. I don't do Facebook, Instagram and others but I've seen it all over webshops I use here in Germany and the Netherlands.

I've visited Scotland a lot over the years & of course Glasgow, however I never knew there was an area called Finnieston (btw my surname is Finnie 😀) grandad was Scottish from nr Kilmarnock & the surname originates from roughly that area 'I believe'? Really must visit the Ben Nevis in Finnieston.

Yeah I think it's a style that's ripe for a revival. If Elusive have one it's bound to be v.good.

Yeah I agree not seen it for ages. Was it Sorachi Ace that used to fit very well in a Black IPA? I seem to remember a brewer telling me they were a good match. However Black IPA seems to have gone the same way as Sorachi Ace.

I hope not to disappoint you, but I tried that just over ten years ago. Okay they may have rebrewed it but I suspect not.

However I do think that as the years go by the Citra version has really cemented itself into classic status. To be able to pick this up at a supermarket and for the price it is, it's a brilliant beer.

Yeah I know, it's lovely to be sat outside. However we really like the cold and don't want winter to end just yet.

No problem 👍🏽. I grew up supporting Forest and recognised almost every player on your recent photo, the guy to the right of Viv Anderson has me scratching my head though 🤔, still follow them but got into non league in my late teens and Worcester City.

Yeah I agree but it was convenient for the gig we were heading to a Feierwerk tonight.

This winter has definitely been colder than last year, apart from a couple of mild days in mid December there's been snow in the back garden since late November. Decembers oil delivery is taking a hammering 😱

Woah, 🥶 you'd think a city would be a bit warmer wouldn't you. Yeah looks like it's going to be a bit warmer here as well on Friday, but I guess it's lederhosen shorts here 😄.
