Attended the Royal Oak Staple Hill for our customary and traditional curry night in the company of Jim, Geoff and Alannis. I started off with Cottage Brewery Golden Arrow 4.5%. However, it was cloudy and did not taste very good. I took it back and got a pint of Sharpes Doom Bar 4%. Much better and it went down well. Duncan, Mary and John then turned up quickly followed by Pete. Food orders were given at the bar. I opted for a Thai Noodles and chicken and very nice it was. I think that I am gradually going away from Weatherspoons curry's. Other menu items are just as tasty if not tastier. No rants about the service this time. But we did have a few rants as the evening progressed and then strangely the rants turned more mellow and finally petered out.
My next pint was a Bath Ales Gem 4.1%. This was followed by another Doom Bar. Geoff and Jim turned to the wine but I being by this time extremely wise (and some say good looking) declined the wine offer. Preferring to stick with the beer.
An account of successes and failures in attempts to reproduce some of the finest ales found in the UK and tastings of some of the many real ales and beers available commercially.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE ALL OF THE ALES ON OFFER BUT YOU CAN'T DENY THAT REAL ALE IS TASTY.
DEMAND A FULL PINT. WRITE/EMAIL YOUR MP FOR LINED GLASSES TO BE MANDATED.
JOIN CAMRA. DRINK MORE BEER. DON'T SPILL BEER.
