The Beer Nut: Devoid of grace
Velky Al 9:13 am
I had a bottle of the Ale Mary at Christmas and was deeply disappointed if memory serves me correctly. Possibly that was because I had just polished off Durham Brewery's wonderful Benedictus - a revelation of a barleywine!

Hmmm... very unusual to hear of phuca, same ingredients, and crap beer in the same post, but you have pulled it off without insulting phuca at all, kudos. that beer doesn't look great and the name would put me off buying it, although the name thing might have something to do with me not liking gimmicky faux religious names like "monty pythons holy (gr)ail" didn't like it at all.
So no Friar Weisse or Purgatory for you then?

Out of interest 'cos I've tried to get the beer club delivery how does Thom - living in Dublin - manage it when their website says they won't deliver outside the UK ?
He asked them. And they said OK, and gave him a discount.
I bet he didn't even have to use that fake English accent of his.

That it is, Philip.
Completely agree - I was really looking forward to my bottle of Ale Mary over xmas, only to find it horrfying, to be honest. Far too much cloviness (if that's a word).
