A couple of brown ales, both on tap: Kelso Nut Brown Lager and Pretty Things St Botolph's Town. The first had some crispness to cut the malt. The second, apart from having too silly a name, was a little heavy and cloying for me. Worth trying though.
what beers are you drinking?

Last night in Jimmy's No. 43 I had a taste of a 'smoked' beer pressed on me. Smelled very much like bacon, tasted like it was infused with Liquid Smoke. Blech. The fellow drinking it on the other hand loved the bacon aroma and ordered another one I believe.

It was extreme all right. Extremely repulsive.

you must similarly resist beer aged in bourbon casks.

A couple of British cask ales, served room temperature and flat: Weetworth Best Bitter (a very local brewer) and Flowers. I like the fact that these aren't all that strong, so I could have a half-pint at lunch and then go back to work.

And if you can find "mild" it's generally even less alcoholic.

Last night's beer was Timothy Taylor Landlord, out of West Yorkshire. I'm really enjoying these local brews.

so many interesting microbrews coming to market: the whole Exit series from Flying Fish; then Dogfish/Victory/Stone collaboration project - Saison du BUFF - solid stuff... also Weyerbacher Verboten - belgian pale ale with american hops - so barnyardy, bitter and dry - simply perfect...

my current favorite - Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin': american wheat pale ale - in a first sip looks like a hoppy IPA, though not bitter with an interesting sweetness and full of pineapple aroma...

Found an interesting-looking Belgian-style wheat beer called Shock Top....didn't realize until I got it home that it's made by Michelob. It wasn't awful, but it tasted about what you'd expect from an Anheuser-Busch beer.
