Some Things Are Just Wrong

There is a lot of media time currently given over to the Chilcot Iraq Inquiry. When they’ve finished chewing on that little nugget, I would suggest there’s an even more important matter for them to get to the bottom of. Namely, who in Asda authorised the sale of Sticky Toffee Cheddar Cheese. Yes, that’s right, Cheddar cheese with sticky toffee in it. It’s plainly wrong and nothing less than a grave breach of my human rights.

Heads should roll for this.

Kinda reminds me of my brother-in-law introducing me to dipping cheese into honey. I felt a bit dirty doing it, but kinda liked it with some cheeses :D

Did you taste the toffee cheddar?

I'm morbidly fascinated by this!

Eugh! An insult to cheese. I also dislike cheese with fruit in it.

Marmite however, that's nice in cheese, but that's because it's just the leftovers from beer making processed a bit.

Trip to Asda coming up. It sounds disgusting but I do want to try it.

It does have a morbid fascination, but tastes like you would imagine-ie nothing like chesse should taste like. But no doubt someone will like it...

Truly disgusting. Whoever thought this would be a good idea?

Sounds like someone's idea of a joke. The only possible sensible explination I could think of for this, is that it is intended for children?

I bought some of this after seeing this post.It's not that bad I thought, although strange textually at first.

The Kimberley Club

Image
The Kimberley Workingmen’s Club in Stacksteads, Rossendale is the stuff of legend. Few, outside of those interested in such things, have heard of it and fewer still have visited it. Even many locals aren’t aware of its location and yet internet forums are full of people willing to travel across the country to visit a genuine slice of social history. Established in 1897, the KMC started out as an afterhours drinking venue for quarry workers. Legend has it that it was carried down into the valley on poles. There are various theories about its South African connections-there is a Kimberley Street close by, but what we do know is that surprisingly little has changed since those early days.
Once you have got up the steep hill, over the dirt track and through the gate; you are confronted with two very small rooms. There’s probably just enough room to squeeze all 36 members in. This helps to explain why visitation is strictly by invitation only. We were privileged to enjoy a special Sunday ope…

British Guild Beer Writers Awards & Camden Brewery

Image
London is a strange town. Or so the Jam said way back in 1979. And indeed it is. However, despite the early closing, congestion and lack of decent pizza, there are actually people who work and live there. And everyone from the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers to the British Guild of Beer Writers hold their piss-ups there.

So it was once again that I found myself wandering the lonely, mean streets of the Big Smoky with nothing in my pockets but hope and fortitude. Now, one has to make careful preparation before attending a function such as the BGBW awards. And, being one for correct form, I did my bit by having a little tour of the capital’s watering holes.

Conveniently, the Euston Cider Tap had just opened the previous week and I was the first in on that day. The very helpful barman kept me company until I was joined by some chirpy cockney sparrows newly arrived from Manchester. After sampling sparkling, still and some Normandy cider, the bonding was complete and I…

Breakfast Beer Tasting: Suke Quto Coffee IPA

Image
This is an unusual beer from the Kernel Brewery that I first tried at the Port St Beer House, Manchester, some weeks ago. That was after a few scoops, so I was looking forward to trying it fresh.

The basics: Kernel are a small brewery based in Druid St, London. This is a 6.5% IPA and is bottle conditioned. It poured a cloudy burnt orange/gold colour with little carbonation and only a slight head. A little like my last sample to the doctor. Thankfully the aroma was much better with definite marmalade, fruit and just a hint of coffee.
Taste: Full bodied and rich. This is not an easy drinking session beer for the uninitiated. Starts with a classic IPA taste of oranges and powerful hops before the coffee kicks in which gives it a fair smack of bitterness.
Finish: You really get the coffee effect in this. A sharp, lingering bitterness that sticks to the back of the throat.
Conclusion: A good attempt at something different. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed the level of bitterness. One to give…
