Happy Easter

As Martin Luther was said to have said "Sin Boldly".  It gives God something to do, forgive you, while she is waiting to do that Rapture thing.

Beers in the Fridge (UK Version):
Mr. and Ms. Eldest came for a visit and gave me these brews from the UK.
Brixton Brewery: APA (American Pale Ale) 5.4% ABV, 45 IBU
They say "Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurised, unfined (vegan-friendly) and full of flavour."
They are located deep in the heart of Brixton, have tours and open the brewery on Saturdays to buy beer. Tour Info
Craft Beer dot com describes an APA as "An American interpretation of a classic English style. Characterized by floral, fruity, citrus-like, piney, resinous, or sulfur-like American-variety hop character, producing medium to medium-high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. American-style pale ales have medium body and low to medium maltiness that may include low caramel malt character."

Freedom Organic Helles, traditional Bavarian Helles Lager, 4.8 %ABV
The brewery is located north of Birmingham in Abbots Bromly, Staffordshire and they have tours. Tour Info  They also have an annoying website that asks you if you are of age every time you go to a different page.

Gypsy Hill Nomad Milk Stout  5.5% ABV. Milk Stouts have unfermentable sugars(lactose) to add body and sweetness.  The Brewery is located near Gypsy Hill train station and Crystal Palace Park, south of London.

Beers in the Fridge:

After having Birra Italia, Peroni is no longer my favorite cheap Italian swill.
The Anchor Porter (5.6% ABV) is very good, I may actually like it more than the Samuel Smith Taddy Porter, possibly more complex flavor.

Brooklyn Brown Ale (5.6% ABV, 30 IBU) from Brooklyn Brewery was very good, but I think I still like Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale (5% ABV 31 IBU) better.
