Beer Saturday!! Oh it comes round so fast!!

After last night's beer extravaganza I thought I might be too poorly for beer-festing it tonight. Fortunately my doughty Scottish genes kicked in and I am ready to go!! What do we have?

A fine Scottish beer, the Weize Guy red wheat beer.

This is a lovely one and no mistake. Cloudy and red and very reminiscent of some good Munich beers I have had. There is a fruitiness to it that really appeals. Cor, I am glad I found this one!! Next!!

Hopopotamus, this is a cracker. I found it hard not to pick it up when I saw the bottle. Check that design!!

That's right, a hippo with a beer barrel for a body. Sometimes when I am at my winter weight, that's how I feel!

It's an incredibly summery ale. Light gold in colour and citrus-y in taste. It makes me feel all outdoors'y!! Well you know what they say... When in Rome!!

Ah you can't beat a run about the garden with a beer in hand. Next time I will wear my trousers.

Next up is.

Those damned geese!! Will they never let me be!! It seems that my destiny is inexplicably intertwined with these varmints. Let us see if they let me down.

It's from Chicago. That must mean something.

Hmm, it's a good beer. Like an English bitter. It's definitely not what I was expecting from the name. Which was some kind of bird attack. It's really good. Gorgeous amber gold colour and with a mildly citrus finish. I will be going back to buy more of these!

And last but not least, yet another tribute to the splendid @razvanelulmarin...

Look at the beard on that one, Raz will be proud! It has a fascinating blurb on the can too.

20170603_192455.jpg

Ha, warden of the North with a knowing glint in his eye! I can't think of a better tagline.

Let's see how it pours. Oh, I know, pour it against the side of the glass. I am an old hand remember? But when you are doing a gif it has to be one handed!

Look at the control, still a fantastic head! Again a lovely beer. This one is light, smooth and fluffy and makes me want to swig it all down in a one'r. Flip flappity, more please!!

Not a bad one this week. I think it a close call for the winner. Damn, I can't call it. It's a tie between Honking Goose and the beard of the black sheep.

I was spoiled for choice with good beers this week, it's not always so easy!

In your honor..click my name :)

Lol, I did!! Did I miss something!!!

razva's always on the beer posts haha
how do you run and drink beer at the same time? is that a Scottish way of drinkin' beer too? hehe
you can't reply now you're honking like a goose - just kidding

I was honking like a goose in my beautiful sleep!! Dontcha know that running and drinking is the best way to do it!!!

Just look at that divine water!

That last GIF is hypnotizing me...

Cheers!

CHEERS!

I did like that last one. When I saw the selection I just had to GIF it!

I will upvote any post that has to do with beer. :)

Funnily enough, that is a mantra of mine too!!

A good mantra to have. :)

I am utterly with you on that one! We shall be the beer gang!!!! :OD

HERE HERE!! Word's of wisdom.

Fine words of wisdom! :0D

I heard Belgium has hundreds of beer. It seems UK does not lack the variety too.

UK is seriously starting to catch up on everywhere and it wasnt too far behind to start with. It's great!

You need to try Erdinger from Germany, Zywiec (or Zubr) from Poland and Xing from (Brasil/Barbedos...I'm always forgetting from which country it is)! Thanks for sharing tho I will try to find those guys next time in Total Wine or Beer World ;)

I have tried both Erdinger and Zywiec! Very good beers. I will keep an eye out for Xing!

Zywiec is ok but I meant ZUBR it's hard to get it but it's awesome! :)

Zubr it is!! I am sure Iwill be able to track it down. Cheers man! :OD

Thanks for reminding me to post more in my beer serials - awesome post again

Cheers dudester!! Looking forward to seeing more of your beer serial stuff!

Yeah - I might go back tot the roots which have been at least 2 beer posts per week and my sports History Serial which I have not handled since ages - too many interesting things to check

It never does any harm to get back to them roots!

saw a beer sandwich recipe on steemit earlier, and now this. it's raining beer on steemit!

A beer sandwich! I missed that one. I will have to go and look! It always rains beer at the weekend :O)

blame @allasyummyfood for the tempting beer sandwich, she's also inventing a vodka sandwich for me ! ah, what would we do in life without booze weekends :)

Ah, she always has had a way with the foods!! What would we do indeed!! Die of boredom ;O)

haha, yes who's crazy enough to not get wasted on weekends :D and looks like the steemit logo's on the gif beer mug :) ?

Oh if only, that would be a cool beer mug! Its a Baltika beer glass. Its a lovely wee thing :O)

ah cool, certainly looks like a fine creation :) cheers for another round, good day!

And a very good day to you dude!

Great post, certainly will crack one open too!

Yay, you cant beat a fellow cracker opener! Cheers mate!!

Cheers, have a good one mate, 100% got my follow #legend

I certainly am and will, cheers to you mate!

I used to live right next to the Goose Island Brewery, Honkers Ale is good, but I wish you could try some of their in house only beers...some of the best I have ever had! If you make it to Chicago, and can get to the brewery on a Thursday the brewmaster comes out and gives everyone a glass of the newest brew!

That sounds amazing!! I would love to visit Chicago. It's one of my places to visit!

Chicago is fantastic. Definitely come during the summer though, I wouldn't want your first impression of the city to be the terrible dreary winters we have...although good beers seem to have a way of cheering up even the coldest days!

Dreary winters would remind me of home! Summer it is. I definitely intend to at some point!

nice...your post deserve upvote and resteem...

Thank you very much!

u r welcome...
