Well, dammit, it's loaded with gluten. Blows me up like a puffer fish. (sighs)
I noticed this selection of beers at Whole Foods. I don't plan on buying any because me and gluten are BFF's and such. Figured anyone was in need of gluten free beer might be interested. It has a cute namebrand.
You're pretty awesome. Tanks for the info. Glutenburg. Hmph. I can't feel cool walking that stuff outta the store. It's like buying Diabetesland Bread.
Malta in 2005. I just happened to reviewing my pictures to edit them, and came across this one. I think it had a rating in the mid-seventies.

A West Yorkshire beer has been named the best in Britain.
Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker was crowned the best beer in the country at the Great British Beer Festival in London.
The Keighley brewed real ale was judged to be the finest ahead of a host of other finalists across seven different beer categories.
The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) competition involved bitters, ales, milds and more from small microbrewers and large regional brewers.
Timothy Taylor's head brewer Peter Eells said: "I'm speechless. We work very hard to produce great beers and we really believe this is the best beer we can brew - so to have it acknowledged in such an important competition is absolutely fantastic."
This year's silver medal went to Oakham Citra, from Peterborough, while the bronze award went to Salopian, Darwin's Origin from Shropshire
Got me a growler of Manny's Pal Ale Monday night. (Just the one)
Only available on draft. Pretty much only in Washington State. Worth a sip if you ever come out to visit.
Brewed in Olympia, eh?
Well, there are a few good things in Washington State.

@neologist,
I haven't heard anyone use the term growler for nigh on 40 years.
Quote:
To rush the growler (sometimes to roll the growler and other forms) was to take a container to the local bar to buy beer. The growler was the container, usually a tin can.
Brander Matthews wrote about it in Harper’s Magazine in July 1893: “In New York a can brought in filled with beer at a bar-room is called a growler, and the act of sending this can from the private house to the public-house and back is called working the growler”. The job of rushing the growler was often given to children.
