To die for..


Spent a pleasant day in Bristol last Friday and met up with some friends for lunch, fortunately for us the Sun made an appearance and although it was raining at home the outlook as we travelled further West was fine. After lunch we had a walk around the old town and dropped into the Small Bar on King St. It's one of my favourite craft beer places and the menu didn't disappoint! Of particular note (and as rare as hen's teeth) was the beer called "Puttty"(three t's) made as an adjunct to their better known "Putty" (two t's) it was a triple IPA version of the same beer from Cornish producers Verdant. Essentially more hops, stronger (10%) and all round more in your face than the original (which I tried back in January) it was magnificent and a real result to find it on keg! They also had London Black on and the best lager in the country at the moment (Keller Pils) from Lost and Grounded (a Bristol based brewer) - a beer board to die for!
