Pre and post dinner beers


My Son and I tried a new Siren beer last night while preparing dinner for everyone (actually full disclosure, it was Chinese take-away, so I was just making some rice!) A classic West Coast IPA called "Okay I'll Bite" with more grapefruit, pithy citrus and lingering bitterness than you can shake a stick at! Delicious, but at 7% ABV we wanted something less powerful afterwards so we shared a 440ml can of Wild IPA from The Wild Beer Co. After food we all watched the Danish film "Another Round" about the ups and downs of middle aged men and their associated relationship with alcohol, a very good film indeed starring Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre in Casio Royale) but it made you feel a bit sheepish about booze and what it does to the unwary (no spoilers) so we both limited our consumption to the two cans!
