Summer blues


Had one of these while making dinner last Saturday evening. I don't normally go for Lager at this time of year, there's something about drinking ice cold beer when it's freezing outside that doesn't quite compute for me, anyway I shouldn't worry so much about convention as this one was delicious. Made by my local craft brewer, Siren, it's a typical Helles style lager but dry hopped with American hops (normally German lager styles aren't dry hopped) and so has a nice citrus vibe to it (think lager and lime) Also, served in my current favourite pint glass from London firm Anspach and Hobday, a gift from the last time my Son and I visited their taproom in Bermondsey back at the end of the Summer, let's hope we get one this year!
