Born up north and now darn south. Spent the last 50 years watching City all over the world CTID.

Now 60 years watching City

Certified legacy fan, or old F**ker?

Block 101 - East Stand

Posts travel and City, always on the move and always watching City.
And as for this one!

Delicious, fresh and clean, a huge 8.4% and tastes like a regular beer.

Very easy to drink.

Nah, not for me, this is just an alcoholic strawberry drink. I find it difficult to call it beer.

As a refreshing fruit drink on a hot day, perfect.

There is nothing wrong with this one, a good old-fashioned English bitter.

Easy drinking and only 3.6%, a good session beer.

I give you, Pyoneer, from Wye Valley.

This is a very tasty hazy pale from Craven Brew of North Yorkshire.

This is an easy drinking old-fashioned English Ale. Served a little warm for me, but probably as it should be.

Citradellic Hazy Pale
Craven Brew Co.

Served at Great Ale, Bradford.

Well this was a surprise beer.

I am Fazz's Indian Kitchen & Bar in Bolton and was surprised to find: -

The Shed Head Pale Ale
Backyard Brewery
Falkenberg, Sweden.

Perfectly acceptable, light IPA to go with a tandoori mixed grill.

Almost certainly my last beer of this epic US tour.

A tasty Pale Ale from Sierra Nevada Brewing. Not too bad and a modest 5.6%

All whilst watching City in the last 16 of CWC

Last night in Vegas and finishing with an exceptional IPA.

This is a cracker, and as it is the last beer of the evening, quite fitting that it is a good one.

Zombie Duck Hunter from beer Zombies Brewing.

@7,2%

See you on the other side!!

This one is a lovely IPA, a bit smoother than the last one, and an easy drinker.

Gentleman and Ladies, I give you.

NAC NAC from HUDL Brewing, the name must mean something to someone?

A bit stronger at 7.2%, but you would never know and and easy drink.
June 30, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Onto a full bodied IPA, this
is a meaty IPA, lots of resinous flavours and hoppy. And, not unsurprisingly, feels like a boozy IPA

I give you: -

Hop Vegas from Crafthaus Brewery - a solid 7.0%

To those who know, in the LINQ area of Vegas

And trying a very amicable Atomic Duck IPA from Able Baker Brewing - 7%

Crisp and hoppy with a hint of bitterness, nice after a very hot day.

As beers go, this can be classed as the right beer in the right place.

40 deg weather and in the Sphere, tried this ice cold 805 Cervaza from Firestone Walker Brewing.

An easy drinking larger with a hint of lime, perfect and only 4.5%

Sphere was good as well.

Next up is another beer from Tenaya Creek - Gypsy Fade.

Calms to be a Pale Ale, but lots of bitter undertones and more like a good old fashioned Britiah ale.

It's still very drinkable and a reasonable 5.9%

Last one for today, heads gone, need some sleep.

Viva Las Vegas

After a 4 hour delay finally made it to a bar, lo and behold the nearest one to my hotel is another Yard House.

And to kick off the evening (23:30) is a very pleasant.

A stopover in Dallas, and the Vegas flight is delayed for a hour.

This one is Northeast Texas IPA from Hop & String Brewing.

A very easy drinking 6.9% bursting with flavour and could make a good session beer.

Another stonker of an IPA.

This time I am mostly drinking, “Ever Haze from Tripping Animals Brewing”. And it’s a belter!

A nod to the “Fast Show”

A classic juicy IPA, they don’t get much better than this.

The epitome and signature of a juicy IPA, looks like a pint of orange juice and is packed full of flavours.
