A fine ale…
Cairngorm Howler, now there’s a beer! Dulcie took me out for beer & curry tonight so we popped into The Acorn in Lichfield (A JDW pub) where they’re in the middle of their international ale festival.
In addition to Howler we also enjoyed the Titanic Velvet Curtain (a very nice chocolaty stout), Flying Dutchman (a very nice coriander, orange zest and liquorice flavoured beer), Rooster’s Ale And Spicy (another nice coriander flavoured beer) and Bend Brewing Co’s Wild Blue Yonder (an American beer with a nice creamy head and a sweet fruity aroma with hints of citrus). All in all a decent bit of grub all washed down with some fine real aleas.
The beer festival has been running for a week or more now and this wasn’t our first visit to The Acorn in that time, in fact it’s a bit of a regular haunt for us (you could call it our local). Plenty of fine ales most of the time but we’re both really enjoying the festival ales and more to come before it all wraps up on May 5th.
