Worlds Bitterest Ale
I've just read in my CAMRA magazine that the worlds bitterest bitter has been made.
Pitstop Brewery have called it The Hop comes in at 8%Abv and is made with Simcoe/Centennial/Chinook hops plus extract isolene. This comes in at a whopping 323! Yes 323 IBU's!!! Jeez the mouth must end up like Ghandi's flip flop and drier than the Gobi Desert - but lets be honest you've got to try it eh?

Good way to get some publicity that's for sure. The 8% will help balance it a bit buts its gonna pack a punch.

According to the article, Pitstop breweries boss Peter Fowler toasted his success at The Royal Oak, Wantage, Oxfordshire, where the beer has gone on sale...
323 IBU's? My God, that sounds like it wears boxing gloves!

OK .. if anyone is going, can they swing by North London and pick me up.
With a list of ales like that, probably no point thinking about coming back home, it'll be a one-way ticket.

If Carlsberg made pubs.... hang on.
That's a pretty impressive list of ales, sounds like my kind of pub. I went to a pub the other night and everytime a beer ran out and different one came on. They had 4 taps and all changed by the end of the night. They did have a few bands playing in the field behind which made it busier than normal. Nice to have some variety throughout the evening though.

Might need to check that out next time I visit the parents who live down that neck of the woods. As for round here I spend my time trying to dodge pubs selling Marstons Pedigree (what went wrong there?)and looking for those that have wised up and sell Timothy Taylors Landlord.
