While in England I’ve got to try plenty of beers I can’t get back home.
First the lawless lager at the Stone Henge visitor center.
Then at dinner at The George Inn in Lacock England, a Bier on cask and what I was told when ordering ahead was a lager but when I paid I was told it was their English IPA on draft. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way they sold beer to go in 500ml bottles so I ordered some.
Lastly the Pale Ale back at the hotel.
Some pictures from Windsor Castle, Stone Henge, Bath & Lacock where r had dinner and some films were made there. Such as Harry Potter.

One of my daughter’s favorite styles is Kolsch. Isn’t it great we are in a “Beer Renaissance,” where you can enjoy a beer with your kids? And she likes it? Wow….! Things have changed.

Today I’m examining a fine patient, Reissdorf Kolsch, Since 1894. Ya know, for being an ale, the folks at Heinrich Reissdorf GmbH do a great job producing a very clean beer – Dare I say it…. Even lager clean! Very much like a good Helles!

Even though this is an ale, Kolsch is traditionally lagered for months, which obviously does the same for Kolsch as it does a good Helles or Pilsner. Yeast continues cleaning up things and dropping the offenders to the bottom of the tank. Let me rethink that – Ale yeast surviving at lager temps? Another one of the quandaries of the beer trade. The result is a great beer!

Surprisingly, the can does not have ABV shown, unusual for a Euro beer. The internet tells be I’m polishing off a 4.8 ABV beer, the glass is showing great head and a good one finger of head, medium carbonation. Das ist gutes bier!!!
