Shake n Bake reacted to Rev in Beer Thread
The Leffe Royale is quite disappointing on first taste.
For a start, there's nothing in there that suggests IPA, no hit of hops, and the signature Leffe taste is not really to the fore.
It almost tastes like a watered down beer, which for a 7.5 abv beer is unusual.
No doubt I'll wake up on the kitchen floor tomorrow, wondering how I got there now I've said that.

We live quite close to the ground as well so it will be quite easy to just walk to the game. I was thinking I'll try and aim for a game against another team I don't like, or one of our promotion rivals. That way there will be some positives. We're just waiting for the Covid cases to drop so his wife and other daughter are a bit less anxious about him going out in a crowded place.

Shake n Bake reacted to Eddie in Beer Thread
Cans are very much the way forward in many circumstances (although beers requiring secondary fermentation may not be an option - I'm not at all sure on that). After all, a keg is just a big can, isn't it? If that's the case, draught beer is just canned beer with a bit more CO2 oomph added.
When I was a junior cellar-man (back in 1967, my dad got his first pub), we were only just moving to keg beers from wooden barrels (in those days, I used to have to thrawl a 36 gallon tub - including the weight of the wooden barrel, around 410 lb, or 1/5 of a ton) before tapping. When we moved to 18 gallon kilderkins or (wonderful) 9 gallon firkins, it was a piece of piss. The only problem was, 'piss' was the operative word in relation to the content.
The first canned beer I really enjoyed was Hoegaarden Grand Cru (apart from Gold Label in the days when I was motivated solely by abv), back in around 2002, when I went to Bruges for the first time. Since then, perhaps like yourself, I've probably relied almost entirely on bottled and draught beers to the exclusion of cans, but the soldering and lining process behind canning (they are now almost exclusively aluminium monobloc) has improved immeasurably - so I'm told.
Of late, I've been diving enthusiastically into Vocation beers (thanks, @sage) - and I can't fault them.

That's interesting, cans are the best way to preserve beer as they're airtight (whereas bottles can sometimes not be) and protect from light. I never drink from the can, but find the can doesn't leave any strange tastes. It's a lot better for storing unpasteurised beers too.
I used to be against cans but think I was associating them with warm cheap lager.

Did Johnny Russell score a peno on his debut, or did I imagine that?

Malan is a good player, but I don't think he's a number 3. He's similar to Joe Root and Ollie Pope in that he can accelerate the scoring and increase the run rate once the new ball has been worn down.
I agree about Crawley, he definitely has the ability but had it not been for that 267, he'd have been dropped a while ago. I've got high hopes for Hameed as an opener. Not a good return test for him, but he's looked great for Notts this year. I feel a bit sorry for Sibley, as he's usually done his job over blocking the new ball, but gotten out in silly ways when England are chasing the game in the 4th innings. Our middle order is a bit weak and #batdeep is no longer so Sibley scoring 20 of 90 balls looks terrible, when for a lot of teams that's a job well done.

It's great to see Bird doing well again, was worried he'd peaked too soon and had his confidence knocked, but hopefully this year will be his bounce back year!
I believe the Americans call a bad second season after a strong Rookie season a "Sophomore Slump" which I think is quite fitting for Bird.
