Tonight we’re tasting Billericay Barista by The Billericay Brewery. With a name like that there’s sure to be coffee, and I know Bella and Barty love coffee. We’re also being helped by Bentley who came to us from Essex #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡

Since Barty has been doing the gardening, Bentley has offered to do the honours. He looks rather eager to get in. What a sensible badger #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

Alright lads have a gander at that. This is a dark brown/black colour, with hints of red round the edges when you hold it up to the light. Yes Barty, like a deep red rose #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

Now time to check those aromas, although I’m sure nothing could compare to Barty’s flowers. This is smoky with coffee and chocolate aromas and a slight berry hint #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

Since Bentley opened the beer, Barty is insisting he has first taste. What a kind badger he is #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

It’s your turn now Barty. Make sure you have a good taste #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

Baa. This has a chocolate flavour with some fruitiness to start, which matures to a dry, smoky coffee finish #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

This is a smooth rich beer, with a medium body and a bit of fizz. What’s that Bentley? You’re giving additional tasting notes? And Barty is taking dictation? Fair enough. Leave some for Barty though #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🦡🦡

Baa. This has a nice blend of flavours and is fairly light for a porter. It finishes on a nice note too. We are off now so the badgers can make me a coffee. Cheers everyone 🍻 #petespints

Baa. Hello everyone. As it’s a Bank Holiday I thought I’d have another beer. This one is from Beeston Brewery and is called The Squirrels Nuts. Who better to help me with this than young Alfie #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

Alfie is just as enthusiastic about beer as me. Right then Alfie, get those nutcrackers, I mean that bottle opener, going #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

Have a look at that Alfie, a nice deep dark chestnut brown. Nice and inviting. Alfie, are you dribbling at the thought of the beer or the mention of chestnuts? Or both? #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

Now get that nose twitching Alfie. This has a sweet, slightly nutty aroma and maybe a hint of biscuit #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

You look like you’re enjoying that Alfie, and why wouldn’t you? A nice nutty beer #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

Baa. This has a nice traditional mild flavour. It’s sweet and smoky with those nutty hints from the aroma and a pleasant dry hopped finish #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

This is a fairly dry beer overall, fairly loght bodoed and only a little bit of fizz. Where are you off to Alfie? You’ll be back in a minute? OK #petespints 🍺🍺🍺🐏🐿

Ah yes, what else would we have as a snack with this than a bag of nuts. This is a nice session beer, so let’s finish it off and start those nuts. Cheer everyone 🍻 #petespints

Oh baa. Our lovely duck friend, Mr Quacks is visiting us. I’ve been saving this beer to share with him
