After drinking it for two weeks I put it down to the extra sweetness in the beer which really satisfies the hot, dry, sea-salty Greek air. It just doesn't work the same in the UK!<br /><br />I did have an amazing time drinking just Mythos and to be honest I wish I hadn't taken the others because I didn't want/need them.

Is it psychological? Or does anything cold taste better in the heat?!<br /><br />Anyway, if I had to take 3 bottles in my suitcase I'd take the following on holiday: <br /><br />Leeds Pale (I would have said Roosters but think that's only on tap) - great in the (rare) Leeds sun;<br /> <br />Brooklyn EIPA - all time favourite (although I'm also loving Stateside & Ruination at the moment!);<br /><br />and third hmmm, I'm liking the idea of a fruity Badger ale or even a Thwaites Wainwright which was delicious recently. What about an ironic Toyko* (Brits abroad?!)<br /><br />But there's nothing better than relaxing with the local stuff: local wine or Mythos and a pot of olives in the sun!Mark, Real-Ale-Reviews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825492961718171211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-57004161480434728792009-06-28T18:05:04.075+01:002009-06-28T18:05:04.075+01:00Lauren, don't leave anonymous comments, you ar...Lauren, don't leave anonymous comments, you aren't putting clothes in my bag!<br /><br />And hop pellets and hop oil, there's an idea!Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-19159492458529578562009-06-28T13:30:09.368+01:002009-06-28T13:30:09.368+01:00Leave it behind, man!

I discovered Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen for the first time when I was in Tenerife last year.<br /><br />Do some online research too. You never know, there may be an unusually good bar out there. I managed to find a great place run by an Austrian couple selling draught Gaffel Kolsch and all sorts.Dubbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035458276989843392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-22561820575505568642009-06-26T15:02:46.265+01:002009-06-26T15:02:46.265+01:00I'm with Bailey - it's like taking Heinz B...I'm with Bailey - it's like taking Heinz Beans with you.

The rest, I’m not sure. I’m thinking a BrewDog Coffee Imperial Stout because I’m preparing for a stout craving and this one is easy drinking and I love the hops at the end. Hardcore IPA and Punk IPA options. Maybe a gueuze for something different. Maybe Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.<br /><br />I fear it’s going to take me longer to choose the beers than it will to pick out all the clothes!Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.com
