Seamus Heaney (13 April 1939 – 30 August 2013)
With reference to yesterday, the store we visited today had no Estrella, but the one I will visit tomorrow should have, so in the meantime I am having San Miguel, which is fine. I quite like some of Seamus's stuff (with apologies if "quite like" is blasphemously restrained).
ReplyDelete...and if the "some of" is blasphemously restricted.
DeleteNo god, no blasphemy.
DeleteThus: Absolve te.
Looking forward to learn what you think of Estrella compared to San Miguel.
Seamus Heaney was a fine man.
On your recommendation I am imbibing the Estrella and finding it good. Quite similar to San Miguel, to me, but I am more of a darker beer fellow. Cheers, and thanks for the introduction to my new Spanish friend. I am sure I will meet it again.
ReplyDeleteMore lingering on the palate than San Miguel, perhaps. Certainly nice.
DeleteAnd by way of arranging a return blind date for you, if not already met perhaps you should arrange to meet Old Jock beer brewed by Broughton Brewery in the Scottish Borders https://broughtonales.co.uk/product/old-jock/
DeleteMore lingering on the palate than San Miguel: That's what I think.
DeleteAs for Old Jock: Unfortunately, it is not offered in my neck of the woods, and I don't buy online. Same goes for St Feuillien Brune and Harviestoun's Old Engine Oil Stout.
Perhaps I ought to visit you for a couple of weeks. ;-)
