I'll Wait

The Championship

Saturday 3 February 2018

SUFC 2017/18 Game 55

A major disappointment in Tamworth. After a hard week of Googling, The Tamworth Tap had come near the top of the pile. The outlet for The Tamworth Brewing Co. If I had a street, that sounded like it'd be right up it. The flames were further stoked by their strategically placed Flyer in The King's Ditch. Lips were dripping.

I wended. Slid in. Two usual suspects at the bar. FFS. The brewing kit is there in the window. They've got one beer on. A dark 'un. In the brewery (tap). One on. FFS. Of course, the line is…
“This is the Brewery isn't it mate. And you've only got one on. But, you make it here. In the Brewery. I'LL WAIT”

The King's Ditch (also Tamworth) had only one major drawback. They'd got Flyers out for the One Beer Arms. Otherwise. Superb gaff. MicroPub. I'm going to say Kent Style. The merest sliver of bar front. The beers (& ciders) on Gravity out the back. And, a nice touch. A big TV fixed to the wall. Upon which, you can watch them getting your beer out the back on CCTV.

Framework, Stenson's Beard Oil on gravity at 4.6%. Not much wrong with it. It just looked a little unappealing. Flat Diet Coke. Watery & thin in the mouth. But, a well balanced flavour. Bitter enough to sate me.

Having minced out of The Tamworth Tap, The Market Vaults profits increased by one pintsworth. (It's across the street).
Church End, Goats Milk on cask at 3.8%.

Finally (or more accurately, initially) I'd had a very intriguing & cloudy & enjoyable Abbeydale, Voyager IPA, Sorachi, Lime & Enigma on cask at 5.5% in The Railway.

United never got going there. We were hammered 3 zip. That's a hammering. We weren't overrun. We kept at it. It, was a bit one dimensional. It wasn't penetrative. But there was an it. We were it, not shit. Scoreline correctly says hammered.
