It is, as they say, always nice to look up an old friend and since my local stopped selling Timothy Taylor Landlord, I can honestly say I've missed it.
Now it isn't my favourite beer by a long way; in fact I find the flavours a little too intense and I generally struggle to drink more than two but it was always nice to have it around like the pork scratchings you might delve into now and again.
So I picked up a bottled version the other day. It's trademark strong hoppy flavours aren't quite so evident in this form and it actually makes for a refreshing summer drink. It's described as strong on the label but at 4.1% abv you shouldn't find yourself face down in the barbeque after a couple of these.
A welcome return for me - cheers!
