Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.
Saturday on Hive of course means it's time to write about the good old amber nectar or Beer and today's no exception for me.
This morning I had a mystery shop to do at our local pub. The only drawback was that it was scheduled to be done between 9am and noon.
But it is free beer , free food plus we would be in town hitting some charity shops anyway, so no drawback in reality!
Would I have a beer with my Scottish breakfast? Let's find out!
Answer ... Two different beers 🍺🍺
I had done a quick check on the interwebby and seen that their main meals were served from 11.30am. So if I got there before 11.30 it would be a fry up.
But did you know that yesterday was a special day! That determined the food!
11.25am pub is pretty full!
It was quite lively in there, and by the time we got a booth table, had the waitress clean it, decide what to eat etc the time was after 11.30am!
Drinks arrived ...
Look at the smooth creamy head on that!
Can you guess what the two beers were?
In the meantime Mrs T wanted a cup of coffee.
Self serve white coffee served by yours truly
To be fair the coffee is pretty good, it is also unlimited refills for £1.19...
You can stick your fluffing Starbucks up your hooha!
I have to admit I have taken the laptop there and spent a few hours in the winter there before. Great place to get some work done cheaply.
Food was ordered
Mexican Corona or Belgian Leffe
To lime or not to lime?
I must admit I prefer the Leffe, maybe the strength has something to do with it!
Artsy trio ~ or foam for three!
Cheers
First up I had the Corona
Probably because it has the lime, you will see why in a second I preferred having the citrus here, or having the best last!
Pint 1 Corona
I am not going to tell you about the brewery and beer stats etc as I have done that before!
A world-famous pale lager from Mexico, Corona Extra is light-bodied, crisp, and refreshing. Its mild flavour is famously enhanced by serving it ice-cold with a fresh lime wedge.
Thank you Mr Gemini AI and here is that lime wedge that plopped into the glass!
Corona finished ... onto second pint
Pint 2 Leffe
Food Up!
Fish and Chips!
National Fish and Chip Day 6th June 2025
Yes yesterday was National Fish and Chip day yesterday!
Who fluffing knew?
Not me until today lol. So Mrs T said she fancied fish and chips. Me too said I!
I doused mine in a sauce that I never have unless it is on my fish!
Can you guess the name?
And the green things... are called ...
Mushy Peas
The notice!
Yes there was no garden peas on the menu, which was fine as I am partial to mushy peas!
What about you?
There you go, two pints of lager. Not my drinks of choice but they are free so I ain't complaining!
My Verdict
To be honest I think the corona is a bit insipid and the lime was a gimmick when it arrived on these shores all those years ago.
Leffe I do like as it is stronger. It also seems to be more malty that may be a reason I prefer it!
What about you... do you drink these lagers?
Posting about a beer on a Saturday on the Beer Community ....
