Guest Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The refurbished Brundall Ram is looking very nice still smells of paint too so you can get high whilst you enjoy your pint of Carling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Mr C is darn sarf and having to drink their flat tasteless attempts at serving a proper pint, so no hope there then. I like the short stuff too ( I know pick yourself up off the floor from amazement), about 5'4" is about the perfect short for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Monday 10th December Right, last one as I think I am as bored of these as you all are I woke up to a beautiful morning at Somerleyton, 3° and a ground frost but gorgeous blue skies with the sun shining away. As ever I took the dog out for a walk and then sat with a coffee before preparing to set off, after a chat with my overnight neighbour I finally did head out at 1000 back up the Waveney towards Reedham. I travelled along the New Cut and joined the Yare passing under Reedham Bridge (9') and through Reedham itself. The moorings had topped the bank once again, but I didn't concern myself with that today as I was moving on. I continued along the Yare, and as I passed an empty Cantley I found the moorings in a worse state than the ones at Reedham. Mental note made to avoid later in the week unless the water levels dropped I continued on all the way along the river passing Brundall (tempted to stop at Coldham Hall but pushed on). Finally as I found myself passing the Ferry House at Surlingham, the side on moorings were really badly flooded but the stern on moorings were completely empty...What did I say earlier in the week about not passing up an opportunity So after mooring, I headed inside for a drink to find that there was an almighty (possible slight exaggeration) Christmas dinner going on. I had to wait for nearly 10 minutes to be served, if I wasn't asking for a beer I'd have walked out. Nevertheless once served I enjoyed a lovely pint or 2 beside the water watching my boat in the sunshine. I almost stayed for the night, but knowing I really needed to press on, I finished up and set off once more to my home mooring at Brundall And set out for an evening sampling the refurbished delights of the The Ram Inn and then another evening aboard before heading off to lay my fat one down.

SwanR Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Never get bored of seeing photos of the beautiful rivers. We've certainly had some amazing weather in every season this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the in thing on the forum to pretend lager is the anti Christ, but a decent northern lager trumps any of the snooty nosed beers banded about.

And I'm sorry to say, I had a pint of Becks and it was awful, maybe just a bad day but on that experience it wasn't good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Jayfire, I quite like the shape of the glass and Tan used to have the odd glass when available, but for me I could never get over the flowery taste when it was first introduced years ago.

I can only suggest giving it another go if you can. It's a fine beer, only dragged down by the comments of those snooty ale drinkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
