Big Ell Panda Bear
Subject: Restaurants
Does anybody know of a decent restaurant where I can turn up and not be affronted by a myriad of wine glasses trying to tempt me on the table. It never works, I want a beer with my food. Surely there must be a quality establishment which could have a few beer glasses on the table that they use a form of Staff Recommendation.

Subject: Beer To Dine For
I have recently come across ‘The Beer To Dine For’ from Greene King which appeared as a new line in Tesco’s. It is an excellent summer beer and as the suggests a good complement with food. It is brewed with Tettnang Hops imported from Washington State and Oregon. I find it has a very distingtive citrus aroma and flavour. I have introduced this to a couple of friends who have become instant fans, as a result it is now flying off the shelves in at least three Tesco stores around the country!

Sampled 750 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. I had to try this one, despite being sceptical to the gimmicky name: IMO, most good beers are worth ‘to dine for’ (with a possible exception of the very sweetest ones), so why should this one be different? It isn’t – it’s basically a decent standard golden ale, where the Tettnang hops (more commonly found in German lagers) shine through nicely. Citrussy aroma, notes of flowers and honey.
Pleasant lightbodied flavour with a moderate but decent hoppiness throughout, nice but nothing spect.....
