Parliamentary Roasts of the Week: W/C 16/07/18
In an attempt to prove that the least appreciated of the UK's age-old parliamentary conventions is MPs and Peers roasting each other, I've started a new project for this blog. Every week I'll aim to bring you the best quips, one-liners, and straight fire roasts dished out in the Palace of Westminster.

1001 Beers: 16. Thornbridge Jaipur
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA From: England Brewed by: Thornbridge First brewed: 2005 ABV: 5.9% Obtained from: Beerhawk I've had a Thornbridge beer before for this blog, and I'm afraid it was not a success. I think more than anything else it was the style wot lost it; I've never been a stout fan. But I've read good … Continue reading 1001 Beers: 16. Thornbridge Jaipur
1001 Beers: 15. Brooklyn Lager
Brooklyn Lager From: USA Brewed by: Brooklyn Brewery First brewed: 1988 ABV: 5.2% Obtained from: Beerhawk If you haven't tried it you've almost certainly seen Brooklyn Lager. You see it everywhere, and you can almost guarantee that if a pub or bar sells beer by the bottle, it'll stock Brooklyn. I must admit, this isn't … Continue reading 1001 Beers: 15. Brooklyn Lager
1001 Beers: 14. Goose Island IPA
Goose Island IPA From: USA Brewed by: Goose Island First brewed: 1993 ABV: 5.9% Obtained from: Beerhawk I’d been looking forward to this one for some time.

An update on my MP weekly series
Those of you who read this blog regularly, or have at least read it once, will likely be aware that I used to publish a weekly blog on the activities of my local MP. At first, it was about James Heappey, and then, for a while, it was about Bernard Jenkin. Now is the time … Continue reading An update on my MP weekly series
1001 Beers: 13. Goose Island Matilda
Matilda From: United States Brewed by: Goose Island Brewing Company First brewed: 2005 ABV: 7% Obtained from: Beerhawk Matilda by Goose Island is, at first glance, unlike any other beer I've had before. That's because it comes in a bottle ordinarily used for wine, not beer. Safe to say this Belgian Style Pale Ale was … Continue reading 1001 Beers: 13. Goose Island Matilda
1001 Beers: 12. Anchor Steam Beer
Anchor Steam Beer From: United States Brewed by: Anchor Brewing Company First brewed: 1896 ABV: 4.9% Obtained from: Beerhawk A steam beer is apparently something that uses lager yeast but ferments at an ale temperature. Apparently all the rage many years ago, Anchor have been pumping this beer out for years to ensure it has … Continue reading 1001 Beers: 12. Anchor Steam Beer
1001 Beers: 11. Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Samuel Adams Boston Lager From: United States Brewed by: Boston Beer Company First brewed: 1985 ABV: 4.9% Obtained from: Beerhawk Sam Adams. Another of the instantly recognisable beers that features in this project. Having heard good things in advance I went in with reasonably high expectations.
