Now this is a beer I'm looking forward to trying. Firstly it's a porter which is my favourite type of beer, and secondly it says it's smoky, and everything is better smoked. London Porter is brewed exclusively for M&S by Meantime Brewery in Greenwich, London, I don't usually shop at M&S but I won some vouchers so here we are trying a few of their beers. So far one has been good, and one has been awful so I'm very much just keeping my fingers crossed here.

I recently tasted one of the best beers I've ever tried, it was Plum Porter by Titanic, so I decided to buy a selection from the Stoke on Trent brewery. The pack of 12 came to £30 which isn't bad really, and included two White Star Golden Ales. I'm not really sure what made me try this beer first, maybe it was just because there were two of them so I thought I may as well get one out the way early before moving on through the selection. But anyway it really will take a lot for this to live up to the Plum Porter, and in all honesty I don't expect it too, but here's hoping.
It's time for another brew from Stoke on Trent's Titanic Brewery. In this case I'm going for their golden session ale Steerage. I've reviewed a few of their beers recently, some good, some bad, and a couple which have been excellent. Naturally I'm hoping this one will be one of their better offerings. I do have fairly high hopes as I love a good golden ale, it just reminds me of simpler times before craft beers started creating a whole plethora of weird and sometimes wonderful beers. Anyway me and some work friends always meet up between Christmas and New Year because they all just miss me so much when I'm off. So this beer was opened just before beginning a Skype call with them as due to covid this was the nearest thing we could get to having actual fun.
