Beer 13 - Boddington's Pub Ale Draught

Drunk on July 31, 2010

Boddington's pub ale draught

Brewed in Manchester, England, bought and drunk at the Tilted Kilt pub and eatery on highway 6 in west Houston. 4.7% alc/vol. The Boddington's breery was bought from Mr. Boddington in 1989 by Whitbread, then by Interbrew in 2000 then by AB Inbev in 2009. Boddington's is golden in color, it comes out of the cask full of foam but the beer quickly settles with a nice creamy head, it is medium in body and smooth, there are no sharp edges to the beer. The slightly sweet taste and clean, pleasant aftetaste went well with the blue cheese burger and fries.

Paticia and I went to the Tilted Kilt for a late lunch. Despite the name and many of the pictures on the wall, the place bears no resemblance to a British pub. It is a pleasant enough American sports bar with lots of TVs tuned to sports channels and waitresses wearing very short kilts and showing lots of cleavage In their halter tops.
