A Beachside Brew with the Beach Boys

Beachside Vibe

Beachside BBQ

4% Alcohol

The Editor is fully aware how I adore an alliteration, so he wasn’t at all surprised that I had a bite and brew at the Bath based Beachside BBQ bistro. It also isn’t surprising that a place called Beachside has a Beachside Vibe, so I ordered one. A light bright lager on a frosty cold day to bring back some Picton sand dunes memories. What happens on the dunes stays on the dunes I always say. *

A golden beach sand pour with a bright white surfs up topper. A pretty pint, some would say a pro pour. Lager malt aroma, time to wade into this one. A full malt flavour with a mild lager sweet and a smooth finish. It’s more full flavoured than your typical light. A bit of ale bitters showed up on the finish but smoothed out again. An ideal lunch time lager.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I was on the beach under the warmth of the sun picking up some good vibrations from this Beachside Vibe. But enough California dreamin’, God only knows that the next best thing on this freezing cold day is quaffing a daytime draft at Beachside BBQ. **

*Editor’s Comment: I’m pretty sure you, or anyone else for that matter, have never said that before.

*Editor’s Comment: Beach Boys songs. “Wouldn’t it Be Nice” and “God Only Knows” are from the1966 album Pet Sounds. “The Warmth of the Sun” is from the 1964 album Shutdown Vol.2. “Good Vibrations” is from the 1967 album Smiley Smile and the John and Michelle Phillips (of The Mamas and the Papas)song “California Dreamin’” is covered on the Beach Boys 1986 greatest hits compilation Made in the USA.
