Talking about pork products, any one understand Sausage with Maple? I don't..
I've been to Canada more times than I can recall - maple with pretty much anything. Maple with pork products is amazing. Maple tea, not so much.
Some days I wish I lived in a maple-tapping state. I would love to do some tapping.

You could tap your workmates for five bucks to buy a sausage and maple butty 😉

Oh, and maple beer - yuck.

Those Rogue ales are awesome but you can't "session" on them, not at 7.5%.

However, Maple Whiskey... YUM! Specifically though, when you use it in a hot drink like apple cider or a hot toddy.

The Ale&Pie on High Holborn, next to my office

Live 5 minutes from Chiswick so there is no shortage in the locals either.

Maple Moon is much more subtle. It's not available in casks though.

The Melton Mowbray? Haven't been in there for a while. The nearest gig was a telecoms company in Red Lion Square, maybe 12 years ago. We used to have Friday afternoon meetings in the Dolphin 😉

Edit: High Holborn is a mile from where I currently work.

The GF bought one or two of those by mistake thinking it was just a cool name for an ale. The maple flavour is very subtle.

Good catch Chris, yes that's the one.

So working only 10 minutes away from each other, where and when are we going to meet?

There are two pubs almost opposite each other on Tottenham Court Road about 150 yards up from TCR tube station. One of them's called the Jack Horner. The one on the west side does amazing pies, the one on the east side has exceptional ESB. You choose 🙂

Where have you found ESB on draught?

Many many moons ago when I frequented London pubs it was either RamRod and Special or 80/- Heavy

Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

I've been to Canada more times than I can recall - maple with pretty much anything. Maple with pork products is amazing. Maple tea, not so much.
Some days I wish I lived in a maple-tapping state. I would love to do some tapping.

More than just Maple trees are good for syrup.

Takes quite awhile to boil down.

Done this with both a cooker - about 4' x 8' and a huge old kettle.

Learned whisking with a pine bough tames down the foam when boiling.

Plan on several days from start to finished product.

Also up here it can be somewhat of a gamble as to when the sap is running good.
