Beer 🍺 and Pizza 🍕 ~ The Abbot 🙏 approves 👏

### Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers. Another Saturday and another beer. Being the 4th in the US yesterday was anyone out celebrating?  ### I always think of summer as being independence time.. On June 12th we have the Philippines Independence day, a day I remember as it's my wedding anniversary. Then July 4th it's the good old US of A, followed by Venezuela today the 5th of July as well as Algeria where I used to work. Notable ones are The Bahamas on July 10th which is Mrs T's birthday. Two more places I worked are India on August 15th and then on my birthday of August 17th another country I used to work in which was Gabon! ### By heck that has got me thirsty!!!   I looked in the fridge and decided to choose a beer I have had recently. The reason being .. shameless plug.. is that we in the [Silver Bloggers Community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106316) have started our Chronicles prompts with the first one being [The Silverbloggers Chronicles - Prompt #01](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@hive-106316/duderishversion-the-silverbloggers-chronicles-prompt-01) ... It is all about your favourite colours this week, mine being [The Chronicles: Prompt 01 - My Blue-tiful Obsession](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@tengolotodo/the-chronicles-prompt-01-my-blue-tiful-obsession) ... So I didn't see a blue beer, but I did see a beer from Greene Brewery.  Greene Brewery .. it's almost a colour!  This was my post about it last time [Church and Abbot beer on a scorching day](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@tengolotodo/church-and-abbot-beer-on-a-scorching-day) But today is another day and so this is what we are having ...  ### Abbot Rich & Malty Premium Ale  I think I mentioned it before that it is very similar to the beer that I was brought up on ... namely McEwans Export. It is a good pint, but it is very beery and not like so many of the craft brews of now that don't really taste of beer. Sometimes I wonder if people like beer, it was a bit like people drinking shandies, the lemonade in it helped weaken the beer taste!   It's a nice looking pint. Not too foamy and not too bubbly.  At 5% ABV it is a good average strength.  I do like the malt in there and the bitterness.  ### Pizza and Beer  They say it goes together...   See what I said about not being too foamy ...  ### But it seems it's home to an alien! Look inside the glass!   ### Abbot Blurb  [Abbot Ale](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/our-beers/greene-king/abbot-ale) is brewed by Greene King Brewery in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in England. It is a 5% ABV premium bitter. Abbot has a malty profile with rich fruit cake notes and a balanced hop finish, and is apparently brewed longer for a distinctive, smooth, and mature character. Thank you my gemini for providing that Abbot Blurb!  Posting about a beer on a Saturday on the Beer Community .... **Cheers to local beers and Happy Summer everyone** It's a whole bunch of fun, so check out [The #BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 418](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@detlev/beersaturday-418) from the one and only @detlev. This #BeerSaturday week I would like to invite @nancybriti1 to share a beer with us🍻 on Venezuelan Independence day.. ### Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
