Who is Lloyd Cole some of you might ask?
Back in the 80's, Lloyd Cole and The Commotions were popular fixtures of the British Pop charts…
Mr. Cole's lyrics tended to be heavy on literary references so I did not expect him to share beer tasting notes in his European Beer Report (May 16, 2009), what Lloyd Cole drinks while on tour in Europe.
On a Spring 2009 trek, he found his favorite, Muller's Altbier brewed by Pinkus/Muller, in Munster (Germany).
Mrs. Beerbuzz seems to agree in Pinkus-Muller Brauerei: May the Beer-Force be with You (mybeerbuzz, January 2009)
I like their old fashioned label (does it say 1516).
As for the British creations, his 'favorite Northern Pint' comes from Timothy Taylor, a West Yorkshire brewer.
I would like to try their Landlord Beer (pictured above) just for its name.
A toast to Lloyd.
