It was my birthday last weekend, so I have spent much of the last seven days out and about. Still drinking during that time, of course, just at assorted pubs and bars rather than at home. I did manage to squeeze in one beer, however, which happens to be this one; Cosmic Fog a collaboration between Leeds based Northern Monk and Canterbury situated Floc. Northern … Continue reading Beer Review: Cosmic Fog – Northern Monk x Floc.
My girlfriend and I were on a lovely walk last week from Hackney Marshes to Victoria Park when we walked past what looked like the world fanciest SPAR shop of all time. Naturally, we popped in and spent a few minutes gawking at the variety of overpriced organic produce they had, before heading to the booze aisle. A very respectable range of craft beer from … Continue reading Beer Review: Why Do You Always Do This – Pressure Drop
After, quite literally, years of rumours about a Lidl opening up on my local high street, the door to the nations best (in my opinion) supermarket swung open just before Christmas. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately on the wallet without a middle aisle. I know, I didn’t know a Lidl could exist without one either! There is, however, a small beer section and so I thought … Continue reading Beer Review: Shark Bay – Hatherwood (Lidl)
While in Japan my girlfriend and I (along with both her parents and my parents) took a day trip the seaside town of Kamakura, just outside of Tokyo. We did a little hike which ended at a temple famous for it’s particularly large Buddha statue. Any temple of repute, of course, has it’s own gift shop selling all manner of thing but most importantly selling … Continue reading Beer Review: Kamakura Moon – Kamakura Beer
Well well well! It has certainly been awhile since I last posted a beer review on here. I’ve got a whole host of reasons (excuses really!) of why there haven’t been any reviews. None of those excuses include any bouts of sobriety, so realistically there should have been a steady stream of reviews rolling through. Anywho, I’m back from a month away in Japan (and … Continue reading Beer Review: Koshihikari Echigo Beer – Echigo Beer Co.
Today’s beer review is on the second of two beers my wonderful girlfriend brought me back from Other Half while on her trip to New York. This was the one that I was really looking forward to trying from the moment she sent the menu to me at the taproom she was at. ‘Triple Mosaic Daydream’, as implied, is a triple IPA of the oat … Continue reading Beer Review: Triple Mosaic Daydream – Other Half
My incredible girlfriend went to New York this year and brought me back a couple of beers from one of the USA’s, and even the world’s, most hyped and well known breweries in Other Half. They were founded in 2014 in Brooklyn and have quickly grown to add more locations in the state and further. The first of the two beers I tried was ‘Green … Continue reading Beer Review: Green City – Other Half
Just a couple stops on the train for me in Leyton lies Gravity Well brewing company under the railway arches. While they are featuring for the first time on my blog I have visited the taproom itself. I also got fairly drunk as they mostly make punchy ABV beers and I’d forgotten to eat (incredibly rookie error, I know)! I bought ‘Symmetries of Nature’ for … Continue reading Beer Review: Symmetries of Nature – Gravity Well
I bought a selection of beers from a fantastic zero waste and bottle shop in Leytonstone, East London called Stone Mini Mart who have an insane range of craft beers at very reasonable prices compared to others I’ve seen. First up from this selection is another beer review from Cornwall’s premier top of the hops brewery Verdant, based down in Falmouth. ‘Little Mountains We Move’ … Continue reading Beer Review: Little Mountains We Move – Verdant Brewing Co.
Nestled away in Devon, along the coast, is the town of Beer! Naturally when I was there a (fair) while ago I had to buy a ‘Beer from Beer’. Sadly it appears that both beer and the brewery are no longer in existence. The brewery was based in the town of Lyme Regis and it appears were brewing this beer especially for Rock Villa Off-Licence … Continue reading Beer Review: Beer From Beer – Town Mill Brewery
