Beer Review: Winter Special – Hatherwood Craft Beer Company (Lidl)

I’ve recently discovered a new style of beer: the winter ale. Naturally, it’s a Christmas period exclusive and many breweries appear to have a yearly tradition of brewing this one off seasonal special. I enjoy reviewing some own brand beers and particularly Lidl’s. As always these beer are contract brewed, with this one being assigned to big regional brewers, Marstons.

It’s their ‘Chatsworth Gold’ a golden ale brewed with honey from the Chatsworth Estate and coming in at 4.6% ABV. Visually the beer pours clear amber in the glass … Continue reading Beer Review: Chatsworth Gold – Peak Ales

This is another new South West brewery, Exmoor Ales, with their flagship Exmoor Gold. Touted as the first modern Golden Ale first brewed in 1986, these are the slightly more old school beers that … Continue reading Beer Review: Exmoor Gold – Exmoor Ales

Beer Review: Pedigree – Marston’s

We are going old school today with a beer my Dad used to drink in his youth! This beer is from one of Britain’s oldest brewers and industry giants Marston’s. Pedigree has been part of their staple range for decades at this point and is a bottle conditioned amber ale. Not something I’d pick up myself usually but I was having a chat with Dad … Continue reading Beer Review: Pedigree – Marston’s
