Today’s beer review sees us return to something I’ve not done in a while. Well two things actually: a low alcohol beer and a beer from Thornbridge! Always a bit apprehensive picking up AF beers not because I have an inherent dislike to them but more because they often aren’t that great. This is ‘Zero Five’, a low alcohol pale ale named as such because … Continue reading Beer Review: Zero Five -Thornbridge Brewery
It’s been a while since a beer review and they’ve been a bit sporadic this week as a result of me being on holiday. Can’t have everything revolving around beer now can we (although I did pick pick up a couple of brews while I was in the Peak District)! Today’s beer is from acclaimed brewers Neon Raptor based out of Nottingham. Another pick up … Continue reading Beer Review: All Signs Point To Fort Lauderdale – Neon Raptor Brewing Co.
Another BrewDog beer for an even more belated stout Sunday today, another from Morrisons new craft beer range and another nitro twist on a previously released beer. This is ‘Choco Libre’ an 8.2% Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout. The name is likely a pun on Mexican wrestling Lucha Libre but I like to think it’s also a nod to one of my family’s favourite movies the … Continue reading Beer Review: Choco Libre (Nitro Edition) – BrewDog
Another little takeaway beer from the folks at Tracks, one of my local railway arch bars. Almost all the reviews so far have focused on craft beer in the UK but I believe this will be the first beer from the continent, specifically Germany. Quite a popular brand, this is Rothaus, who predominantly produce wheat beers. For this review we’ve got ‘Weizenzäpfle’ at 5.4% ABV. … Continue reading Beer Review: Weizenzäpfle – Rothaus
Today’s beer is another gracious gift from my grandparents and as such another brewery from up in Scotland. This beer is from Harviestoun Brewery. ‘Bitter and Twisted’ is part of their core range and is a golden ale at a lovely sessionable 4.2% ABV. Probably my favourite traditional style of beer, I always look forward to trying a new one. Pours a crystal clear gold … Continue reading Beer Review: Bitter & Twisted – Harviestoun Brewery
Today’s beer is indeed from Morrisons but not part of their new range. ‘Clairvoyance’ is a double dry hopped IPA and has been on their shelves from quite a while now. This beer is brewed by Magic Rock a new brewery for the blog but one I have dabbled in before. I quite enjoy a DDH every now and then and at 7.2% ABV I’m … Continue reading Beer Review: Clairvoyance – Magic Rock Brewing
Missed the classic Stout Sunday by a day but no matter the review is here! This is another from Morrisons new craft beer range and another from heavyweights BrewDog. This is the Nitro edition of their vanilla and oatmeal milk stout ‘Jet Black Heart’. With a nitro beer we’re hoping the addition of nitrogen will add a creaminess to the feel of the beer. This … Continue reading Beer Review: Jet Black Heart (Nitro Edition) – BrewDog
Today’s beer is a lovely little gluten free number picked up from another bar under a railway arch. Seems to be the go to place to set a bar/restaurant at the moment! This beer is from a gluten free exclusive brewery Bellfield based up in Edinburgh, who only have a small core range. ‘Lawless Village’ is a 4.5% ABV IPA. Pours a clear amber colour … Continue reading Beer Review: Lawless Village – Bellfield Brewery
This is it! I’ve finally got around to picking up a Verdant Brewing Company beer. What is crazy is that despite going to university in Falmouth and Penryn, Cornwall (where these guys are based) I’ve never tried one of their beers! Having heard amazing things about them I picked one up from a little railway arch bar/restaurant turned bottle shop. This is ‘Reading Colour’ a … Continue reading Beer Review: Reading Colour – Verdant Brewing Co.
Apologies for the two day hiatus, had a driving test recently so have been slightly preoccupied! A new brewery today back from Lidl’s craft beer festival. This is 71 Brewing’s ‘Left Coast’, an appropriately named West Coast IPA at 5.4% ABV. I’ve actually seen this beer still kicking around in some Lidl shops so if it takes your fancy after this review you might still … Continue reading Beer Review: Left Coast – 71 Brewing
