I am full steam ahead when it comes to new breweries at the moment, I just keep going to buy beer and finding ones I’ve never heard of, which is fantastic. Black Lodge Brewery was founded in 2015 and is based out of Liverpool Baltic Triangle; the digital and creative Quarter of the city center. ‘I Know Karate, Voodoo Too’ (which appears to be a … Continue reading Beer Review: I Know Karate, Voodoo Too – Black Lodge Brewery
First week working back in the pub this year was a hectic one! Hopefully now that initial rush has subsided, I’ve got a bit more time for beer reviews and another little idea I’m cooking up. Today’s beer is yet another new brewery for me. St Mars of the Desert is a Sheffield based outfit and in 2020 was recognised as one of the world’s … Continue reading Beer Review: Quadruple – Saint Mars of the Desert
Recently my Mum treated me to some ales from a couple different breweries courtesy of some expiring air-miles! Loose Cannon is a new brewery for me based in Abingdon, a small town just south of Oxford. ‘Abingdon Bridge’ is their first ever, and most popular, beer. The bottle and website doesn’t actually say what style of beer it is but I imagine it’s looking towards … Continue reading Beer Review: Abingdon Bridge – Loose Cannon Brewery
The pubs are back open!!! Which means I’ve been flat out the last couple of days at work and the reviews are coming a bit slower. As such I thought I’d revisit a simpler beer from Aldi’s Hop Foundry range. I recently tried their ‘Sharp Tongue‘ Grapefruit Pale Ale. Disappointing would be the polite way to describe that beer. ‘One of the worst beers I’ve … Continue reading Beer Review: We’re Jamming – The Hop Foundry (Aldi)
Hitting up Stout Sunday with another beer from the folks at Brass Castle Brewery. My Dad was treating himself to an order recently from Taylor’s Gluten Free Beer Network and I asked him if he could tack on this weird beer for me. ‘Elvis Impersonator’ is a Banana, Facon (fake bacon) and Peanut Butter Porter rocking up at 6.7% ABV. Of course, the beer is … Continue reading Beer Review: Elvis Impersonator – Brass Castle Brewery
I’ve still got some of my Wylam birthday brews to try and I thought I’d go for their lightest ABV offering from the batch. ‘Crusaders of the Atom’ is a sesssion pale ale coming in at 3.8% ABV. I’m so used to having bigger, boozier beers at the moment that it’s nice to fall back on something lighter and see if the brewer can still … Continue reading Beer Review: Crusaders of the Atom – Wylam Brewery
You may remember, in many posts gone by, my complaining about my local Morrisons not stocking their full craft beer range. Well the one I went to recently doesn’t stock them all either, but it did have a fair few more including this little number from BrewDog’s OverWorks division. The OverWorks side of their company has a more experimental focus when it comes to beers, … Continue reading Beer Review: Cosmic Raspberry – BrewDog OverWorks
Today’s beer review is a little treat from my manager at work. Yeastie Boys are originally from New Zealand but have expanded their brewing operation into Australia and of course here in the UK. In the UK they use Utopian Brewing as their brewers to help make their recipes come to life for us here. I’ve had a couple of their beers before and you … Continue reading Beer Review: Devil May Care – Yeastie Boys
The lovely summer weather has been blessing us recently and my local brewery Pretty Decent has been pumping out some new beers to enjoy in the sun! This beer is very interesting in that it is the first Pretty Decent beer I’ve seen given an actual name: ‘The Good Things To Come’. It’s the first year the brewery has taken part in the International Women’s … Continue reading Beer Review: The Good Things To Come – Pretty Decent Beer Co.
As I previously mentioned, on my Mikkeller low alcohol post, Sainsbury’s have a range of six craft beers in at the moment. This new range appears to be a collaboration between the supermarket and online beer retailer Beer Hawk who have compiled a variety of different styles from various breweries across the country. Today’s beer is from Brew York, a brewery I’ve heard lots about … Continue reading Beer Review: Rhubarbra Streisand – Brew York
