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
Another beer from Morrisons new craft beer range and one I was desperately looking forward to trying. This is ‘Norse Star’ from the typically fantastic Northern Monk who have collaborated with Norwegian brewery Lervig (who are apparently stout brewing masters) to create this beer. This brew is a Vanilla, Cacao Imperial Stout coming in at a staggering 9% ABV. As with all Northern Monk beers … Continue reading Beer Review: Norse Star – Northern Monk x Lervig
Today’s beer is one I’ve had kicking around for a while. This is Toast Ale’s Session IPA that can be picked up from Co-OP, Waitrose or Tesco. On the face of it, it seems like just another standard session IPA but it’s a beer brewed with a twist. Toast Ale beers are brewed with surplus fresh bread to help reduce wastage in the food production … Continue reading Beer Review: Session IPA – Toast Ale
A beer gifted to my by my wonderful grandparents! This is from Hatherwood Beer Company also known as the name given to Lidl’s own brand beers. Typically these are contract brewed by Shepherd Neame I believe but this time around they’ve openly branded it as a ‘collaboration’ with Stewart Brewing. Being a Scottish brewer this beer is only available in Lidl stores in Scotland. ‘Bright … Continue reading Beer Review: Bright Lights – Hatherwood Craft Beer Company x Stewart Brewing
Returning to a beer I picked up in Lidl during their beer festival. Feels like that was an age ago now! This is the third and final Loch Lomond Brewery beer I picked up and it’s a can of one of their core beers ‘Bravehop’. It’s an IPA coming in at strong-ish 6% ABV. Based on the track record of the previous beers this should … Continue reading Beer Review: Bravehop – Loch Lomond Brewery
