A beer I’ve had for a little while now that I picked up in Tesco. A collaboration between Thornbridge and North Brew Co this beer is conveniently named ‘North Bridge’. This brew is a new style for me and perhaps a newer style for the wider world of beer in the form of a Mountain IPA. Supposedly a cross between the bitterness of a West … Continue reading Beer Review: North Bridge – Thornbridge x North Brew Co.
My search for quality alcohol free craft beer for an ever so slightly drier January than usual continues with today’s beer. ‘YES’ from First Chop is vegan, gluten free and 0.5% ABV which on paper does sound like the most boring combo for a beer. However, it’s always good to have an open mind when it comes to beer as anything can surprise you. A … Continue reading Beer Review: YES – First Chop
It’s a new brewery for today’s Stout Sunday and a gluten free one at that. While there are an ever increasing number of gluten free beers available the majority end up being lagers or IPAs. So when my Dad finds an online store selling a variety of GF stouts and porters for the winter he couldn’t be happier. Bought from Taylor’s Gluten Free Beer Network … Continue reading Beer Review: Hygge Figgy – Brass Castle Brewery
Been dipping into some of my ‘fancier’ beers the last couple of days and this is another one from the folks at Premier Hop. A new brewery again today in the form of Bang the Elephant from Langley Mill near Nottingham. I know you should never judge a book by the cover but I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t pick it up … Continue reading Beer Review: Odissi – Bang the Elephant
Today’s review is from my Premier Hop Subscription order I made just before Christmas. Cloudwater Brew Co is a brewery I’ve seen have a lot of praise heaped on them for making fantastic beers. Based up in Manchester I decided on ‘DDH Hooked on Citra’ as my first taste. Naturally this beer is a Double Dry Hopped IPA with focus on the Citra hop. It … Continue reading Beer Review: DDH Hooked on Citra – Cloudwater Brew Co.
With the current situation I don’t think I’d honestly be able to keep Dry January going! However, I’ve thought I’d try and cut back a little this month. I picked up a selection of alcohol free beers from my last trip to Morrisons to give them a go and see if there are any readily available low or no alcohol beers that also taste good. … Continue reading Beer Review: Without (Gold) – St Peter’s Brewery
I have so many beers in the fridge at the moment it’s hard to keep track! This is one I’ve had for a little bit now that I picked up at Lidl a couple months back. Stewart Brewing is based in Scotland and I’ve had a couple of their brews in the past. This is ‘Forbidden Fruit’ a Grapefruit Pale Ale at a fairly sessionable … Continue reading Beer Review: Forbidden Fruit – Stewart Brewing
My lovely friend at work Catherine generously gave me this beer to see what I thought about it. This beer has been brewed especially for IKEA stores by Krönleins Bryggeri who are a macro brewery, unsurprisingly, based in Sweden. This is a dark lager style beer which I’ve potentially had once before. I was a big fan of it then as it provides a really … Continue reading Beer Review: IKEA Öl Mörk Lager – Krönleins Bryggeri
A beer from my local brewery Pretty Decent Beer Co! They’ve started a new winter double IPA series and this is number 2. ‘Southern DIPA’ was apparently brewed on the shortest day of the year and of course comes in at a hefty 7.7% ABV. The last DIPA was absolutely gorgeous so I’ve been looking forward to the next edition in this series eagerly. Visually … Continue reading Beer Review: Southern DIPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.
We are in another lockdown and I’m still furloughed so I think I’m well within my right to extend my festivities to one more Christmas beer. Another lovely treat from from my friend Matty, this is one of Otter Brewey’s winter specials ‘Otter Claus’. I have previously had their classic Otter Ale which was a solid traditional English brew. I braved the weather to get … Continue reading Beer Review: Otter Claus – Otter Brewery
