The last beer I reviewed while on holiday in glorious Cornwall. This is the second beer from Fourpure’s Globetrotter bundle. This is Jazz Age; a 7.4% ABV Espresso Martini Stout. The combination of those two things on paper seems like a match made in heaven in all honesty. I chose to bring this one down for my friends to try as, despite many not being … Continue reading Beer Review: Jazz Age – Fourpure Brewing Co.
The penultimate ale that my friend Matty gave me but the last that I drank while on holiday. I’ve got one more tucked away at home waiting for an opportune moment. 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
Back to work at the pub now. Which, while it may not be the job I want for ever, is at least a job in this climate. The reason I mention this is because I’m hoping it won’t impact how often I get to review beers because I’m really enjoying drinking and writing about all the weird and wonderful options out there. Today’s beer is … Continue reading Beer Review: Baltika 7 Export – Baltika Breweries
Fourpure, a month or so ago, released their ‘Globetrotter’ bundle. Six new beers loosely based on various locations around the world. Most of these beers were super funky so I brought a couple with me to Cornwall for my friends to have a go at as well. First up is ‘Carnival’, inspired of course by Rio de Janeiro it is a 4.5% ABV Coconut and … Continue reading Beer Review: Carnival – Fourpure Brewing Co.
You know you have a good friends when they not only buy beers thinking of you, but also buy beers thinking of your Dad. One of the selection my mate Matty bought for me, he went out of his way to grab a gluten free beer so I could relay back to my old man! This is another new brewery for me in the form … Continue reading Beer Review: Wild Hare – Bath Ales
There has been an absence of posts recently. It has certainly not been because I’ve lost interest I can assure you but I have been on a wonderful holiday with some amazing university friends. And while it may be hard to believe some things really are more important than beer so I haven’t uploaded daily like usual. However, my friends are very supportive of my … Continue reading Beer Review: Otter Ale – Otter Brewery
Nothing clears up running out of beer like more beer. And there are few better beers than a Northern Monk. This is another from their range at Morrisons which usually knocks it out of the park. ‘It’s Great Up North’ is a pale ale coming in at 4.5% ABV so will be looking for something similar to their amazing ‘Faith’. Pours a pale gold with … Continue reading Beer Review: It’s Great Up North – Northern Monk
Apologies for the brief hiatus on a stunning holiday in Cornwall at the moment! The time has come however for the last Tiny Rebel review for the foreseeable future as I have finally drank the entire haul I bought well over a month ago. Ending it with another double bill this time as much like the previous one the main difference between the two beers … Continue reading Beer Review: Kiss Kiss // Bang Bang – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.
Recently London based Fourpure Brewing Company released six new beers themed around different parts of the world. Pretty funky brews they seemed too. This is not one of those beers. I bought this in addition to that bundle (and the glass of course, got to grow that branded glass collection) as a little treat because I absolutely love sour beers and this one sounded rather … Continue reading Beer Review: Coastline – Fourpure Brewing Co.
Returning to a Black Isle Brewery beer today. Perhaps the one I was most excited for simply because I haven’t had a porter in ages! People argue that porters aren’t a summer beer but in my opinion beer is for when you want it. It’s probably the style you can be most creative with and still come out with a good beer. This isn’t any … Continue reading Beer Review: Porter – Black Isle Brewery
