To accompany my Pub Spotlight today I’ve also got a review! I recently signed up to online bottle shop ‘Premier Hop’ and their unique Instagram subscription service. A whole load of beers arrived and the first I’m going for is a collaboration between Cheltenham based DEYA and Premier Hop themselves to celebrate the bottle shop’s second birthday! I’ve heard incredible things about DEYA so I … Continue reading Beer Review: Shades On – Deya x Premier Hop
Trying to clear the beer review backlog today in time for Christmas as I recently bought a lot of craft beer online while a tad tipsy. Like going to the supermarket when your hungry, it’s never a good combination! So we’ve got a review double bill today and our second is from Siren Craft Brew. I really like Siren and it’s been far too long … Continue reading Beer Review: Lumina – Siren Craft Brew
A new brewery for today’s review on recommendation from one of my local delis/bottle shops: Arch Rivals. Wylam Brewery is actually based out of Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park, Newcastle. I’m a bit of a fan of weird beer names and this one might take the title for me so far. ‘Greyhounds Don’t Like Jazz’ is Sour IPA at 7.1% ABV that is apparently … Continue reading Beer Review: Greyhounds Don’t Like Jazz – Wylam Brewery
As we get ridiculously closer to Christmas I’ve chosen a more festive brew for today’s review. ‘Advent Ale’ is from Hogs Back Brewery who are based out of Surrey. You might recognise them from their logo or their popular, widely available beer T.E.A. At 4.4% ABV this Ruby Ale is hoping to inspire some festive flavours and I’m looking forward to my first Hogs Back … Continue reading Beer Review: Advent Ale – Hogs Back Brewery
I’ve gone alcohol free today. Felt like I needed a break after a weekend of heavy drinking after finding out Christmas had been cancelled. I’m sure some can relate! Another Lidl own brand beer today as well, with the difference being it’s not marketed under their craft beer brand Hatherwood. It’s part of their imported German range contract brewed by Privatbrauerei Eichbaum. ‘Patronus’ is a … Continue reading Beer Review: Patronus (Alcohol Free) – Privatbrauerei Eichbaum (Lidl)
I suppose I’m going to have to start drinking earlier in the day to get these snaps, it was only quarter past 4 when I took this and it was already pitch black! With the unfortunate news of London heading into Tier 4 I guess I’ll have some more free time again. Anyways, today’s review is on a core range beer from acclaimed Leeds brewers … Continue reading Beer Review: Northern Star – Northern Monk
Where as Lidl seem to only have the Hatherwood Craft Beer Co. for their own range of contract brew beer, Aldi appears to have a couple. Today’s beer is from The Buckthorn Brewery, although it is just another own brand and has been brewed especially for Aldi stores. That said there’s nothing wrong with the own brand brews and they are often effective and a … Continue reading Beer Review: Stateside IPA – The Buckthorn Brewery (Aldi)
Pretty Decent Beer Co. are my local brewery and they make cracking beer, which is why I stuck them in my Instagram giveaway! When I went to pick up my choice of prizes I saw they’d also released a new beer. A Double IPA brewed over Lockdown 2 and apparently the first in a series of winter DIPAs from the guys under the arches. According … Continue reading Beer Review: Double IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.
Been a fan of Thornbridge for a little bit now and of all their core range beers, this is the one I was most looking forward to trying. ‘Satzuma’ is, naturally, a satsuma pale ale but importantly also gluten free. It’s one of the beers from my Dad’s advent calendar but he asked if I wanted to grab a quick snap and a little sip … Continue reading Beer Review: Satzuma – Thornbridge Brewery
I was searching for a funky beer for a giveaway I’m running on my Instagram (check it out here if you like! https://www.instagram.com/lorenzobeerreviews/). I settled on this ‘Bueno Shake’ from Brighton based Unbarred Brewery, a 6.4% Milk Stout. The idea of a Kinder Bueno flavoured stout just seems like a match made in heaven so hopefully the high expectations I’ve built up for it are … Continue reading Beer Review: Bueno Shake – Unbarred Brewery
