The elusive double upload today! Despite doing the Taproom Talk I still fancied doing a classic beer review. This is a new brewery for me all the way from the Orkney Islands with The Orkney Brewery. This was given to me by grandparents as even they have been absorbed into my beer world! This ‘Orkney Gold’ is unsurprisingly a golden ale and coming in at … Continue reading Beer Review: Orkney Gold – The Orkney Brewery
This is the first post in what is hopefully a new series for the blog. I want to try different things with my writing but still have it centered around beer and food! Taprooms are essentially bars owned by a brewery that are also often right next to the brewery themselves. This means the beer you are getting is guaranteed to be as fresh as … Continue reading Pretty Decent Beer Co.
Very last of the back log so need to get back to drinking some new beers soon! Thankfully I’ve got a couple days off work to get cracking with that task! So another short review today with a beer I had kicking about for quite a while. This is Fourpure’s core session IPA ‘Hemisphere’ coming in at 4.2% ABV. A fairly clear light gold colour … Continue reading Beer Review: Hemisphere – Fourpure Brewing Co.
The penultimate of the Black Isle Brewery core range left to review. Working in a pub ironically leaves less time for beer so will be another quick one today from the back log. This is 21 Pale a (unsurprisingly) pale ale that was brewed to celebrate Black Isles 21st birthday. As with all their beers it comes in at a light 4.1% ABV. The beer … Continue reading Beer Review: 21 Pale – Black Isle Brewery
Another new brewery featured in the Lidl beer festival, however, not from Scotland but from Swansea in Wales. This is Boss Brewing and their Peanut Butter Pale ‘Nutjob’. Very interesting concept I think as the typical beer style to carry peanut flavours is often the stout, so to see it in a pale ale could go either way in my eyes. Boss Brewing also has … Continue reading Beer Review: Nutjob – Boss Brewing
Finally getting back to one of the Fourpure Globetrotter beers. Had these for a while now but I wanted to try and review some of those Lidl beers first. Another super interesting one this is ‘Lantern’ an Earl Grey Session IPA brewed with Earl Grey tea, at a light 3.7% ABV. The previous two were really good so expectations are being maintained high for this … Continue reading Beer Review: Lantern – Fourpure Brewing Co.
Today’s beer is all kinds of great! It’s a new brewery first and foremost. It’s a completely new style for me. It’s gluten free so the old man can have them. And lastly it’s dirty cheap from the Lidl Scottish Beer Fest! This is Manchester based First Chop and this is a can of their Syl Black IPA. Named after the artist Syl Johnson, who … Continue reading Beer Review: Syl – First Chop
A quick review today, as I delve into the backlog of beers that need writing up. Another from Black Isle Brewery’s core range with Red Kite. Named after the bird that was released in the area, it is an unfiltered amber ale. You’ll have to excuse the change of scenery as rain at the time prevented me from using the usual spot up the garden … Continue reading Beer Review: Red Kite – Black Isle Brewery
We are taking part in Stout Sunday today with another from the Lidl Scottish Beer Fest range! This is from Barney’s Beer in Edinburgh and is their Marshmallow Milk Stout. At the 2018 Scottish Beer Awards this stout won the Bronze Award, so I’d argue expectations are certainly slightly higher. Coming in it a strong 7.4% ABV let’s get into this review! The beer pours … Continue reading Beer Review: Marshmallow Milk Stout – Barney’s Beer
Trying to focus on the Lidl reviews at the moment to give people a chance to buy them before they disappear from the stores! We’ve had a couple of Drygate beers at this point and this one is ‘Tone Burst’ a Rhubarb Berliner Weisse. In accordance to the style, it is a a low 3.2% ABV which might be the lowest so far on the … Continue reading Beer Review: Tone Burst – Drygate Brewing Co.
