It’s been a minute since my last review. I haven’t been too busy, quite the opposite actually. If you follow my Instagram, you may have seen me enjoying a beer on the beach in Port De Soller on the gorgeous island of Mallorca. I was there for a friends wedding and decided to leave the laptop at home and due to hating typing on my … Continue reading Beer Review: Tank Petrol V2 (Faith in Futures) – Northern Monk

Almost every supermarket in the UK has a craft beer (and real ale) offering these days. From Aldi to Asda the selection is varied and often seasonally changing. Many of my most popular beer reviews are of beers you can readily find in your Big Tesco or local Lidl. Which makes sense to me! Not everyone goes into a craft bottle shop, but every has … Continue reading The Great Supermarket Craft Beer Index
Many moons ago I wrote about more than just beer reviews on this blog. At one point the occasional taproom or pub highlight would rear it’s semi-informative head onto the front page. About three years on from the last entry, we are back! My Dad, who is of the gluten intolerant persuasion, has always wanted to visit Westerham Brewery, who are based in Kent. They … Continue reading Drinks with my Dad: Westerham Brewery, Kent
This beer is the first alcohol free beer I’ve reviewed since the ‘triumphant’ return of the blog. I typically never buy an alcohol free beer in the pub, they’re overpriced and I would prefer to just have a pint of lime and soda if I’m staying sober. That said, buying them for drinking at home is a fair bit more economical while also scratching the … Continue reading Beer Review: LowKey – UnBarred Brewery
When I see a weird sounding beer, I feel compelled to buy it. There is always going to be another IPA around the corner, but when will I get the chance to buy a Chorizo and Cheese Stout again? Okay, that one I’ve made up. However, this Garlic Beer I found in a shop at Borough Market is most definitely real! It’s brewed by Yates’ … Continue reading Beer Review: Garlic Beer – Yates’ Brewery
It was my birthday not too long ago and my lovely Uncle Trev couldn’t make the party. Our paths crossed in our local (as expected) and he mentioned that my present had arrived and was behind the bar. Visibly worried about the gift, he said “I’m not sure if you’ll like, but but hopefully you do”. I replied “Is it booze?”, which he confirmed was … Continue reading Beer Review: Old Henry – Hobsons Brewery
West Yorkshire based brewery Vocation have been a staple in the supermarkets for quite a few years now. From Tesco to Waitrose both their specials and their core range have featured on the shelves. Vocation are also another brewery that had a facelift during my beer review hiatus. I can’t believe the brewery wouldn’t personally inform me of such drastic changes! We can discuss that … Continue reading Beer Review: Heart & Soul – Vocation Brewery
My girlfriend and I were on a lovely walk last week from Hackney Marshes to Victoria Park when we walked past what looked like the world fanciest SPAR shop of all time. Naturally, we popped in and spent a few minutes gawking at the variety of overpriced organic produce they had, before heading to the booze aisle. A very respectable range of craft beer from … Continue reading Beer Review: Why Do You Always Do This – Pressure Drop
After, quite literally, years of rumours about a Lidl opening up on my local high street, the door to the nations best (in my opinion) supermarket swung open just before Christmas. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately on the wallet without a middle aisle. I know, I didn’t know a Lidl could exist without one either! There is, however, a small beer section and so I thought … Continue reading Beer Review: Shark Bay – Hatherwood (Lidl)
I’ve actually recently changed jobs but during the last couple of months at my previous site I was stocking quite a few beers from Battersea based Mondo Brewing Company. As a result I got the occasional special thrown my way, one of which is the beer up for review today. ‘Verhext’ is a West Coast IPA brewed with that ever popular Kveik yeast strain. Coming … Continue reading Beer Review: Verhext – Mondo x St Austell
