It was my birthday last weekend, so I have spent much of the last seven days out and about. Still drinking during that time, of course, just at assorted pubs and bars rather than at home. I did manage to squeeze in one beer, however, which happens to be this one; Cosmic Fog a collaboration between Leeds based Northern Monk and Canterbury situated Floc. Northern … Continue reading Beer Review: Cosmic Fog – Northern Monk x Floc.
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)
While in Japan my girlfriend and I (along with both her parents and my parents) took a day trip the seaside town of Kamakura, just outside of Tokyo. We did a little hike which ended at a temple famous for it’s particularly large Buddha statue. Any temple of repute, of course, has it’s own gift shop selling all manner of thing but most importantly selling … Continue reading Beer Review: Kamakura Moon – Kamakura Beer
Well well well! It has certainly been awhile since I last posted a beer review on here. I’ve got a whole host of reasons (excuses really!) of why there haven’t been any reviews. None of those excuses include any bouts of sobriety, so realistically there should have been a steady stream of reviews rolling through. Anywho, I’m back from a month away in Japan (and … Continue reading Beer Review: Koshihikari Echigo Beer – Echigo Beer 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
Today’s beer review sees us return to something I’ve not done in a while. Well two things actually: a low alcohol beer and a beer from Thornbridge! Always a bit apprehensive picking up AF beers not because I have an inherent dislike to them but more because they often aren’t that great. This is ‘Zero Five’, a low alcohol pale ale named as such because … Continue reading Beer Review: Zero Five -Thornbridge Brewery
It’s been a while since a beer review and they’ve been a bit sporadic this week as a result of me being on holiday. Can’t have everything revolving around beer now can we (although I did pick pick up a couple of brews while I was in the Peak District)! Today’s beer is from acclaimed brewers Neon Raptor based out of Nottingham. Another pick up … Continue reading Beer Review: All Signs Point To Fort Lauderdale – Neon Raptor Brewing Co.
We’ve gone for a double bill today with another Siren Craft Brew beer. This time around we’ve got one of their core beers Soundwave IPA. Classic IPA visual on the beer, pouring a nice slightly hazy, straw colour and produced a nice white head. Soundwave has a an incredible nose to it. You really get mango and pineapple chunks coming from it giving off a … Continue reading Beer Review: Soundwave – Siren Craft Brew
Heading back into my much loved sour beer territory today with Siren Craft Brew and their Grapefruit Sour IPA, Pompelmocello (if that isn’t a mouthful of a name I don’t know what is)! Siren is a brewery with which I have a decent bit of experience with. At the pub I work at we regularly get their beers for our cask lines and they are … Continue reading Beer Review: Pompelmocello – Siren Craft Brew
