Beer Review: Order of the Faith – Northern Monk x Alpha Delta

Returning to the typically awesome Northern Monk for today’s review with a slight difference; it’s a collaboration beer. This beer has been brewed with up and coming North East brewery Alpha Delta and together have created ‘Order of the Faith’. This is a Double Dry Hopped IPA and a twist on Northern Monk’s amazing core pale ale Faith. The beer pours an amazing golden colour … Continue reading Beer Review: Order of the Faith – Northern Monk x Alpha Delta

Beer Review: Crossing the Rubicon – Drygate Brewing Co.

Today’s beer is from Glasgow based Drygate Brewing Company. I have had one of their beers previously, their Disco Forklift Truck Mango IPA, and from what I recall it was quite good. Found this in the supermarket with what I think is some new artwork and branding. This beer is also from their core range and is Crossing the Rubicon IPA coming in at a … Continue reading Beer Review: Crossing the Rubicon – Drygate Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Life & Death – Vocation Brewery

A fresh brewery today in the form of Vocation, an outfit from Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire. I’d heard some really good things about this brewery so picked this up instantly when I saw it the supermarket. This is part of Vocation’s core range and is Life & Death a rather strong 6.5% IPA. Visually the beer has a fantastic golden haze to it. Now the the … Continue reading Beer Review: Life & Death – Vocation Brewery

Beer Review: Pineapple Express – Tiny Rebel x Polly’s Brew Co.

Today’s beer is a Tiny Rebel collaboration with another Welsh brewery; Polly’s Brew Co. I’ve never had a Polly’s beer before but knowing Tiny Rebel I imagined it can only be good. I really like collaborations. It exposes you to new breweries and the beers tend to be really interesting as you get characteristics from both breweries imparted into the idea and importantly the flavour. … Continue reading Beer Review: Pineapple Express – Tiny Rebel x Polly’s Brew Co.

Beer Review: Passion Fruit Pool Party – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Returning to Tiny Rebel once again today, but with a first for the blog. Passion Fruit Pool Party is the first wheat beer I have reviewed and not a style I typically have. My main encounters with wheat beer is in the form of the widely available Blue Moon, which I am partial to every now and then. As such I was quite excited to … Continue reading Beer Review: Passion Fruit Pool Party – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Mango Unchained – ShinDigger Brewing Co.

Taking a quick break from the Tiny Rebel haul to try out another new brewery. Today I’ve got the brilliantly named ‘Mango Unchained’ from Manchester based, ShinDigger Brewing Co. which is a 4.2% ABV session IPA. A quick glance at their website shows they tend to make lower ABV sessionable beer, something I’m a fan of. Mainly because, if it’s a cracking beer you can … Continue reading Beer Review: Mango Unchained – ShinDigger Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Goose IPA – Goose Island Beer Co.

Another IPA today with a new brewery for me in the form of Goose Island Beer Co. They are a Chicago based brewery who, as with many independent breweries, have since been bought out by one of the big players. In this case AB InBev. I feel like the Goose Island brand is one I’ve seen on the shelves for a while but never tried, … Continue reading Beer Review: Goose IPA – Goose Island Beer Co.

Beer Review: Origin – Northern Monk

Returning to the ever reliable Northern Monk today with a beer that will make my Dad very pleased! This is their Origin gluten free IPA. While the availability of gluten free beer is becoming increasingly wider, quality flavorful gluten free options are few and far between. Thankfully, I’ve noticed a trend in breweries having a token gluten free beer and while I’d like them to … Continue reading Beer Review: Origin – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Juicebox – Fourpure Brewing Company

Today sees us returning to Fourpure Brewing Co. and a review I have been very much looking forward to making. Previously, I reviewed Fourpure’s Easy Peeler which was the session version of today’s beer; Juicebox Citrus IPA. I was not the biggest fan of the Easy Peeler and thought it was way to bitter, so was excited to see if the original version would be … Continue reading Beer Review: Juicebox – Fourpure Brewing Company

Beer Review: Hazey Daze – London Beer Factory

Another new brewery today with London Beer Factory! This review is on their flagship beer the Hazey Daze, a 4.6% session IPA. I ended up tasting this with a friend over FaceTime, while watching the footy so was good fun all around (minus the football, that’s always a disappointment). The name suggests a hazy beer and visually that’s exactly what you get! This is a … Continue reading Beer Review: Hazey Daze – London Beer Factory
