IT’S CHRISTMAS!!! Technically when this is being written is not Christmas as even amateur beer reviewers deserve to have crimbo off but the sentiment is still there and I hope everyone is having the best Christmas available to them considering the ‘unique’ situation many areas find themselves in. Naturally today’s beer has got to be Christmas themed and I’ve gone for craft beer heavyweights BrewDog. … Continue reading Beer Review: Hoppy Xmas – BrewDog
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
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.
Another of the beers that my Dad picked up from Ghostfish Brewing Company via Taylor’s Gluten Free Beer Network (link down below). This is ‘Kick Step’ an IPA brewed in celebration of Washington State hops, where the brewery is based. So this is hopefully going to be a classic West Coast style beer and a little change from the New England IPA heavy reviews I’ve … Continue reading Beer Review: Kick Step – Ghostfish Brewing Company
Been having a lot of gluten free beers lately so be prepared for a slightly GF focus in the near future. However, for now, I’ve still got a few Lidl beers kicking around including today’s beer ‘Tarocco’s Modern Life’ by 71 Brewing. A brilliant pun between the 90s kid show Rocco’s Modern Life and a variety of blood orange this is a sour IPA at … Continue reading Beer Review: Tarocco’s Modern Life – 71 Brewing
As I mentioned in my previous North Brew Co review, Tesco have a few of their beers in at the moment. Today’s beer is called ‘Lost Cosmonaut’. It’s a double dry hopped IPA at 6.0% ABV. The North beers I’ve had so far have been solid and certainly tasty but not incredibly stand out. Here’s to hoping a bit of dry hopping will change that … Continue reading Beer Review: Lost Cosmonauts – North Brewing Co.
It’s been a while since I reviewed one of Lidl’s own brand beers. It was ‘Plunged Orange’ last time which is, funnily enough, the most popular review on my blog. A comment on my Instagram of that review (@lorenzobeerreviews if you want to check it out) told me to try this as it was supposedly better. ‘Twisted Knots’ is an American IPA by Hatherwood Craft … Continue reading Beer Review: Twisted Knots – Hatherwood Craft Beer Company (Lidl)
