Beer Review: Fake Empire – BrewDog

Another beer from the new range available at Morrisons! Craft beer heavyweights BrewDog have dropped a couple of new brews into both Morrisons and Tesco stores which look like they could be exciting. It’s been a little while since I’ve reviewed a BrewDog beer and all the ones I have reviewed have been a part of a their collaborative series. So I’ve gone for what … Continue reading Beer Review: Fake Empire – BrewDog

Beer Review: Transient – Northern Monk

Morrisons have a massive new craft beer range out at the moment! At my local store I could only pick up the BrewDog and Northern Monk brews (worse problems to have I know!) but hopefully they’ll do some rotation and the other fantastic looking beers will start creeping in. There’s been a slight price bump in the beers from £3 to £3.50/£4 a can. It … Continue reading Beer Review: Transient – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Spider Monkey – Black Isle Brewery

This is it! The very last of the Black Isle Brewery core range beers that I bought off of Flavourly a little while ago. This is their unfiltered IPA ‘Spider Monkey’ that’s also the strongest of the bunch at 5.2% ABV. These beers have been cracking fridge fillers over the last couple of months. While the quality has varied between each one, they have been … Continue reading Beer Review: Spider Monkey – Black Isle Brewery

Beer Review: Rapscallion – Northern Monk

It’s been a long while since I last had a Northern Monk beer. Some might argue too long. Thankfully there is an incredible new beer range landing in Morrison’s very soon including a couple of gorgeous sounding Northern Monk brews. In the meantime this is a Morrison’s staple ‘Rapscallion’ a 5.7% ABV Orange Zest IPA. The beer pours a straw gold colour with a big … Continue reading Beer Review: Rapscallion – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Great White – Loch Lomond Brewery

We return with another from Lidl’s past craft beer festival with another from Loch Lomond Brewery who gave us the absolutely lovely ‘Lost in Mosaic’. This time around we’ve got ‘Great White’ which is a White IPA. I’ve not had this style of beer before so definitely excited. Apparently it is best described as a cross between your classic American IPA and a wheat beer. … Continue reading Beer Review: Great White – Loch Lomond Brewery

Beer Review: Hemisphere – Fourpure Brewing 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.

Beer Review: Lantern – Fourpure Brewing Co.

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.

Beer Review: Lost in Mosiac – Loch Lomond Brewery

It’s an exciting time in the craft beer world as it is Lidl’s Scottish Craft Beer Festival! By the time I get through reviewing and uploading them all I imagine it will be over so if you are feeling adventurous get down to one as soon as possible. Thankfully taking a risk on these beers wont break the bank as even the large 440ml cans … Continue reading Beer Review: Lost in Mosiac – Loch Lomond Brewery

Beer Review: Pineapple Milkshake – Black Sheep

A new brewery for the reviews but not a new brewery for me personally. Today’s beer is from Black Sheep, a North Yorkshire based outfit, from whom I have had their Milk Stout. Another interesting beer style today in the form of a Milkshake IPA! I’ve seen and heard a bit about the style but never had the chance to try one until now. They … Continue reading Beer Review: Pineapple Milkshake – Black Sheep
