Today’s review is a brewery back to back, with another beer from Gran Canarian based brewers Jaira. ‘Seaclouds’ is a Vienna style lager, and so typically features a darker colour, when compared to your more commonplace lager styles, while also having a slight maltier sweetness to it and often a toasted quality to the flavour too. The name ‘Seaclouds’ has been given to the beer … Continue reading Beer Review: Seaclouds – Jaira Cerveza Artesana
Every once in a while a beer comes along that instantaneously grabs your attention. It isn’t from a flash, hyped up brewery and it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg either. Much like my, oddly popular, review of Duff beer, it can be found gracing the hallowed halls of a supermarket. This beer, however, was not purchased due to a novelty connection with … Continue reading Beer Review: Cerveza – HiperDino
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.
Lidl supermarkets have added a new brewery to their craft beer repertoire in the form of Oldham based Donkeystone Brewing Co. A new brewery for me I picked up a couple of their offerings to give them a whirl. First up is ‘Cotton Clouds’ a craft lager at 4% ABV. Perhaps one of the hardest styles to blow someone away with it is also serves … Continue reading Beer Review: Cotton Clouds – Donkeystone Brewing Co.
I’ve been trying quite a few lagers recently which is quite unlike me, as typically I only have lager in the form of a certain Danish pilsner. Maybe I’ve got the Oktoberfest bug which has resulted in tasting the more interesting side of arguably one of the less interesting beers styles. ‘Vienna Lager’ is a beer from Wild Craft Brewery and is brewed with the … Continue reading Beer Review: Vienna Lager – Wild Craft Brewing
Hogs Back Brewery have collaborated with chocolatier Montezuma’s to create a lager brewed with the cacao nibs used in their ‘Lordy Lord’ dark chocolate. When I first read the description my first thought was ‘there is no way that works’. However, it sounded so weird I simply had to give it a go. It has actually gone on to win a gold award at the … Continue reading Beer Review: Montezuma’s Chocolate Lager – Hogs Back Brewery
The month of October, in the beer world, is best associated with the biggest beer festival in the world. Oktoberfest! To celebrate I’m setting myself the challenge to post a review everyday for the duration of the month. And to kick it off I am of course going for an Oktoberfest themed beer called ‘Oktoberwest’. Brewed by Westerham brewery in Kent it is a Marzen … Continue reading Beer Reviews: Oktoberwest – Westerham Brewery
I was wandering around Lidl doing the weekly shop recently when out of the corner of my eye I spot something nostalgic. Something very nostalgic indeed. I was instantly drawn to the holy grail of cartoon beer much like how Homer Simpson is. Duff Beer! I would say I was shocked to see such a thing in Lidl, but realistically we’ve all seen far more … Continue reading Beer Review: Duff Beer – Fizz Beverage
While I was up in Scotland, I naturally raided their Lidl’s to see what Scottish beers they had in stock. One of the most commonly occurring breweries was Glasgow based Drygate Brewing Co. I’ve not had one of their beers for a little while so I picked up the lot that were available. ‘Rancho Rosa’ sounded like the weirdest of the bunch. It’s a raspberry … Continue reading Beer Review: Rancho Rosa – Drygate Brewing Co.
Continuing with the lagers today, considering the weather is holding up nicely for us at the moment! I picked this up from the range that’s still available in Lidl right now. Although the last time I was there shopping it looked like their stocks of craft beer are diminishing so get your hand on the good stuff as soon as possible. This beer is from … Continue reading Beer Review: Dry Hopped Lager – Calvors Brewery
