Beer Review: Other World – Utopian Brewing x Yeastie Boys

Today’s review is a collaborative brew between one of my favourite breweries at the moment, Yeastie Boys, and the primarily lager focused Utopian Brewing who are based in Devon! Interestingly, it is Utopian who brew Yeastie Boys’ beers for them here in the UK as they are, of course, a New Zealand based brewery. Instead of a lager, they’ve collaborated on an Extra Special Bitter, … Continue reading Beer Review: Other World – Utopian Brewing x Yeastie Boys

Beer Review: Cryo Pop – Pretty Decent IPA

I am up in gorgeous sunny Scotland this week for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and I thought I’d take some beer with me up north. The first beer on the tour is from my local brewery Pretty Decent and their latest single hop series beer. ‘Cryo Pop’ is the newest hop strain to come out of hop giants Yakima Chief (owners of Mosaic and … Continue reading Beer Review: Cryo Pop – Pretty Decent IPA

Beer Review: 05 || IPA – Amarillo and Citra – Brew By Numbers

Today’s review is another beer that I picked up in Tesco recently. I’ve had a couple of Brew By Numbers beers before but have never done a review on the South East London based brewery’s wares. 05 is the name for their IPA’s and this one has been hopped with the classic, Citra, as well as Amarillo. It’s a rather boozy beer for the supermarket, … Continue reading Beer Review: 05 || IPA – Amarillo and Citra – Brew By Numbers

Beer Review: Dry Hopped Lager – Calvors Brewery

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

Beer Review: Mangoes on with Faith – Northern Monk

Over the last couple months, Northern Monk have released several new beers into both Morrisons and Tesco. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of their beers so naturally I’ve picked them all up. Today’s beer is called ‘Mangoes on with Faith’ and it is a mango pale ale. It’s a twist on the recipe of their core range beer ‘Faith’ which I reviewed many … Continue reading Beer Review: Mangoes on with Faith – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Strata & Mosaic – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

Today I’m returning back to my local brewery with their other latest release. It’s an IPA featuring Mosaic, once again, but with the headlining hop being Strata this time, rather than Sabro. This is one of Pretty Decent Beer Co’s strongest beers of late, coming in at 6.5%. When I spoke to them about this beer the other the day they were very happy with … Continue reading Beer Review: Strata & Mosaic – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

Beer Review: Krankie – Exale Brewing

Today’s beer is a rather wacky sounding one from the folks over at London based brewery Exale. ‘Krankie’, named after the famous Scottish comedy act, is of course an Iron Brew flavoured sour beer. For those that have never heard of Irn-Bru it is the iconic drink from Scotland (just after whisky of course)! It’s a fizzy drink that has an almost indescribable flavour but … Continue reading Beer Review: Krankie – Exale Brewing

Beer Review: Milkshake IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

Following up from their Single Hop Series my local brewery Pretty Decent are looking to get a little funkier with some of their upcoming brews. Their latest offering is a Milkshake IPA with heavy amounts of pineapple and passion fruit added in. I’ve never had a milkshake IPA before but I have had plenty of beers that have added lactose. The distinction is the combination … Continue reading Beer Review: Milkshake IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

Beer Review: Petite Saison – Burning Sky

I’m firing on all cylinders at the moment when it comes to trying new breweries! Today’s beer is from South Downs based Burning Sky with a beer from, their core range: ‘Petite Saison’. I have very little experience with the saison style but I understand they often have that sort of farmhouse sourness to them while having a bit of spice and high carbonation levels. … Continue reading Beer Review: Petite Saison – Burning Sky
