Beer Review: The Daily Mash 2020 Souvenir Edition – Northern Monk x The Daily Mash

A very unique beer today in the form of a collaboration. Rather than it being a collaborative beer between two breweries this commemorative brew is between one of my favourite brewers Northern Monk and the satirical online news page The Daily Mash. To commemorate (or perhaps commiserate) the year that was 2020 they brewed a 5% ABV pale ale with some of the best headlines … Continue reading Beer Review: The Daily Mash 2020 Souvenir Edition – Northern Monk x The Daily Mash

Beer Review: Ghost Ship (AF) – Adnams

West Ham United had a massive win against Tottenham yesterday afternoon and I did the peculiar thing of celebrating with an Alcohol Free beer. Crazy I know, as after my last AF beer the risk was high of it putting a dampener on my sky high mood. My tipple of choice was the 0.5% version of Adnams’ famous ‘Ghost Ship’ Citrus Pale Ale. They’ve been … Continue reading Beer Review: Ghost Ship (AF) – Adnams

Beer Review: Pine Trail – Big Drop Brewing Co.

Dry January may be over but I’m a little hooked on trying to find some stand out alcohol free beers that can hold their own against their boozy counterparts. After the very successful tasting of Big Drops milk stout last week I thought I’d give them another go. ‘Pine Trail’ is a pale ale and a silver medalist at the World Beer Awards. As with … Continue reading Beer Review: Pine Trail – Big Drop Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Steady Rolling Man – DEYA Brewing Company

Today’s beer comes from DEYA who are considered one of the UK’s best craft brewers. From what I’ve seen regarding ‘Steady Rolling Man’ it is accepted as one of the quintessential examples of a pale ale. So when the opportunity came to pick it up from Premier Hop I felt obligated to! It comes in at a steady 5.2% ABV in an uncharacteristically large, 500ml … Continue reading Beer Review: Steady Rolling Man – DEYA Brewing Company

Beer Review: Forbidden Fruit – Stewart Brewing

I have so many beers in the fridge at the moment it’s hard to keep track! This is one I’ve had for a little bit now that I picked up at Lidl a couple months back. Stewart Brewing is based in Scotland and I’ve had a couple of their brews in the past. This is ‘Forbidden Fruit’ a Grapefruit Pale Ale at a fairly sessionable … Continue reading Beer Review: Forbidden Fruit – Stewart Brewing

Beer Review: Satzuma – Thornbridge Brewery

Been a fan of Thornbridge for a little bit now and of all their core range beers, this is the one I was most looking forward to trying. ‘Satzuma’ is, naturally, a satsuma pale ale but importantly also gluten free. It’s one of the beers from my Dad’s advent calendar but he asked if I wanted to grab a quick snap and a little sip … Continue reading Beer Review: Satzuma – Thornbridge Brewery

Beer Review: Tropic Like It’s Hop – Innis & Gunn

Hectic work schedule has meant less time for beer reviews, so I squeeze them in when I can! Today’s review is a throwback to a brewery I haven’t had since I first started the blog. Scottish brewers Innis & Gunn’s ‘Blood Red Sky’ was amazing so I have high hopes for ‘Tropic Like It’s Hop’, their passion fruit pale ale. I picked this up from … Continue reading Beer Review: Tropic Like It’s Hop – Innis & Gunn

Beer Review: Southern Summit – Loch Lomond Brewery

After a trip across the pond with yesterday’s review, we return to some of the Lidl range. Sadly it’s my last Loch Lomond brewery beer. They’ve been some of the most consistently quality beers I’ve had the pleasure of trying since setting up the blog. This is their ‘Southern Summit’ an American Pale Ale at a sessionable 4% ABV. And, as always with Lidl beers, … Continue reading Beer Review: Southern Summit – Loch Lomond Brewery

Beer Review: Murk-Life Balance – Magic Rock Brewing

Sadly winter is coming thick and fast and the number of indoor photos is only going up! Magic Rock have a couple of new brews in the latest Tesco release. Today’s beer is the brilliantly named ‘Murk-Life Balance’ and as you’d expect it is a hazy pale ale. It comes in at 5% ABV. Although the image doesn’t do it justice, the beer pours a … Continue reading Beer Review: Murk-Life Balance – Magic Rock Brewing
