Beer Review: Hop, Skip & Juice – Vocation x Marble Brewery

It’s been a while since I had Vocation’s ‘Life & Death’, a fantastically tasty IPA and one of the best available in the supermarkets. Today’s beer is from Tesco’s new range is a collaboration between Yorkshire based Vocation and Marble Brewery in Manchester. ‘Hop, Skip & Juice’, aside from having a great name, is a 5.7% ABV Hazy Pale Ale. The beer pours a lovely, … Continue reading Beer Review: Hop, Skip & Juice – Vocation x Marble Brewery

Beer Review: Dalston Sunrise – 40ft Brewery

Another lovely little gift from a friend at work this is another not to distant brewery based out of Dalston, in London in the form of 40FT Brewery. Named after the fact that when they started, they began brewing out of two 20ft shipping containers, this is a can of ‘Dalston Sunrise’ part of their core range. It’s a Hazy Pale Ale at 4.4% ABV … Continue reading Beer Review: Dalston Sunrise – 40ft Brewery

Beer Review: Cebula – Peak Ales

I was in the Peak District very recently with one of my dear friends and while I tried to put beer on the back burner I couldn’t help but pick up a couple from local brewers Peak Ales. The first beer is their classic Golden Ale but this review today is something a little funkier. ‘Cebula’ is part of the breweries experimental ‘Off Peak’ series … Continue reading Beer Review: Cebula – Peak Ales

Beer Review: Zero Five -Thornbridge Brewery

Today’s beer review sees us return to something I’ve not done in a while. Well two things actually: a low alcohol beer and a beer from Thornbridge! Always a bit apprehensive picking up AF beers not because I have an inherent dislike to them but more because they often aren’t that great. This is ‘Zero Five’, a low alcohol pale ale named as such because … Continue reading Beer Review: Zero Five -Thornbridge Brewery

Beer Review: Talking Head – Williams Bros. Brewing Co.

Back with another Scottish craft brew that I picked up from Lidl. This is ‘Talking Head’ (hopefully named after the band) from Williams Bros. Brewing Co. it is a classic American Pale Ale at 4.4% ABV. Interestingly this beer is in an uncharacteristically large 500ml can where most beers come in the 440ml or 330ml variety. So if it’s good it’s more bang for your … Continue reading Beer Review: Talking Head – Williams Bros. Brewing Co.

Beer Review: 21 Pale – Black Isle Brewery

The penultimate of the Black Isle Brewery core range left to review. Working in a pub ironically leaves less time for beer so will be another quick one today from the back log. This is 21 Pale a (unsurprisingly) pale ale that was brewed to celebrate Black Isles 21st birthday. As with all their beers it comes in at a light 4.1% ABV. The beer … Continue reading Beer Review: 21 Pale – Black Isle Brewery

Beer Review: Nutjob – Boss Brewing

Another new brewery featured in the Lidl beer festival, however, not from Scotland but from Swansea in Wales. This is Boss Brewing and their Peanut Butter Pale ‘Nutjob’. Very interesting concept I think as the typical beer style to carry peanut flavours is often the stout, so to see it in a pale ale could go either way in my eyes. Boss Brewing also has … Continue reading Beer Review: Nutjob – Boss Brewing

Beer Review: Wimbledon Pale – Wimbledon Brewery

Today’s review sees us return to a brewery I haven’t had a beer from in a long while. The last Wimbledon Brewery beer I reviewed was their flagship lager. This time around it’s their pale ale, appropriately titled Wimbledon Pale. I thought their lager was nice but nothing really exceptional, which is the vibe I headed into this beer with. Visually we have a clear … Continue reading Beer Review: Wimbledon Pale – Wimbledon Brewery

Beer Review: Money Trees – Tiny Rebel Brew Co.

Back today with what may be the third to last review of a Tiny Rebel beer, for a while at least. It’s probably time to expand the beer horizons a bit. Certainly never spoiled for choice. So, this one is ‘Money Trees’ a Citra, Mosiac Vienna Pale. As evident by the description the two hops packed into this one are Citra and Mosaic. Style wise … Continue reading Beer Review: Money Trees – Tiny Rebel Brew Co.
