My local bottle shop owners had just got this beer in last week and successfully convinced me to give it a try. Based on the two breweries involved I was fairly confident it would be great. ‘Up Late’ is a collaboration between Bristol based Left Handed Giant and the particularly brilliant Falmouth based Verdant. It’s a big 10% imperial stout with hazelnut and vanilla. This … Continue reading Beer Review: Up Late – Left Handed Giant x Verdant
Memes have become increasingly more widespread over the years and have now reached a point where beers are named after them. Titled after the Steve Buscemi 30 Rock meme ‘How Do You Do Fellow Kids’ this is an 8% Double IPA from S43 Brewery. This is my first beer from the County Durham based outfit but I’ve heard good things. Honestly, I did pick this … Continue reading Beer Review: How Do You Do Fellow Kids – S43 Brewery
It has been a while since I’ve reviewed an own brand brew and I’ve decided to go with ALDI once more. This is from 10-4 Brewing one of a couple craft beer facades that they use. According to Untapped it appears to have been contract brewed with Hog’s Back whose Christmas beer I reviewed last year. It’s a Brut IPA so the expectation is for … Continue reading Beer Review: Brut IPA – 10-4 Brewing (Aldi)
Today’s beer is one of my local breweries newest offerings! Apparently they have a lot of new beers in the pipeline for the next couple months so expect to see plenty of reviews on those brews. Fitting the Pretty Decent naming format the beer is simply named after the style of beer: East Coast IPA. It comes in at 6.5% ABV and is meant to … Continue reading Beer Review: East Coast IPA – Pretty Decent Beer 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.
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
Today’s review is a slightly different one as I have actually been sent the beer by the brewery to review! Wainwright contacted me over on my Instagram and gifted me a few of the vegan and gluten free edition of their classic golden ale. Part of the Marston’s family of beer, the original has won a Silver Award at the World Beer Awards in 2019. … Continue reading Beer Review: Wainwright (Vegan & Gluten Free) – Marston’s
My first ever low alcohol stout today from a brewery that specialises in creating Non/Low Alcoholic brews. Big Drop are based up in Ipswich and have been brewing since 2015. I grabbed this from my local bottle shop Arch Rivals on recommendation that it’s very close to coming across like an actual beer. ‘Galactic Milk Stout’ is a Silver winner at the World Beer Awards … Continue reading Beer Review: Galactic Milk Stout – Big Drop Brewing Co.
A gluten free dark beer today from a new brewery! Yorkshire based Wold Top do a few gluten free beers in their line up including this 5% Marmalade Porter. This brew has actually won quite a few awards including the country winner at the 2017 World Beer Awards and a third place in the World Gluten Free Awards 2018. So with that in mind the … Continue reading Beer Review: Marmalade Porter – Wold Top Brwery
Today’s beer is another that I grabbed from Premier Hop. The only other Alpha Delta beer I’ve had was technically a Northern Monk collaboration. However, it was absolutely delicious and I’ve been on the hunt to get an Alpha Delta beer from the source itself! ‘Gelos’ is actually a collaboration as well but brewed by Alpha Delta in partnership with a new brewery for me … Continue reading Beer Review: Gelos – Alpha Delta x Drop Project
