Happy New Year folks! Thank you to everyone who has read a post of mine over the last year. It’s been incredibly fun to do and has helped get me through some of these lockdown woes. To ring in 2021 I’ve got a special first post of the year: A Tale of Three Tinnies! A few months back there was some social media banter going … Continue reading Beer Review: ALD IPA // Punk IPA // Anti Establishment – BrewDog & Aldi
My one and only 10/10 beer was from Cornish brewers Verdant. Their Reading Colour IPA was absolutely stunning, so when the opportunity came around to pick up another of their beers, I didn’t hesitate. This is ’20 Watt Moon’ another IPA at 6.5% ABV. While I’m certainly not expecting perfection they’ve definitely set the bar high on the first try so I’d be lying if … Continue reading Beer Review: 20 Watt Moon – Verdant Brewing Co.
IT’S CHRISTMAS!!! Technically when this is being written is not Christmas as even amateur beer reviewers deserve to have crimbo off but the sentiment is still there and I hope everyone is having the best Christmas available to them considering the ‘unique’ situation many areas find themselves in. Naturally today’s beer has got to be Christmas themed and I’ve gone for craft beer heavyweights BrewDog. … Continue reading Beer Review: Hoppy Xmas – BrewDog
To accompany my Pub Spotlight today I’ve also got a review! I recently signed up to online bottle shop ‘Premier Hop’ and their unique Instagram subscription service. A whole load of beers arrived and the first I’m going for is a collaboration between Cheltenham based DEYA and Premier Hop themselves to celebrate the bottle shop’s second birthday! I’ve heard incredible things about DEYA so I … Continue reading Beer Review: Shades On – Deya x Premier Hop
Trying to clear the beer review backlog today in time for Christmas as I recently bought a lot of craft beer online while a tad tipsy. Like going to the supermarket when your hungry, it’s never a good combination! So we’ve got a review double bill today and our second is from Siren Craft Brew. I really like Siren and it’s been far too long … Continue reading Beer Review: Lumina – Siren Craft Brew
A new brewery for today’s review on recommendation from one of my local delis/bottle shops: Arch Rivals. Wylam Brewery is actually based out of Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park, Newcastle. I’m a bit of a fan of weird beer names and this one might take the title for me so far. ‘Greyhounds Don’t Like Jazz’ is Sour IPA at 7.1% ABV that is apparently … Continue reading Beer Review: Greyhounds Don’t Like Jazz – Wylam Brewery
As we get ridiculously closer to Christmas I’ve chosen a more festive brew for today’s review. ‘Advent Ale’ is from Hogs Back Brewery who are based out of Surrey. You might recognise them from their logo or their popular, widely available beer T.E.A. At 4.4% ABV this Ruby Ale is hoping to inspire some festive flavours and I’m looking forward to my first Hogs Back … Continue reading Beer Review: Advent Ale – Hogs Back Brewery
I suppose I’m going to have to start drinking earlier in the day to get these snaps, it was only quarter past 4 when I took this and it was already pitch black! With the unfortunate news of London heading into Tier 4 I guess I’ll have some more free time again. Anyways, today’s review is on a core range beer from acclaimed Leeds brewers … Continue reading Beer Review: Northern Star – Northern Monk
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
Been having a lot of gluten free beers lately so be prepared for a slightly GF focus in the near future. However, for now, I’ve still got a few Lidl beers kicking around including today’s beer ‘Tarocco’s Modern Life’ by 71 Brewing. A brilliant pun between the 90s kid show Rocco’s Modern Life and a variety of blood orange this is a sour IPA at … Continue reading Beer Review: Tarocco’s Modern Life – 71 Brewing
