Beer Review: Northern Rising – Northern Monk x Timothy Taylors

Just before I left the country, and this blog, for two months I had started work on the Great Supermarket Craft Beer Index. It entails the difficult task of of drinking lots of beer and reviewing it, to make people’s lives easier when it comes to supermarket craft beer decision making. Naturally, since I’ve been away, the supermarkets have broadly updated their range resulting in … Continue reading Beer Review: Northern Rising – Northern Monk x Timothy Taylors

Beer Review: Pale Ale – Cearfisă (Romanian Craft Beer)

Those of you who have kept up with my blog over the years will not be surprised by the large breaks between posting periods that regularly occurs. This time my reason for an almost 4 month hiatus is I was walking the length of Romania from mid August to October with my brother. 1400km to be precise! And while we had a wonderful time not … Continue reading Beer Review: Pale Ale – Cearfisă (Romanian Craft Beer)

Beer Review: Buchito – Jaira Cerveza Artesana

Like much of Spain, the Canary Islands are not particularly known for their craft beer. While you won’t ever find a artisanal beer, as they call craft in Spain, on the taps of your typical bar it appears, in Gran Canaria at least, that you can find local breweries on the supermarket shelves. Today’s review comes from Jaira, a brewery based in the capital of … Continue reading Beer Review: Buchito – Jaira Cerveza Artesana

Beer Review: Tres Mares – DouGall’s

I am currently on the gorgeous island of Gran Canaria, where my Mum is from, for her undisclosed milestone birthday. My Auntie also likes a craft beer or two and has bought me a couple of her recent favourites from her local SPAR supermarket. The two she picked up for are both from DouGall’s brewery, which is a Spanish brewery (or cerveceria if we want … Continue reading Beer Review: Tres Mares – DouGall’s

Beer Review: Cosmic Drop (Berry Punch) – Beavertown

There are worse problems to have than needing to drink more beer. However, I do need to drink some more otherwise I’ve got no reviews to post! Thankfully, I have some brews in the cupboard. One of which is this Cosmic Drop from the “not so craft” Beavertown, who were bought by Heineken a while back now. There are a few different versions of Cosmic … Continue reading Beer Review: Cosmic Drop (Berry Punch) – Beavertown

Beer Review: Tank Petrol V2 (Faith in Futures) – Northern Monk

It’s been a minute since my last review. I haven’t been too busy, quite the opposite actually. If you follow my Instagram, you may have seen me enjoying a beer on the beach in Port De Soller on the gorgeous island of Mallorca. I was there for a friends wedding and decided to leave the laptop at home and due to hating typing on my … Continue reading Beer Review: Tank Petrol V2 (Faith in Futures) – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Peanut Butter & Jam – Northern Monk x Toast

You might (or might not) have seen my post yesterday where I have compiled a list of every single, to my knowledge, craft beer and ale available currently in all the UK supermarkets. You might have also noticed that I haven’t reviewed many of the currently in stock selection. Very poor form, I know. Today’s we are going to make a start on rectifying that, … Continue reading Beer Review: Peanut Butter & Jam – Northern Monk x Toast

Beer Review: LowKey – UnBarred Brewery

This beer is the first alcohol free beer I’ve reviewed since the ‘triumphant’ return of the blog. I typically never buy an alcohol free beer in the pub, they’re overpriced and I would prefer to just have a pint of lime and soda if I’m staying sober. That said, buying them for drinking at home is a fair bit more economical while also scratching the … Continue reading Beer Review: LowKey – UnBarred Brewery

Beer Review: Heart & Soul – Vocation Brewery

West Yorkshire based brewery Vocation have been a staple in the supermarkets for quite a few years now. From Tesco to Waitrose both their specials and their core range have featured on the shelves. Vocation are also another brewery that had a facelift during my beer review hiatus. I can’t believe the brewery wouldn’t personally inform me of such drastic changes! We can discuss that … Continue reading Beer Review: Heart & Soul – Vocation Brewery

Beer Review: Cosmic Fog – Northern Monk x Floc.

It was my birthday last weekend, so I have spent much of the last seven days out and about. Still drinking during that time, of course, just at assorted pubs and bars rather than at home. I did manage to squeeze in one beer, however, which happens to be this one; Cosmic Fog a collaboration between Leeds based Northern Monk and Canterbury situated Floc. Northern … Continue reading Beer Review: Cosmic Fog – Northern Monk x Floc.
