Beer Review: Low Profile – The Hop Foundry (Aldi)

I’m running unfortunately low on No/Low Alcoholic craft beer at the moment but I’m still determined to test out what is available. As such today I’ve gone for an own brand low alcohol brew. From The Hop Foundry (a.k.a another of ALDI’s plethora of craft beer brands) this is ‘Low Profile’ a 0.5% ABV IPA. The beer pours a clear gold with a very quickly … Continue reading Beer Review: Low Profile – The Hop Foundry (Aldi)

Beer Review: White Soul – Bang the Elephant

It’s Stout Sunday once again and I’ve got something rather interesting for today’s review. ‘White Soul’ is from Bang the Elephant Brewing Co and what makes it interesting is the style: a white stout. From what I’ve read the key difference is that malts aren’t roasted so the dark colours haven’t been imparted onto the beer. The goal seems to be to match those coffee … Continue reading Beer Review: White Soul – Bang the Elephant

Beer Review: Simcoe IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

I thought I’d make the most of the snowy weather to get some cool beer photos! The first beer to brave the cold was from my local brewery Pretty Decent. True to their word they have in fact released another beer this week. It’s part of a new Single Hop Series they’ve cooked up. Their first highlighted hop is Simcoe in an IPA style. It … Continue reading Beer Review: Simcoe IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

Beer Review: Up Late – Left Handed Giant x Verdant

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

Beer Review: How Do You Do Fellow Kids – S43 Brewery

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

Beer Review: Brut IPA – 10-4 Brewing (Aldi)

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)

Beer Review: East Coast IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.

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.

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: Wainwright (Vegan & Gluten Free) – Marston’s

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
