Beer Review: Marmalade Porter – Wold Top Brwery

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

Beer Review: Gelos – Alpha Delta x Drop Project

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

Beer Review: North Bridge – Thornbridge x North Brew Co.

A beer I’ve had for a little while now that I picked up in Tesco. A collaboration between Thornbridge and North Brew Co this beer is conveniently named ‘North Bridge’. This brew is a new style for me and perhaps a newer style for the wider world of beer in the form of a Mountain IPA. Supposedly a cross between the bitterness of a West … Continue reading Beer Review: North Bridge – Thornbridge x North Brew Co.

Beer Review: YES – First Chop

My search for quality alcohol free craft beer for an ever so slightly drier January than usual continues with today’s beer. ‘YES’ from First Chop is vegan, gluten free and 0.5% ABV which on paper does sound like the most boring combo for a beer. However, it’s always good to have an open mind when it comes to beer as anything can surprise you. A … Continue reading Beer Review: YES – First Chop

Beer Review: Hygge Figgy – Brass Castle Brewery

It’s a new brewery for today’s Stout Sunday and a gluten free one at that. While there are an ever increasing number of gluten free beers available the majority end up being lagers or IPAs. So when my Dad finds an online store selling a variety of GF stouts and porters for the winter he couldn’t be happier. Bought from Taylor’s Gluten Free Beer Network … Continue reading Beer Review: Hygge Figgy – Brass Castle Brewery

Beer Review: Odissi – Bang the Elephant

Been dipping into some of my ‘fancier’ beers the last couple of days and this is another one from the folks at Premier Hop. A new brewery again today in the form of Bang the Elephant from Langley Mill near Nottingham. I know you should never judge a book by the cover but I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t pick it up … Continue reading Beer Review: Odissi – Bang the Elephant

Beer Review: DDH Hooked on Citra – Cloudwater Brew Co.

Today’s review is from my Premier Hop Subscription order I made just before Christmas. Cloudwater Brew Co is a brewery I’ve seen have a lot of praise heaped on them for making fantastic beers. Based up in Manchester I decided on ‘DDH Hooked on Citra’ as my first taste. Naturally this beer is a Double Dry Hopped IPA with focus on the Citra hop. It … Continue reading Beer Review: DDH Hooked on Citra – Cloudwater Brew Co.

Beer Review: Without (Gold) – St Peter’s Brewery

With the current situation I don’t think I’d honestly be able to keep Dry January going! However, I’ve thought I’d try and cut back a little this month. I picked up a selection of alcohol free beers from my last trip to Morrisons to give them a go and see if there are any readily available low or no alcohol beers that also taste good. … Continue reading Beer Review: Without (Gold) – St Peter’s Brewery

Beer Review: Forbidden Fruit – Stewart Brewing

I have so many beers in the fridge at the moment it’s hard to keep track! This is one I’ve had for a little bit now that I picked up at Lidl a couple months back. Stewart Brewing is based in Scotland and I’ve had a couple of their brews in the past. This is ‘Forbidden Fruit’ a Grapefruit Pale Ale at a fairly sessionable … Continue reading Beer Review: Forbidden Fruit – Stewart Brewing

Beer Review: IKEA Öl Mörk Lager – Krönleins Bryggeri

My lovely friend at work Catherine generously gave me this beer to see what I thought about it. This beer has been brewed especially for IKEA stores by Krönleins Bryggeri who are a macro brewery, unsurprisingly, based in Sweden. This is a dark lager style beer which I’ve potentially had once before. I was a big fan of it then as it provides a really … Continue reading Beer Review: IKEA Öl Mörk Lager – Krönleins Bryggeri
