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
Where as Lidl seem to only have the Hatherwood Craft Beer Co. for their own range of contract brew beer, Aldi appears to have a couple. Today’s beer is from The Buckthorn Brewery, although it is just another own brand and has been brewed especially for Aldi stores. That said there’s nothing wrong with the own brand brews and they are often effective and a … Continue reading Beer Review: Stateside IPA – The Buckthorn Brewery (Aldi)
Pretty Decent Beer Co. are my local brewery and they make cracking beer, which is why I stuck them in my Instagram giveaway! When I went to pick up my choice of prizes I saw they’d also released a new beer. A Double IPA brewed over Lockdown 2 and apparently the first in a series of winter DIPAs from the guys under the arches. According … Continue reading Beer Review: Double IPA – Pretty Decent Beer Co.
Been a fan of Thornbridge for a little bit now and of all their core range beers, this is the one I was most looking forward to trying. ‘Satzuma’ is, naturally, a satsuma pale ale but importantly also gluten free. It’s one of the beers from my Dad’s advent calendar but he asked if I wanted to grab a quick snap and a little sip … Continue reading Beer Review: Satzuma – Thornbridge Brewery
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
Today’s beer is from Manchester gluten free beer OGs First Chop. This beer is actually from an Christmas present I got my Dad. I gifted him a gluten free beer advent calendar with explicit mention that I was not planning on reviewing any. Instead he generously has given me a taste of this one to do a write up. ‘JAM’ is a mango pale ale … Continue reading Beer Review: JAM – First Chop
Another of the beers that my Dad picked up from Ghostfish Brewing Company via Taylor’s Gluten Free Beer Network (link down below). This is ‘Kick Step’ an IPA brewed in celebration of Washington State hops, where the brewery is based. So this is hopefully going to be a classic West Coast style beer and a little change from the New England IPA heavy reviews I’ve … Continue reading Beer Review: Kick Step – Ghostfish Brewing Company
Been a couple of days since my last review. The pubs are opening back up in London today so I’ve been slightly swamped at work. Today’s review is going to be from the fantastically consistent Leeds based Northern Monk. ‘Scafell’ is a NEIPA and a twist on one of their core beers ‘Striding Edge’ (which I am yet to try). Apparently a slight issue arose … Continue reading Beer Review: Scafell – Northen Monk
The old man really enjoyed Bellfield Brewery’s ‘Lawless Village IPA’ so when he saw they had an offer for a mixed case of their gluten free beers he did not hesitate. Perhaps the most anticipated brew of the bunch was ‘Daft Days’ a 5.5% ABV porter. Dark beers seem to be in short supply in the gluten free beer sector and despite all his attempts … Continue reading Beer Review: Daft Days – Bellfield Brewery
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
