Beer Review: Crossing the Rubicon – Drygate Brewing Co.

Today’s beer is from Glasgow based Drygate Brewing Company. I have had one of their beers previously, their Disco Forklift Truck Mango IPA, and from what I recall it was quite good. Found this in the supermarket with what I think is some new artwork and branding. This beer is also from their core range and is Crossing the Rubicon IPA coming in at a … Continue reading Beer Review: Crossing the Rubicon – Drygate Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Life & Death – Vocation Brewery

A fresh brewery today in the form of Vocation, an outfit from Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire. I’d heard some really good things about this brewery so picked this up instantly when I saw it the supermarket. This is part of Vocation’s core range and is Life & Death a rather strong 6.5% IPA. Visually the beer has a fantastic golden haze to it. Now the the … Continue reading Beer Review: Life & Death – Vocation Brewery

Beer Review: Pineapple Express – Tiny Rebel x Polly’s Brew Co.

Today’s beer is a Tiny Rebel collaboration with another Welsh brewery; Polly’s Brew Co. I’ve never had a Polly’s beer before but knowing Tiny Rebel I imagined it can only be good. I really like collaborations. It exposes you to new breweries and the beers tend to be really interesting as you get characteristics from both breweries imparted into the idea and importantly the flavour. … Continue reading Beer Review: Pineapple Express – Tiny Rebel x Polly’s Brew Co.

Beer Review: Easy Livin’ – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Today I return to a pale ale, which, come to think of it I have not had in a fair while. I think IPAs are the most popular style at the moment but I do love a good pale ale. Another of the Tiny Rebel haul this is their ‘Easy Livin” 4.3% ABV session pale ale! Visually, the beer had me excited immediately. Lovely and … Continue reading Beer Review: Easy Livin’ – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Passion Fruit Pool Party – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Returning to Tiny Rebel once again today, but with a first for the blog. Passion Fruit Pool Party is the first wheat beer I have reviewed and not a style I typically have. My main encounters with wheat beer is in the form of the widely available Blue Moon, which I am partial to every now and then. As such I was quite excited to … Continue reading Beer Review: Passion Fruit Pool Party – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Mango Unchained – ShinDigger Brewing Co.

Taking a quick break from the Tiny Rebel haul to try out another new brewery. Today I’ve got the brilliantly named ‘Mango Unchained’ from Manchester based, ShinDigger Brewing Co. which is a 4.2% ABV session IPA. A quick glance at their website shows they tend to make lower ABV sessionable beer, something I’m a fan of. Mainly because, if it’s a cracking beer you can … Continue reading Beer Review: Mango Unchained – ShinDigger Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Key Lime Lager – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

This review will be the first of many Tiny Rebel Brewing Co. beers to appear on my blog in the near future. This is because I have decide to be incredibly self indulgent and buy their ‘One of Everything’ pack which, as the name suggests, is one of all the beers they currently offer. It’s actually something I wish more breweries did as I’m always … Continue reading Beer Review: Key Lime Lager – Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

Beer Review: Goose IPA – Goose Island Beer Co.

Another IPA today with a new brewery for me in the form of Goose Island Beer Co. They are a Chicago based brewery who, as with many independent breweries, have since been bought out by one of the big players. In this case AB InBev. I feel like the Goose Island brand is one I’ve seen on the shelves for a while but never tried, … Continue reading Beer Review: Goose IPA – Goose Island Beer Co.

Beer Review: Origin – Northern Monk

Returning to the ever reliable Northern Monk today with a beer that will make my Dad very pleased! This is their Origin gluten free IPA. While the availability of gluten free beer is becoming increasingly wider, quality flavorful gluten free options are few and far between. Thankfully, I’ve noticed a trend in breweries having a token gluten free beer and while I’d like them to … Continue reading Beer Review: Origin – Northern Monk

Beer Review: Juicebox – Fourpure Brewing Company

Today sees us returning to Fourpure Brewing Co. and a review I have been very much looking forward to making. Previously, I reviewed Fourpure’s Easy Peeler which was the session version of today’s beer; Juicebox Citrus IPA. I was not the biggest fan of the Easy Peeler and thought it was way to bitter, so was excited to see if the original version would be … Continue reading Beer Review: Juicebox – Fourpure Brewing Company
