Quite like this. 6.5% US style IPA from Hebden Bridge2

All about the fruit sours last night. Basically the fruit juice at the back of the fridge that has fermented. Superb.

Might have had more luck with the guvnor but she's not getting a Xmas tip this year 😉0 -
Has anyone tried Vault City sours?1

Tried this last night. Not my sort of thing tbh.0 -
Is it just me or do some of these beers look truly disgusting? And the cans/packaging they come in looks like someone has thrown up on them.
I'm all for beer and think it's great that it's made a revival. But a lot of the stuff out there just smacks of style over substance and a desire to look "hip" or "out there" rather than just focus on making a great beer. All seems a bit pretentious.
But then I like London Pride, which I guess people would consider too "boring".1 -

Love a London Pride myself but I get what you mean and there's no way I'd pay £11 for a can of beer. Others are happy to and others still will happily pay that and more for a glass of wine. All personal choice.
Equally though, I look at a pint of Carling and think I'd prefer a nice coffee instead tbh.

Fantastic brewery, excellent beers. Got a couple in my fridge at the moment and you've now got me tempted to crack one tonight!0 -
Sea Buckthorn & Mango sour from Vibrant Forest. How poncy is that!
I trust the packaging meets @Off_it approval though 😉1 -

@PopIcon ...I'm not sure if they're the same....when they arrive I'll post a pic...
@Off_it I would say that craft beer producers tend to link their brews to art and culture hence the 'loud cans' etc etc...mkting of course...and some of the beers (to my taste) fall well short of the mark BUT taste is individual and - as someone said above - when I see people ordering Fosters, Carling, Peroni, Stella, Old Speckled Hen etc etc etc I wonder 'why?' as to me they are all bland and tasteless... Last night I had a 6.5% pale ale from Other Half and then a 10% imperial IPA that was a collaboration between Other Half and Ominpollo… Both of them dank, cloudy, heavy and murky and both - to me - glorious examples of the styles....hugely tasty and refreshing, with the alcohol hidden behind a soft hop explosion and both a perfect foil for the lamb curry I was eating.

Anyone know an online shop that does Belgian beers cheaply?
Feels a bit of a con playing £4 a bottle for what you pick up over there etc at about €10 -

If in doubt take a look at some YouTube reviews. Especially Big Bald Reviews, he drinks a lot of beer!1 -

I found I started off buying Elvis juice and Life and death etc "for a treat"...a few weeks later that's all I was drinking...at around 6.5% it was pushing my alcohol consumption right up. I'm back on the 4 to 4.5 % stuff again and my head and weight are happier for it...0

theeenorth said:Barley wine gents please. The weakened Gold Label I'll still have in honour of the old man at new year but where can I find the Stingo's and others of the past? Youngs' Old Nick is lovely. Anyone know of other barley wines still being brewed?Have you tried Eltham Wine & Beers in Well Hall Road. Wide range of beers, which probably includes some barley wines. Some Sam Smith's, so if they don't stock Stingo they could probably get it in.Have you tried any Belgian dubbels and quadrupels? Quite similar to barley wine, and several are delicious. Again, this shop stocks several.0

Guinness has withdrawn its recently-launched zero-alcohol stout from all outlets following an investigation that the cans have been contaminated by zero-alcohol stout.3

Eagerly awaiting my Romney Marsh Brewery delivery. 24 500ml mixed strength bottles. I do love their Amber Ale.

Just discovered that I live within 10 miles of the Rebellion Brewery in Marlow, hence free delivery. A gallon is winging its way to me now, I hope.
