Do we have any experts on Turkish booze as this stuff is shocking.0 -
This is absolutely gorgeous. Smokin'!1 -

Tuborg, probably the worst lager in the world.0

I'm glad it was given to me and I did not part with my hard earned.0

Proper old school beer in an old man's glass.1 -
This one looked like the result of a UTI. Tasted nice though.3 -
Finished off my Vocations yesterday... Double sherbet sour. Spent most of the evening with a face like a senior member of the WI who accidentally put on a porno.3

Classic tonight

Thought I'd give this a go. An absolute shocker, what a waste of £3.50.
One mouthful was enough.0 -
Another Pinter success, this time four saisons. Properly lovely in the warmer weather.

Bought a couple of these last week in Windermere. I love plum
porter, and the St Peters version is a wonderful thing indeed. I had very high hopes for this, but it tasted to me like a decent beer with prune juice added. Very pleasant, but not the stunner I expected.

This was a good brew. I certainly enjoyed it.IdleHans said:Another Pinter success, this time four saisons. Properly lovely in the warmer weather.
for another level, they their Space Hopper DIPA.. outstanding 🍺1 -
I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these. I have grain brewed for years, but it's messy and requires LOADS of kit and even then you're not guaranteed a good pint.IdleHans said:Another Pinter success, this time four saisons. Properly lovely in the warmer weather.
What is the American IPA like? Do you need loads of fridge space? Mine is at a premium.
I'm a big fan of saison beers and while they are not particular expensive, they are also not common in supermarkets.0 -
I've done three so far, the others being the IPA, which I thought was ok but not spectacular, and the Dark Matter stout which was fabulous. Got APA to do next and then probably the wheat beer or the space hopper after that, taking @Phantom_Users advice2

At present, my favourites in order would be:IdleHans said:I've done three so far, the others being the IPA, which I thought was ok but not spectacular, and the Dark Matter stout which was fabulous.

Space Hopper
Weiss Nites
Uplands social
West Nuevo Lager (not really a larger IMO)
Four Saisons
Public House IPA
Stars and Stripes APA
fresh republic lager
got 5 more to brew and try, so that could change in the next few weeks.
I haven’t tried the Dark Matter stout, as I’m not a big stout fan, but only heard good things about it
Happy Brewing 🍺
@PopIcon you do need a spare half a shelf or so in the fridge, I’m afraid, but we’ll worth it IMO.
I invested in a 2nd beer fridge and a 2nd Pinter, but timing is still crucial to make sure the space is there for conditioning.

A nice Blue Moon, better with a slice of orange in it.1 -
I'm starting to fall put of love in a big way with brewdog. They have dicked about with 2 things that didn't need any fuckery. Elvis Juice and Hazy Jane. Both been nerfed, cut, ruined by namby, pygmy interferism and now both taste unrecognisable and in the case of elvis juice, undrinkable. Its now disgusting, pissy, overly fizzy and lost the richness along with the reduction in ABV
And they keep dropping shit beers in their monthly beer box. Its meant to be about trying new beers not dumping their cruddy lost lager on subscribers5 -
A very passable pale ale, First Drop from Upper Pass in Vermont. Only significant because it’s the first time I’ve been into a bar just for a drink in 15 months. I’ve missed this.

Some recent beers I've tried recently
All of them went down very well. Of these the stand out was the Siren collaboration with Thornbridge brewery. I've never had a white stout (never knew they existed) but this was exceptional with loads of flavours coming through and very smooth.1 -
I never personally got on with Brewdog. Their suff always seemed too hoppy for my liking. It really winds me up though when breweries piss about with their offerings, especially when they reduce the strength to meet the needs of some market segmentation exercise. The whole point of having a brand is to give the customer a sense of assurance that they are getting a consistent product. If you take that consistency away, you might as well bung every brew in a big barrel marked 'something we knocked up this morning'.Carter said:I'm starting to fall put of love in a big way with brewdog.

Agree with this. I've personally never rated Brewdog beers much but have mates who rave about them, which is fair enough as its a matter of taste.Stig said:

I do think they were very good at getting in at the start of the "craft" beer thing taking off and are still riding that wave a bit when there are far better producers out there. Great at marketing not so great at brewing these days, which seems to happen a fair bit when smaller producers scale up or get bought out.1 -
I agree with both. I'm not a brewdog loyalist more of an elvis juice devotee and to have it totally changed so it tastes like some generic soapy fizzy piss has really got up my nose. If they wanted to make a diet or light version they could have done that but the hoppyness and rich texture has now gone and the grapefruit flavour which before was a really interesting sub flavour is now so overpowering its more like an alcopop.Bournemouth Addick said:

They have done the same to Hazy Jane too which was also a bigger ABV hitter and it is truly sub-standard now.
There are tons of fizzy pissy beers available and at the prices brewdog charge I will stick with Leffe Blonde.4 -
First post lockdown pint in my local yesterday.
Lovely, but now £5.10 a pint for brakspears gravity, just 3.4%. It was £4.40 last time I was in there.

I popped into Mikkeler in Exmouth Market yesterday for a pre-lunch tipple, having been alerted to its existence by the ‘Beer Guide London’ app. Just as well as well I checked the prices, which are, quite frankly, mind boggling - https://www.mikkellerbrewpublondon.com/beer-menu
As my mate observed, it can’t be easy justifying up to £20 for a pint (or a proportion thereof) - presumably the beer is brewed from unicorn’s teardrops.
I eschewed my usual Homer Simpson approach and went for the cheapest one at £6 a pint2 -
Those prices are insane. Who on earth has £22 to spend on one pint of beer?Blucher said:I popped into Mikkeler in Exmouth Market yesterday for a pre-lunch tipple, having been alerted to its existence by the ‘Beer Guide London’ app. Just as well as well I checked the prices, which are, quite frankly, mind boggling - https://www.mikkellerbrewpublondon.com/beer-menu
