invergowrie arab Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Had a bottle of Brewdog's Jack Hammer earlier. Lovely and hoppy but not to the extent that they claim. Also a bottle of Harviestoun The Ridge. Quite hoppy and very easy to drink. Both above from Tesco. Before that I had a can of Sixpoint Bengali Tiger in my local Wetherspoon's. Also bought a pint of Brain's SA but returned it to the bar as it was obviously in bad condition. Swapped it for a pint of McEwans Red. Nothing great but easy enough to drink. thats what it tastes like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Finished off with a couple of Fourth Of July IPA by Alloa Brewing company (?) Nice and smooth with a bit of body to it. 5.0% too so not a session ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality.Also found a bottle of Innis & Gunn Canadian Cherrywood Finish Oak Aged Beer. 7.4 abv. Only £1.79 Excellent value, and a quality brew.

mighty meadow Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Bottle of Buddy's Bourbon Beer with a hint of Honey. Like drinking a packet of liquidised Lockets. Rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I had a bottle of Tullibardines 1488 which is a whisky beer from the Tullibardine Distillery and was raving about it, so the wife bought me Buddy's Bourbon beer because I am quite partial to a bourbon. It was far too sweet for me, the honey seem to mask any other flavours. The other one I can recommend is Brains Boilermaker a Welsh Whiskey IPA. That was very pleasant.

philpy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 This, in the nor loch in waverley station. Although, at 7% and £4.50 a bottle, it'l be my first and my last in here. Very nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wee haul from newcastle. No real ale shops as such in the area, but fenwick's department store has a great selection of ales, focusing especially on breweries in the north-east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Imagine my delight when doing the shopping at the weekend, when I spotted this stuff in the supermarket. Just to put some background to my happyness - Ale/Craft beer is a very rare thing here in Austria, and I have been craving the stuff for a long time now. It is of course, only a limited edition, so I'll need to get stocked up before it all disappears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Anyone tried this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-28769152 As a side note, tried a pint of Punk IPA Brew Dog yesterday and it was fucking crap. Wouldnae recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnae recommend. No, I have had a few of Timothy Taylor's beers though but not that one. I have friednd who is in Camra and we both agree that the Silver Medal winner Oakham's Citra is awful. It's far too hoppy and has a metallic aftertaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnae recommend. Surprised at that I quite enjoy Brew Dog's Punk IPA. Prefer the Hardcore IP and 5am Saint though. Funnily enough heading down to Brew Dog pub in Manchester after work tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Punk IPA is possibly the best beer ever brewed. Well, top 20 anyway. Not enjoying it is beer heresy. Broughton's Old Jock is helluva strong but is indeed a lovely drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broughton's Old Jock is helluva strong but is indeed a lovely drop. Just not to my taste. Too 'citric' tasting if you know what I mean. Might try that Old Jock.

Really like Asahi and also Sapporo. With either sushi or yakisoba is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a four pack, take pictures of it and print two out, sitting them in the fridge beside the four pack? Is that it? Your idea? Huh? HUH?

centralTon Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Had a couple of pints of Stewart Brewery Jack (Back) in Platform 3 in Linlithgow, really refreshing slightly hoppy beer, first time I've tasted it. Also bought some beer from the Tesco near the bar including, Tesco Finest Porter...excellent, Old Hoppy Ale...really enjoyed this tho' it lacked a bit of hoppiness and Youngs Double Chocolate Stout...it is what it is.
