carpetmonster Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Seefurth Family Pizza Beer. Apparently they do actually make a margarita pizza and throw it into the mash. Smells like oregano, first taste is oregano, and then cheese and tomato flavour Puffs crisps on the aftertaste. Brain genuinely confused by this; it's absolutely fuckin barkin, but I kind of want another one. Neck says 'beer so good it deserves to be in a wine glass' so drank it from one. Odd.

GordieBoy80 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Tried some of the Abbot Brew House Kingdom 10.4 that I mentioned previously. Not sure how to describe it other than very malty tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just been to Aldi. What a selection! Must be about 40 beers in the festival. Got something from Shetland, Williams Bros Hipsway, and a couple of others that look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Has anyone heard of Grunting Growler before? They appear to be a business (without a permanent premises right enough) in Glasgow where you can go in, try a few samples of their ales, and then pour your favourite into a 'Growler' jug, which you take home and drink. I think it's an excellent idea. It's environmentally friendly, sustainable and it's beer! Can't wait to have a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife surprised me buy getting me a litre growler filled with Cromarty "ghost town". It was a fiver for the bottle, and something like 7 quid for the litre. They price it on the basis of the strength of the ale. Stewart brewing do the same kind of thing, they kindly let me use the growler that I bought at the other place. It's Been a good idea.

Falkirk-Bairn22 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 No idea where you will find this lager but at a recent beer festival 'inky pinky' was a firm favourite. Easy to drink and didn't leave you feeling bloated at the end if the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illustrates the main disadvantage of ale drinking though. Casks in places are often rotated so if you find something you like, you may never see it again.

It's from down in the Cotswolds I think. Lovely refreshing bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've started going out of my way to visit pubs which sell Heverlee lager. It's possibly the best lager I've ever tasted... Heavenly even. Supposedly it's an age old beer which previously went out of production but is currently being tested in (the obviously piss-head nations of) Scotland & Ireland before they go all out in expenditure to go for it again big time. Feel honoured. Eta: You can find your nearest provider here: http://www.heverlee.com/find-a-pint/country/scotland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I had a banana bread beer by wells earlier, it was rather tasty but it appears I only bought one so I've had to return to trusted favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Last few days beers: Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA - really really good. Some US IPAs have so much hops they just taste like a Magic Tree, but this has proper malt going on in it too. Dogfish Head 90 Minute - 9% big brother to the 60 Minute. No raw alcohol taste, very complex, possibly too much going on for my retarded palate. Nice, but prefer the 60. Lagunitas little sumpin sumpin ale - American wheat ale - drank the first bottle way too cold and just tasted like a run of the mill IPA. Letting it warm up a bit improves it immensely. Don't normally go for wheat beers die to hoeegarden having put me off them at a young age but this is good. Red Stripe - American version worse than the UK version. Weird winey, cidery taste. Pish. Free, but. Breckinridge Vanilla Porter - very much like If you'd eaten Frosties with Sam smiths nut brown instead of milk and then drunk the Sam smiths after the Frosties had been eaten. This is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
