You really can't beat Aldi and Lidl for their selections of beers, especially when they've got their Scottish Beer Festivals on the go. Yup. Shame they don't sell the 'festival' beers all year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I've tried these few tonight. All decent enough with the Glasgow Porter and the super drinkable Winter Sunshine from Spey Valley Brewery (pick of the bunch) being the stand-outs. The Neipa was the only one I was a wee bit disappointed in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neipa was the only one I was a wee bit disappointed in. Spey Valley do some excellent beers. Their 'Sunshine on Keith' is excellent. It's sold in the bar in Inverness train station. That Williams Brother Craft Lager is very good stuff too. NEIPAs are more miss than hit in my experience/opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Anyway, bottles of this were £1 in Morrisons. Obviously they're punting the stock. Actually pretty decent stuff. Not as strong and definitely far less carbonated than a normal Strongbow is, and far less sweet, despite smelling exactly as you would imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway last night I tried another one of my Lidl purchases. Wasn't sure what to expect from 71 Brewing's Valleys Between, described as a strawberry and passion fruit gose, but it was lovely - really refreshing. I'll be popping back for a few more of these and the Spey Valley Winter Sunshine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Just had a Drygate Double Disco there. No bad, certainly grew on me as it went on. Got a Salt NEIPA and a Drygate Chocolate Peanut Butter stout for later but, with no fucking modesty whatsoever, the highlight of the night is this. The best work of my short brewing career so far, a German Lager that would pass for shop bought every day of the week. Giving myself a pass on this arrogance, because I have worked like f**k to get to a point of making a good lager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It perhaps needed a wee bit more salt to get the full sweet-sour-salty combination: like a Margarita in a can. Gose beers like this are usually worth looking out for though. A Negra Modelo and one of the Ola Dubhs for the CL this evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent enough but it was about 8% so one was enough. EDIT: £29 on Amazon. f**k that! Edited October 30, 2020 by tongue_tied_danny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
