Probably my favourite that I've had on the Sub so far. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This is lovely.Much more drinkable than the ABV would suggest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Probably my favourite that I've had on the Sub so far.Agreed. My girlfriend got a mixed case for my birthday, think that was the pick of the bunch. Bit pricey as Mizfit has said however.A couple of glasses of Malbec tonight for this bear. No subs left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Where did you manage to get that? Did you buy it direct?Picked up a slab when I visited them a couple of weeks ago on my way to Inveraray. They've still got some up in their online shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Wee visit to the Fyne Ales brewery shop. Got some very interesting bottles from their Origins range, and a 5 litre mini keg of Fyne Lager. Looking forward to all of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Enjoy. Last time I was in they were pretty low in stock- were the shelves full again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 A couple of Negra Modelos for now and a Barney's marshmallow milk stout for later, quite looking forward to that. What is the recommended/experienced shelf life for mini-kegs once opened? Having five litres of Schiehallion or one of the Fyne Ales range on tap is tempting but I'm wondering whether it would be worthwhile or not: presumably lager has a shorter shelf life than ale as well. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I got about 3-4 days out of a Krombacher mini keg before it started going flat and tasting off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah place was well stocked and the brew shed was pumping out some top aromas. Had a good bit of chat with the lad in the shop. Sound as f**k. Definitely make my good guys of brewing list and will continue to buy their shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to broaden my horizons a bit, I drink far too much porters and stouts, and my stomach suffers badly at times, so I'm going to try some lagers and ipa's. I don't like anything too hoppy, for instance I've been drinking the "brel" that williams bros brew for Aldi, and that's quite decent.

They won't have been helped by the problems with the Rest and the detour by-passing them when the Old Military Road is closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say it’s reasonable for ales, but for lagers I would think it would be quite short as it could go flat pretty rapidly. I’ve had a couple of different ale mini-kegs that have lasted 2-3 days and been fine until the end. Edited November 4, 2020 by Honest_Man#1 They recommend finishing them within 5-7 days usually, but I don’t think I’d ever leave it as long as a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesnt have a lot of hops really and what it does have is traditional german noble hops. Nothing floral.

I will try to oblige him and honour his work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Finishing off the Oktoberfest box with an ABK festbier now and the dunkel waiting for later. The mini-keg idea can wait for now as I got a crate of dark Budvars delivered this afternoon. £32 for 20x500ml bottles will do very nicely indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer down the road told me they'd be open for takeaways till 9pm. Went down about 7 and it was closed. Now drinking Strongbow out the Sub for the first time. Bought a keg for a mate who doesn't drink beer months ago so getting rid of it before the expiration date. Not great if I'm honest. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't taken anything from them in a while but got an email promoting their Oktoberfest bow at less than £18 for 12 beers and decided to go for it. It arrived today - lovely timing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
