Can you remind me where it's available? Not sure but I may have got it in Lidl. I tried this Black Forest Stout from my Beer 52 Melbourne box last night. I think someone else previously had similar comments but didn't get any Black Forest and found it pretty bland particularly considering the strength. Give me a McEwan's Champion Ale over that any day. I go for the light and dark selection from Beer 52 but sometimes find the dark selection really disappointing and concentrating on stouts. Maybe some areas don't really do ales or Beer 52 are just picking poorly. Cranachan Killer might be in Sainsburys, used to see it there, only had it on draft at Fierce bar in Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 6.2%, I'm going to feel this later.I love a Hopo, often with a wee whisky on the side but yeah, not going to go through much volume doing that - a night of sipping! Really like their Old Jock as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why on earth do you have 40 bottles of spirits you don't like - did you find them in the hoose when you bought it? Yeah it's a serious comment. I get loads of bottles through my work . Before lockdown I would give most away to friends and family or as raffle prizes for charity as I only like cider or vodka n coke. When the pubs shut last march , I thought I'll keep some and mibbe have a wee bar in the garden and told some people at work. So now I have umpteen Single malts, tequila , rum, brandy , flavoured gin etc etc etc. Bored with my usual tipple so trying to find something else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 A bottle of Weissbier then two from 6°n. Very nice Peloton pilsner then the Hypocrisy pale ale was fantastic. Best I've tasted in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm convinced they're just sticking different labels on the same 3 or 4 beers but what a brewery! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 What I have been drinking, possibly since March, maybe February, last year. Had to make 2 trips to the recycle place. Refund is $0.10 per bottle or can. Received $98.00. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in particular you can recommend? They don't do a core range, so what's available from them is constantly changing. TBH, a lot of their IPAs are decent enough but very interchangeable, which has led to the theory I've heard espoused that they might just be sticking essentially the same thing out multiple times with different labels... The IPAs apart, they've done some excellent stouts and sours in the last few months - if you can source It's Bounty Happen (coconut stout) Wake Up (coffee stout) or Deep Purple (blueberry sour) they were all really, really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
