There's usually a good mix of fairly priced wines and more expensive bottles but I've looked through the brochure that arrived earlier and it does seem to have more in the 8-10 range and fewer in the below 8 range this time. Wines like the Bread & Butter are a bit dearer but they are really good. They seem to cut some really good deals with vineyards and the 'When it's gone it's gone' deals that I've tried have been excellent.

 

I got a very reasonably priced Malbec then they stopped doing it.  It was an exceptional wine for a very good price.  Very velvety.

Wouldn't happen to be this? Just opened minutes ago! Californian but cracking. 20200519_172111.thumb.jpg.d153f544f0414bb4a22382eef944f81d.jpg

Glorious stuff this. Windswept in Lossiemouth - this is their 'Werewolf', a dark beer infused with chilli. My mouth is on fire!
I bought a mini keg a few weeks ago, but only got round to having it this weekend (thanks to furlough Mondays are now part of the weekend)


I assume that is a chilli infused version of the standard Wolf? Sounds like it could be interesting. The standard Wolf is pretty good but I found the hangover potential to be high.

Going back to previous posts regarding Loch Ness Brewery, I love their Hoppy Ness offering which is similar to the also mentioned Williams Bro’s Joker

Whilst I couldn't say for absolute certain, I'm fairly confident that it's chilli infused 'ordinary' Wolf. I got a mini keg and drank it over the course of three nights as, as you allude to yourself, it's pretty strong.

They're delivering all over the UK now. Works out quite expensive I suppose, but it's high quality stuff.

As a gold member I get bombarded with ads when I peruse P 'n' B. A few days ago I clocked an ad from Brewdog offering free delivery, so I did the decent thing and ordered 24 tins of Lost Lager for around £25. 

They arrived today but TBH I'm kinda disappointed. Brewdog beers are not as good as they used to be. It's not that much better than the likes of Fosters or Carlsberg.

I'll still fucking drink them though...

Brewdog have always been bang average for me. Usually they are overly hopped for me.

I've tried a few craft beers over the years, including BrewDog and I don't get this obsession with more and more hops. Most of them taste like Dettol

Unless they specialise in them most craft breweries seem to struggle to make decent lagers. Lost Lager is probably the best of the regular Brewdog lagers they’ve made but isn’t really better than ok as craft beers go.

This was my lockdown birthday present from my missus. Only Punk and Elvis Juice still remain, Clockwork Tangerine and Hazy Jane have been the highlights so far.
