It's nearly always screwtop. And excellent, quality and value. Maybe different rules for export, in Spanish supermarkets it's nearly all corked. Have had it delivered from Spain before by https://www.vinissimus.co.uk/en/ , some good bargains btw even after delivery costs, and it's all been corked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a mixed message regarding corks and screw tops , I haven't noticed a difference in taste and quality between them . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think corks allow the wine to breathe a little whilst sealed, whereas you don’t get that as much with screw top as it’s a tighter seal. So for reds cork might be better, but tbh I never notice a huge difference. There’s something nice about a cork though, particularly that delightful sounds when you first remove it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 A lot of ire directed to Brewdog on this website. Any particular reason? (Apart from jealousy of their success)I wondered if anyone would answer with thoughts similar to myself but I haven’t seen anything. Brewdog started up claiming to be a small company etc. fair enough. It got in a bit of bother from another company and claimed the other company was just trying to oppose any competition. Once established, brewdog have threatened at least two smaller companies...not very small start up supportive attitude is it? Hypocritical c***s. They’ve claimed a couple of times to have made the strongest beers ever, never have they. They market themselves as a progressive, equality promoting company but released a pink beer for women...do guys not like pink? Do women not like other colours? Again, they still market themselves to be a small company, built by and for the ordinary, member of public shareholders...they sold part the company for £200 odd million and own a fucking jet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Freshly poured First World Problems 6.2% Belgian IPA from a 2l growler bought today from Stewart's Tap Room. And to think some people visit Loanhead to buy tealights and daim bars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a delivery from Drygate yesterday. Fourteen Peaks - 7.5% version of their Seven Peaks, Sugar Shack Moose Attack - 6.5% Maple Wheat Beer, Double Orinoco - 9% Imperial Milkshake Stout. Only tried the Orinoco, excellent, quite heavy with really dark chocolate aftertaste more than a couple would be overkill tbh. I'm interested to hear what the maple wheat beer is like! Right, difficult one. Started off smelling and tasting like a "Rauchbier", but mellowed after a while. Heavy Maple Syrup flavour, but typical Wheat traits, turned out to be quite pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
