Todd_is_God Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I can't be arsed checking if it's been mentioned, but Pineapple Express IPA from Tiny Rebel is superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head banger stuff One of the Chimays is mental as well, is it the blue? About 9% IIRC. Czech beer has its own scale, 10° is about 4% abv, 12° about 5%. those are the normal strengths you'll get with draught beer but I remember one of the times I was in Prague I got a bottle of Primator 16° which is about 7.5% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as the 10 but still not bad for a NAS I’ve had a bottle of that 90% full on the shelf for over 3 years now. Think it’s pretty rotten in all honesty and have been close to chucking it a few times. Keeping it solely for slightly smoky whisky cocktails now tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t miss it that much, I also drank lots of coke so was just swapping one vice for another. Enjoyed having a couple but I’ll try not to go too crazy on it going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent really explored Belgian beer much so trying to make a conscious effort to seek it out. Very pleased with this one. I tried a Belgian beer called Trappistes Rochefort once, it weighed in at around 11% but had a sweet, caramel like flavour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are undeniably handy also to stop her making toddies out out of 21 year Glendronachs and the like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Well that's a bit anti-Septic!Theres Brooklyn Lager, but I think that may actually be under licence. Other than that I genuinely cant think of my by way of American (non generic Bud/Coors shite) that you see in the shops. Even most of the American styles are by Scottish and English breweries. My suggestion would be that as long as you avoid funding brewdog, you are morally fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
