A few months ago well known Yorkshire Brewery, Black Sheep did something a little bit different. Known for producing a solid range of tasty cask and bottled beer they decided to brew a beer they’d not tried before…an Imperial Russian Stout, weighing in at 8.5% ABV, what’s more they then sent the beer on a [...]

It seems wrong that I’ve not written about Magic Rock beers on here before, especially as I’ve supped an awful lot of them from bottle, cask and even keg. So I thought it was about time I broke the duck, jumped on the bandwagon and wrote a little bit about them. Based in Huddersfield, Magic [...]
View PostJust like with the excellent Salopian Oracle, I’ve been trying to catch up on some of the beers I’ve been sent lately, the latest of which is from Innis & Gunn. Innis & Gunn are one of those breweries that divides opinion, some love their beers, others can’t stand them, for me it’s probably the [...]
View PostI’m just getting round to catching up on a few beers I’ve been sent over the last few months, Salopian very kindly sent me a couple of bottles that I drank a while back and just like Darwin’s Origin they gave me a real surprise.

View PostA couple of weeks ago HardknottDave asked me if i wanted to test his soon to be launched online shop, happy to help a mate and with the chance to order a pre release version of his newest bottled beer, I logged on and got stuck in. Not long after my paypal receipt had arrived [...]

While the chocolate and cheese was a delicious and a nice touch, I was most interested [...]
View PostI first heard about Coniston IPA when Ian mentioned it in his Meet the Brewer and from his tweets on twitter I knew I had to try some. So on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago we decided to have a beery night in Coniston town I popped into the Black Bull for [...]
View PostIt’s not often, or at all you see beers from Epic in the UK so when I spotted a couple of their beers on the list for the Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) this year I got more than a little excited. As soon as I got through the door at GBBF (more on the [...]
View PostI’ve been a big fan of Mallinsons ever since a bottle arrived back in one of my My Brewery Tap 52 Week Beer Club cases. Ever since then I’ve tried them both on cask and in bottle when ever I’ve had the chance. The latest of these beers is number 3 in a series they’ve [...]
View PostI’ll cut straight to the point, I love Fruli Beer, I’ve been drinking it for as long as I can remember and despite it’s bright pink appearance it seems popular with both sexes, even in the pub up the road that sells it by the pint. It’s brewed near Ghent in Belgium and has won [...]
