Crown Brewery Stannington Stout (5%)
I first encountered Stannington Stout when I visited Crown Brewery to help brew Ring of Fire 2009. Although by the time I drank it I may have been a little worse for wear, I did however enter “Lovely roast almost smokey flavour” to my phone. So when Stu sent me some that he had bottled […]

I recently ordered a couple of cases of Unpronounceable IPA from My Brewery Tap, Stu being the gent he is, kindly slipped in a couple of unlabelled bottles of his new Wheat Beer for me to try. Before I drank and photographed them a little bit of Blue Peter magic was needed, I managed to […]

I’ve wanted to do blind tasting between Brewdog‘s Infamous Punk IPA and Thornbridge’s Stunning Jaipur for a while, but haven’t actually managed to keep a bottle of either in my beer cupboard long enough to compare them side by side.

It seems like so long ago since I jumped on the train heading for Sheffield, but looking at the calendar it was only on Saturday, I can only put this down to either some sort of spacetime continum or a monumental hangover, which led to a couple of days of being dazed and confused. You […]

Samuel Berry’s Pale Ale was one of Crown Brewery’s beers that I hadn’t had until I visited the Hillsborough Hotel to help brew Ring of Fire 2009. I was given a taster while I was there and also bought a bottle home with me, it was meant to be drank on the train but I […]

In anticipation of my trip down to the brewery to deliver some of my Chilli Up North Chillis to Stu and give him a hand in brewing Ring of Fire beer, I thought I would review another one of Crown’s beers (i’ve already done U.I.P.A , Wheetie Bits and the previously mentioned chilli beer Ring […]

This was another of the beers that @crownbrewerstu sent me. After trying the Ring of Fire and Unpronounceable I.P.A I was really looking forward to this one, mainly because the other two had really surprised me and i thoroughly enjoyed them. The beer opened with a real fizz and started to foam out of the […]
