Beer thread

[ian cruise]

Thought I'd bring this thread back to life just in case anyone likes a nice dark beer. If so, Brewgooder have recently collaborated with Pact coffee to do a limited run coffee stout. I've cracked one open tonight and I can highly recommend it.

If you've not ordered direct from Brewgooder before I've a discount code you can use at checkout - IAN10

Enjoy

Love a Guinness during the colder weather, how does this compare? Obviously a bit dearer without the discount, worth it?

Yes I had some at the weekend... I was pleasently surprised.

Not as gassy as I thought and a wee bit less sweet than Bud Light. Also tasted the Zero alcohol one as well... Very nice. Like San Miguel but crisper

Still widely available, my old man's go to in the boozer if they don't sell McEwans 80.

[Mike Berry]

I hadn't had that in years but I was in South Shields not long ago and someone got me one, was nicer than I remembered. Nothing wrong with a nooky broon.

Can I give a shout out for Wasted Degrees brewery?

https://www.wasteddegrees.com/shop/beer

As 'local' as you can get, it started in a garage 80m from me.

It went really downhill for a whole when they moved brewing to Tadcaster but it's improved in recent years since they moved it abroad. They have tweaked it a bit to suit the different water.

I know hops are all the rage and the more hops, the rarer the hops and the more bitter the better in some peoples eyes. I still like a good old fashioned malty beer though and something like NBA does the job.

If I can find a pub that still has a traditional heavy on tap then there's a good chance I'm ordering it.

Theres more places recently that have a decent 80 shilling on tap, which I've been going for a bit since I'm scunnered with hops. Was down London and the fullers London pride was really good

Ah, certainly not on the shelves at shops near me, thats why I thought it had stopped being brewed, has it ever been on draught or just bottles or cans ?

Ive tried a couple of bottles of Tennents Light, my Daughter got me a couple to try last summer, surprisingly quite refreshing when nice and chilled

[Mr Grieves]

Absolutely spoiled for microbreweries in Leith nowadays - pilot, campervan, west barns, moonwake. My favourite pint has to be Pilot's Vienna pale, lovely stuff.

It used to be, not anymore though I don't think, although I think it's still available in the states.

Tennents light is nice to take the edge off a hangover.

Other than that though I’d always stick to the real stuff.

I have Coeliac disease and have to eat a 100% gluten free diet,which rules out most beers although there are a few on the go.
By far the best is Bellfield brewery in Abbey Hill,all the beers are amazing and it was started by 2.coeliac Hibs fans

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Time to revive this thread, sure I saw someone a wee while ago talking about radlers. Well recently I’ve tried a grapefruit radler from Stiegl which was braw. However, I’ve found the winner. West brewery, I’m sitting in their pub right this second, have brought out a lemon radler for summer. Beautiful.

A pint of ColdTown Water Melon and Hibiscus Sour was certainly very interesting! I didn’t have a second one.

My wife likes the sours but I'm not that keen.

[Sylar]

Vault City do some lovely sours but I REALLY need to be in the mood for them.

Anyone got a perfect draft machine? Had mine 6 months, so far cannot fault it.

Yep, love it. Usually stick to the Vitamin T but sometimes splash out a wee bit on Spaten or Hertog Jan, lovely stuff

Anyone here got a Pinter?
I was involved in an early crowd-fund but didn't follow through on buying one due to poor and maybe over-critical reviews on brewing forums.
But, was takiyng to someone last Friday who has 4 gen-3's and he swears by the presses.
Really considering buying one now all the flaws have (apparently) been ironed out.

I've had mine for over 18 months (I think 🤔).

I've tried a lot of ales and lagers and can't think of one I haven't liked. I'm normally a cider drinker and wish the did something different than Orchard Pig. Although it's one of the better ones it's no the best.

Asda doing kegs could be a game changer for the better in terms of choice and price.
