Beer, revisited

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Not bad...basically a slightly spicier/more flavourful Hoegaarden. Not really a winter brew but selection for me is low right now and I'm not up for a whiskey ATM. A Dubbel apparently (had it for a while so couldn't remember) but goes down like a whitbier, very reminiscent of Hoegaarden, just packs more in. Not bad at all.

And Match of the Day. Marvelous.

Both absolutely gorgeous. I've had the regular one on draft, it's known down here as 'liquid Crunchie'.

They're carrying that Vocation coconut one in our local Sainsbury's, any good?

It was ok. That and the cinder toffee weren’t as sweet as I expected, quite heavy smell and taste

Immediate directions to these 'jug shops' please.

Excellent dunkel, balanced malt, really creamy. Will try and score some more of these.

Looks good. Do you happen to know what city/town it is from? Used to live in that general area (Franconia)

I listen to an online radio station that occasionally plays news headlines and adverts from the 60s. This morning one of the adverts was for Mickey's Malt Liquor ; never heard of malt liquor before, what is it, and is it any good ?

It's fairly similar lager but less hoppy and maltier i think - like all beer, some are good, some aren't

I doubt that one is any good, its' Miller

Beautiful

All were drank with relish, and were very nice. I particularly enjoyed the stout, but I've always had a leaning towards the dark side.

Other beers were imbibed, highly recommended if I could remember what they were.

Sunday Sessions Pale 3.8% from Twisted Wheel.

Outstanding, the amount of flavour, packed into a low abv beer, was incredible.

Plus, a rare bit of good news, in that the brewery shut in Dec, due to the cost of everything and has just re opened, as s smaller version.

Never seen that brewery before, did you drink it locally ?

They’re originally a micro from Chorley and then moved to Warrington due to needing bigger premises.

They’ve re opened as a micro.

My local gets their stuff and Big Bog - Speke.

I think there’s a few in town, who have their stuff on pretty frequently.
