Beer, revisited

[Billy Dean]

Their darker beers are much better than their lighter beers. Always been the way really, apart from the fact they have stopped making a lot of their better darker beers

Yeah my local one had overwhelmingly IPAs available. There were only 1or 2 darker ones and a few pils/helles. In terms of their own stuff. They did have quite a lot of guest beers too which were a bit more varied.

I think the German craft beer scene in general seems to be quite heavily IPA focused from what I can tell.

The same with most countries sadly. obv nothing wrong with them, but it's nice to have variety

I'm hoping to get to Nottingham in the next few months. I'll check it out.

Funny, I've never heard of it and I go to Notts every time I go to the UK.

Off to booths tomorrow

It's ok, they are def riding on that title. I'd say Trip has been looked after more.

i'd recommended here https://www.thehandandheart.co.uk/ over Royal tbh, it's set into the caves

Exactly how many pubs claim to be the oldest in the UK? I've seen at least three, probably more.

Another one, is the " smallest pub " in the UK.

I`ve been in at least three lol

See Dom and Fiona have won Liverpool Pub of the year with the Bridewell.

Very well deserved.

 

[Bluerover]

Time to get some cans in. Hopefully Ireland wins the Triple Crown..... although I am not an egg chaser. Nevertheless I can always enjoy an Irish success.

Had the Brewdog Nitro Jet Black Heart last night. Vanilla Outmeal Milk Stout. Thought it was pretty good although don't know stouts too well.

 

[Billy Dean]

The Brewdog Layer Cake stout was also very nice I thought.

Also I just went down my local bottle shop and got some beers from some German breweries. Furst Wiacek from Berlin and Frau Gruber round Stuttgart/Munich way. Just had the Scary Cassettes Hazy IPA from Furst Wiacek. Gets a 4.0 on Untappd but I give it a 3.5. I'm just a little bit bored of IPAs I think.

 

[Billy Dean]

Frau Gruber 24/7 Helles today. Nice hoppy, fruity helles. Enjoyed it.

 

[COYBL25]

Lasts night tipple :

Southern Cross / Weetwood 3.6%

It’s the first time I’ve seen anything locally from Westwood, outside of their ubiquitous Cheshire Cat.

Considering it was only 3.6%, it was really flavoursome and a very pleasant drink.

Plus I think you could drink quite a lot of it, without suffering too badly the morning after !

Luscious dopple bock, fruit candy bomb, lovely.
