A very occasional drinker these days, but I’m tipping back some Blue Moons tonight. Here’s to you, Sean Dyche!
Beer, revisited
- Thread starter SerenityNigh
- Start date
They were really good when they first started out but - in my opinion - they just expanded far too quickly. They seemed to suddenly start making loads of new brews (often mad flavours to show how 'different' they were) instead of focusing on perfecting the basics. I'm always wary of any brewery that immediately starts pumping out 15 different beers. It's hard enough to get one right, nevermind mastering a load of different styles.
Not had a DIPA for ages, nice example, sweet and bold, fruity not too dry hopped.

Liverpool's breweries 'hung out to dry' as they fight to survive

Will you miss the Lamb & Flag in Oxford?
THE Lamb & Flag, one of Oxford’s most historic pubs, is to close following tough trading conditions causes by coronavirus lockdowns.

You would hope that a buyer could be found for such an iconic pub.
Sadly I think many more will be SHUTTING DOWN if they can’t get up and running again, in some form by Easter.

Cue thread.
Sadly, I can’t see pubs being allowed to be open before May, at the earliest. A friend of mine in in the industry said that’s their best best outcome.
Aldi have bought 250000 gallons of beer and bottled it, from breweries that otherwise would’ve flushed it due to the virus.
Went on sale today and some really nice stuff amongst them, Old Hooky, Tanglefoot and even Warnsteiner.
All being sold at substantially cheaper prices than elsewhere.

I’m off to Aldi.

Hook Norton beers are great, Hooky Gold being a particular favourite - was that on sale ?
I believe so
trying a new one tonight, Karbach makes some good stuff. Their Love Street kolsch is really nice, but tonight i'm trying Southern Wheat belgian style wheat (no idea where the name comes from, but it is Dallas brewer, proper Texans these)
Nice, doesn't fully win me over to sours but its pretty complex if a bit 'poppy', made with blueberry blackcurrant, blackberry and almonds.
