Just polished off a bottle of Kernal table beer and now onto a bottle of London Fields brewery Hackney Ale.
Supped Brew Dog's Sink the Bismarck today. 41% (forty one)
Oh dear. I heard the Brewey Tap in North Road is up for sale. Already.
The rent's a very steep looking £40k however it is, of course, free of tie.
The 9.5% stout in Craft at the mo is beautiful.
I'm not overly surprised. It started off really well and then diversified and went down-hill rapidly. It tried to be too many things to too many different people.
What's the brewery? I'm off to the un-tapping of a new Chinook lager tonight.
As well as Craft Beers in the States we now have a new breed of beers called 'Artisanal', cant see what the difference is apart from about $3 a 6 pack. Definitely getting a bit poncey.
The term 'artisanal' would make an interesting hashtag.........
Ordered any of the Alice Porter or Mashtag from Brewdog yet ?
That's insane. Had to Google to see if you were losing your mind. Hope you haven't btw after drinking it.
Where do you drink it?
In the North Laine last night and had a few pints of Laine Best Bitter, very nice indeed.
Not yet. I took a delivery a week ago with contained the recent Imperial stout from the Abstrakt series, the IPA's Not Dead Series, Libertine Black Ale, Hardcore IPA, Dead Pony plus a bunch of Flying Dog beers including the wonderful Atlantic lager.
Wife is going out now so I'm going to make a start on the IPA's Not Dead
I was really disappointed with the latest IPA is Dead, maybe just me. The Alice Porter is fantastic, probably my fave Brewdog beer for a while!
I tried this at a place called Monk's Bar in Stockholm. They have one for beer, one for wine and one for whisky. You're given a menu and select by country. This is Dutch. Very liquoricey, chocolatey, silky, lovelyness! The bottle top was coated in a wax seal
