Got 4 pints of 'Another Number' by Pentrich Brewing, a 4% Pale Ale on cask, delivered from The Hornet Alehouse in Chichester.

Double dry hopped Jaipur - to celebrate the 15th birthday of Jaipur.
Very good, though still not as good as the standard Jaipur (a high bar IMO)
Edit: 5.9% by the way
I love Thornbridge Jaipur. I’ve had the DIPA version from cask which was excellent ...and I just know I will like the double dry hopped version. Good work.
Bought a bottle of Primitivo and have had a few glasses so far. Going to switch to beer in a moment.

Yes I eat anything
Theakston's Old Peculiar ... 5.6% going down nicely
I like DDH IPAS but prefer them up towards the 7/8 abv when I partake.
Like you say though MG a high bar indeed.

Minipin (5L) Dark Star APA picked up from the brewery (essential travel) this afternoon. Bloomin’ lovely.
I think as we finish off any beers that maybe still left from presents during the festive season from loved ones Inthink it time to hijack this Fridat thread and name your best NEW beers from 2020. ........ new to you I must add.
For me.....
Verdant Fruit Car Sight Exhibition....... A smashing fruity hazy coming in at 8% and ticking all my tickling boxes.
From Wild Beer I grew very fond of the 750 ml of Ninkasi ( available from Waitrose) a smashing celebratory saison apple champagne style beer at over 9%.
I’m listening.

Just opened a Brewdog (Ohio) Jet Black Heart Nitro.
This was in Beer 52s best of 2020 box so it's a bit of a cheat suggestion. ****ing nice though.

A couple of Adnams Ghost Ship IPA 0.5%s, it’s really good low alcohol ale. A bottle of Gewürztraminer with dinner, and now collapsing into Remy fine champagne cognac. Well there’s fork all else to spend money on right now. Except charity of course, charity is good.

Waitrose ! Where did you street cred go ? You can get ****ed for a fiver over the road on lidl's finest ?
Dark Star APA is my favourite of theirs.
I’ve got a Dock’s Beers Overtime on the go while waiting for a ruby to arrive. It’s a little known brewery in Grimsby but genuinely very good, and I say that as an unashamed beer snob.

Dark Star APA and Thornbridge Jaipur are two of the finest beers out there. IMO
Had a few cans of lazer crush, a bottle of Waitrose AF cider ( very good!) and a glass of AF Chardonnay . . . Going to keep going a bit longer.
