Beers drunk this weekend:

Shere Drop from the Surrey Hills Brewery. Not bad.
Proper Job from St Austell - really nice golden beer. Very easy summer drinking!
Yakima Red from Meantime - pretty good as American style beers brewed in England go.

Shere Drop from the Surrey Hills Brewery. Not bad.

Surrey Hills is a marvellous brewery. I had Shere Drop a few months back and loved it.

I did. Havent had any word back from them on that though.

What did you get?

All sorts! Quite fun opening the box and looking through them. This weeks is Yakima IPA - Great Heck. Stronger than I'd usually go for at 7.4% but I suppose half the idea is to try beers I wouldn't normally get the chance to.

This week's ale:

Great Heck Brewery, Yakima IPA - https://beerbods.co.uk/this-weeks-beer/great-heck-brewery-yakima-ipa/

Awesome label!

It's a strong'un. 7.4% American style IPA. Very balanced, with all the hops added at the end of the boil to temper the bitterness. Looking forward to it.

Oh and the guy who makes it is called Denzil Valance, which it the coolest name I've heard in a while

Very steampunk innit

The Great Grey Owl was tremendous.

If we whispered “toffee apples” while you drink it you will see what we mean.

Totally bizarre! I love it. Right at the front of your tongue.

Very strong though. It was advertised as 'dangerously drinkable' and it's just about that but the more I have the more I like it.

 

[Alan]

You Brits must be really used to 4%-5% beers. I barely drink anything lower than 7.5%.
