Interesting! I've just cracked open a Signature Brew Pale Ale and it is waaaay to piney. Can barely taste anything else.

Just had some 5am red shit in Brewdog, not a fan.

Had a Tiny Rebel Cwtch at lunch today - absolutely superb red beer. Best pint I've had for a while.

That's the brewery I keep raving about. Consistently superb.

Honest Brew have been running a Black Friday offer. 6 beers and a glass, which is normally £22.50 - They have been randomly changing the price, mostly sticking at £18 with free delivery.

Been keeping an eye on it ove rthe weekend. Cheapest I saw it go down to was £12 with free delivery, which was tempting. Glad I held off - just bagged it for £9!

Ah, it's just gone up to £666 :icon_lol:

The view I had last night:

Absolutely bloody tremendous. The XXX is Bathams' seasonal ale, and they don't make much of it due to the capacity at the brewery. Subsequently, it is very hard to get hold of - I actually missed it last year. It sells RIDICULOUSLY fast, and for good reason - it's absolute nectar.

Where's my best bet for getting a pint of that?

A Bathams' pub?

A Bathams pub - I very much doubt they'd deliver any to another pub, even if they supply Bathams to them normally. They just make so little of it.

Not sure what's nearest you - The Britannia in Gornal? TBH even if you do happen to get to a Bathams pub, there's no guarantee it'll be on. Last year I kept trying to time my visits to ensure I was there when they had a barrel of it on, and I never got it right!! Last year in the Royal Exchange, they put it on one Saturday afternoon at about 5pm. I got there at 8 and it had gone!

Ah, they won't be sending it to anywhere in Wolvo then?

Keep checking back, it'll be on offer soon enough.

I'd be amazed if they did. It really isn't easy to find even if you often frequent a Bathams pub.

Down to £12 now...

£12 now. I might wait and seen if I get it at £9.

Apparently it went down to £1.23 for a short spell over the weekend!

I'm looking at taking a trip round a few Batham's / Black Country pubs on 19th Dec as a precursor to Xmas.
