Beer

You won't be disappointed Gav its fucking lovely

Wheat beers are the best, and that does sound fucking beautiful. The missus is en route to pick some up now.

This is getting dangerous now.

I've got two weeks over Xmas to sink all of this shit, as well as all the wine and whisky I've been stockpiling along the way. Yep, it's getting dangerous.

£10 credit at Beer52 if anyone can use it.

This is a ridiculous offer from Waitrose.

The best in its category

Sold out at Waitrose in Wolves. Presumably Gav got here first!

Waitrose have a great line of beers online, but when you go it's always out of stock e.g Jaipur.

The range in store is pretty awesome tbh. Best of the supermarkets. Loads of Jaipur on the shelves too.

Oh and Boozad, next time you're in Waitrose, grab a Hitachino Nest White Ale. Japanese wheat beer. Bags of flavour. Lemon, ginger, pepper etc.

Took a trip last weekend to Waitrose on the Penn Road. Went a bit mad then regretted it when forgot I'd walked there from town.

Nope, the wife didn't manage to bag any. She did come home with some more-than-acceptable substitutes though in Leffe Blond and Hoegaarden. Still pissed off I missed out though, I wonder if they'll deliver if you order online...

Noted cheers Will, I'll look out for that. Japanese beer has never seemed that appealing to me but that sounds gorgeous. I'll add some to my online order.

Hmmm £60 minimum spend for delivery, do I rack up £60 worth of beer to get the delivery?

Had one of these bad boys in York Tap last night.

Bloody brilliant.

Drank my own body weight in beer last night. Hanging like never before today. Not cool!

Vocation Brewery - Life & Death. My favourite IPA at the moment.

Cracking brewery. Their Heart & Soul is awesome as well.

Black Wolf - Glencoe Stout. Stirling's 'finest' brewery lets me down yet again. Thin, watery, vaguely coffee tasting, dishwater. The head stuck around for a good 3 seconds.

Got a nice reliable stout from Meantime to follow up though so all is not lost.

For those looking for this on the shelves, it's got a white label, unlike the picture.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Different colour label is usually a different variety.

That was my concern, but I don't that's the case with this one.

 

[machin05]

This is what I've got:

as opposed to:

But a quick Google Image search of the beer seems to show that it's mostly the white label that is out 'in the wild'.

There's also some thrilling label chat in the comments of this blog post - https://alcoholandaphorisms.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/tasting-notes-weihenstephaner-hefe-weissbier/
