Beer

Crate - Sour. 4.9% sour ale brewed with passion fruit and hibiscus flowers. Very pleasant.

 

[Lycan]

By the Horns - Sour to the people. 4.8% Berliner Weisse. Just a subtle sourness, so clean and refreshing.

Disagree entirely mate. He's heavily involved, well informed, articulate, highly respected and knows exactly what he's talking about. I thinks it's an important and interesting subject that's worthy of discussion.

The pint will NEVER go in this country. Not a chance.

However I can see no reason why it can't co-exist with smaller measures for those beers where it may be appropriate.

Broad Street Chevalier is a very good Saison 6% ABV. Brew Dog 5AM Saint.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is calling for the removal of it as a measure. But more - why does it have to always be the default/benchmark serving?

BBNo. - 19/01 Classic Gose. A superb example of one of my favourite beer styles.

Northern Monk, Bhan Mi 4.8% (Thai) Gose.

Tradition innit?

There again I can remember that certain high strength seasonal ales ( especially during the winter) would only be sold in halves or indeed gills.

Northern Monk, Bhan Mi 4.8% (Thai) Gose.

That sounds cool. Any good?

 

[leedswolf]

Yeah, although it's not as sour as Northern Monk's Dave. It definitely has something, it's slightly salty, with a limey tang and a hint of sweet basil on the finish. And at 4.8% it's totally suppable, not to mention it'd go great with a banh mi.

Gipsy Hill - Drifter. Like falling in love. Best IPA in Britain IMO.

 

[leedswolf]

A PINT of Neck Oil. Good stuff, but strangely more expensive than Jersey

 

[Jolemai]

Anyone know of any bar or any shop selling a sour type beer around Stourbridge way?

Decent excuse to stock up on Kernel/BBNo./Howling Hops/etc as well!

 

[machin05]

Yeah, might put a box together tomorrow at work!

 

[Boozad]

They've got a decent few Weird Beard as well, I'll be ordering me a box tomorrow.
