The world may be ending - brewdog now do Punk in 500ml cans.

Don't know if its new or not, currently 6 cans for £15, seems a bit steep though.

£2.50 for 500ml seems about right, tbh.

£2.50 for 500ml seems about right, tbh.

£6 for 4 x 330ml in tescos though.

I thought they'd stopped that offer?

 

[Tredman]

Nope, busy working my way through a 4 pack bought today right now

Nice

Siren/Brewdog Ten Dollar Shake - 6.6% Fruit Smoothie IPA. Possibly one of my beers of the year. Amazing.

Wiper & True Milk Shake - 4.9% Milk Stout. Absolutely gorgeous.

Time & Tide Kraken - 7.4% Coffee Stout. Exactly what it says on the tin. Wickedly bitter with loads of roasted coffee.

 

[Lycan]

Howling Hops - Ruby Red. Stunner.

Siren/Brewdog Ten Dollar Shake - 6.6% Fruit Smoothie IPA. Possibly one of my beers of the year. Amazing.

Not as good as NMBCo's Mango Lassi Heathen IMHO.

Beavertown - Holy Cowbell. First time I've had this, don't know why it's taken me so long. Love it.

Followed up by a Fourpure - Oatmeal Stout. Really nice brew.

I had the Holy Cowbell a couple of weeks ago. Fair to assume that I wasn't overly impressed.

Siren/Brewdog Ten Dollar Shake - 6.6% Fruit Smoothie IPA. Possibly one of my beers of the year. Amazing.

Not as good as NMBCo's Heathen Mango Lassi IMHO.

Not had either yet unfortunately. My top 3 beers of the year so far are Gipsy Hill - Drifter (East Coast DIPA), Great Divide - Espresso Oak Aged Yeti (Imperial Stout) & Tiny Rebel - Clwb Tropicana (IPA).

Not as good as NMBCo's Mango Lassi Heathen IMHO.

Not tried it yet, look forward to it though.

Mine would probably be Tiny Rebel - Clwb Tropicana IPA, Northern Monk - Northern Star Mocha Porter, Siren/Brewdog Ten Dollar Shake IPA.

Tough one;

Birrificio Del Ducato - Chrysopolis 5% Lambic

Feral Brewing - Hop Hog 5.8% American IPA

NMBCo - Double Heathen 10% Double Imperial IPA.

This thread is difficult for me at the moment. A week since I had a drink and it could be a fair few days until my next one. At least reading about Lycan and Boozad's favourite beers makes me realise what I am missing.

 

[Boozad]

Birrificio Del Ducato - Chrysopolis 5% Lambic

Their Machete DIPA is lush as well.

 

[leedswolf]

Fallen Brewing Malibru 4.1% Coconut Sour. Really good.

Brewdog Trashy Blonde 4.1% Blonde. Top stuff.

Brewdog Strawberry Blitz 3.2% Strawberry Sour/Berliner Weisse. OMG Mivvi in a glass followed with a salt hit mellowing into biscuit! Stunningly good.

Oskar Blues IPA 6.4% IPA. Fantastic. Top juicing.

Lost and Grounded Keller Pils 4.8% Kellerbier. Good stuff.

Squawk Oat Pale Ale Columbus Cascade. A very good 4.7% cask American PA.

 

[Lycan]

Buxton - Rain Shadow. 10% Imperial Stout. Fuck me what an amazing beer.

Pours black as night with a mocha head, big whack of booze up front on the nose followed by bitter dark chocolate, coffee, tobacco and burnt toast. A rich, velvety smooth body, big bitter dark malts but with a smooth sweetness all the way through it. Love it.

Got this lot coming. Was going to order from Beer Merchants (they've got a stunning selection) but I couldn't bring myself to pay £7 delivery, especially on top of a big order. Went back home to Honest Brew instead. Not sure what the 'backordered' means against the BA Rain Shadow, maybe they're out of stock

Tonight's BeerBods offering is an interesting one. Toast - Pale Ale. https://beerbods.co.uk/this-weeks-beer/toast-ale

They use waste bread from bakeries and sandwich factories and use it replace a third of the grain that would normally go into the beer. Not only that, but the profits go to Feedback

Judging by the recipe on their website - www.toastale.com/toast-ale-recipe/ - it's sounds like an easy drinking, flavourful hoppy little blighter.

It's also a BeerBodsPlus night tonight, and that looks like it's going to be Brussel Beer Project - Baby Lone, which uses a similar concept from a Belgian craft brewery, whom Toast were inspired by.
