They closed down Hornbeam brewery, moved production to Griffin Brewery, stopped production of Gales Bitter as it was more popular than London Pride along with other Gales ales.

Doesn't sound like they're going to interfere with any of the Dark Star lines whatsoever though. Hopefully that's the case - not moving the premises, not interfering with any of their brewing etc.

Dark Star are probably in my top 5 breweries in the country so I really hope the quality isn't affected but from what I've read, it sounds promising.

 

[leedswolf]

Dark Star are excellent.

Good work Gav!

Ordered that last night and woke up feeling like absolute dog shit this morning so I may be shelving the lot for a week. I’m sick of getting colds this winter.

 

[Nando]

I've got a cold and food poisoning combo. So fucked off.

 

[Boozad]

Fucking hell, puts my sore throat and shivers in the shade that does.

Never heard of them, sorry dude.

 

[Boozad]

Not heard of them either.

Cloudwater/Beavertown Good Night, Future Boy! - 6% IPL. Well impressed with this, first time I've bought a lager through choice for a few years and it hasn't disappointed. Proper refreshing pilsner, very grassy with plenty of melon and tea. Beavertown's stamp is all over this.

Partizan Tropical Rubicon Courage - 8.2% NEIPA. Pineapple and peach really hit you with this one, bags of Sorachi (WINNAH) and a clean, dry bitter finish. Banging.

 

[Tredman]

Grolsch, watery and a bit shit.

 

[The Bear]

And an awful aftertaste.
