Cloudwater definitely found their niche, the innovators of that type in this country.

CW are very good at producing low ABV 'Table' beers too.

I’d happily pay £6.70 for a pint of Weird Beard DIPA, top class stuff.

Great Heck - Styrian Dragon. Decidedly average.

That's pretty much the standard price if you can find a bar selling it in Brugge. Never seen it in the supermarket's there but most speciality beer shops there sell it. It's very similar to the Rochefort beer anyway as they outsourced some production of it to them in the past.

As for the beer price debate I caused last night, I wouldn't pay that back in Wolverhampton. As I'm in Bristol this week I thought I'd give it a go. One thing I do like here is that I can order a pint of something 8.4% but I could also have had 1/3 or 2/3 too. I think I'm responsible enough to decide what volume of alcohol and quantity I can handle, I will say however that I did sleep rather soundly last night for the most part.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't suggesting you couldn't handle a pint of 8.4% DIPA! My point was that it's a bit obfuscating to judge the price of that type of beer by extrapolating the price from the appropriate serving volume, up to a pint.

Eh?

Eh?

£7.20 isn't expensive for a pint of 8.4% DIPA because, IMO, it's a drink more suited to servings of 1/2 which is a far more palatable £3.60, which in turn, is a price that I guess most people would be happy to pay for a pint of 4.2% beer.

Thanks for the plain English reply [emoji6]

Keen to know how the DDH Black IPA is.

 

[Boozad]

I’m looking forward to that one, it looks interesting. Considering I used to steer clear of Wylam I’m all over their stuff lately.

Their can releases have been mega.

I'm on a much more reasonably priced drink this evening. Tucher helles hefe weizen in the commercial rooms Bristol.

They have mate, they seem on a completely different level to stuff like Jakehead and Hickey the Rake.

They sell Arbor in there. Get on it.

I did look at the 2 Arbor offerings, one was a stout (not a fan these days) the other was Oz bomb. Had a disappointing evening beer wise including a rather flat pint of Peroni. Of which I've never had a bad pint in my life.

 

[Nando]

Oz Bomb is tremendous. Get back in there tomorrow!

Where did you have the peroni?

 

[machin05]

Oz Bomb is a beaut.

Peroni was in the Crown, they seemed to be having a problem with the c02 as everything they were serving looked flat. We were in there last night and it was fine so something going on.

I vaguely recall having Oz bomb in the commercial rooms before as I think it's one of their staples.
