Bibble is decent enough. I'm currently having this baby from Wild Beer.

Cask Bibble is absolutely delicious. A completely different beverage to keg/can.

Bibble is class.

Went round me dad's earlier after watching the match on a Punk session (I know I know, but it's pretty decent for a local boozer compared to the other shit on offer) and he gave me a Wychwood Porter (which was disgusting) and a Dog of Two Head (which was better than the Wychwood but not something I'd ever want again).

I wonder how he has his orange juice? Pulp or no pulp?

Picked up a few bottle from the aldi beer promotion today, one, Dark Star Hophead, is very decent.

Another regular on the shelves at Aldi recently is a Black Sheep Velo, A fruity pale ale which IMO shades the Hophead (that I've also been buying) as a better drink.

I've been buying lots of the Holden's one they are doing. Very nice beer. Got a black sheep to try later with the football too.

It's not bad but it's a bit of an odd one for me. It's like a Wit beer in that is has orange peel and corriander but doesn't have any wheat or belgian yeast, so it's a bit halfway house on the flavour profile and feels incomplete and unbalanced. It's got that nasty earthy Black Sheep twiggy ale yeast flavour, which I don't really like anyway, but it clashes with the American hops,and Belgian Wit adjuncts. Easy to drink though and a decent fruity flavour.

Get it while you can - the Holdens bottling plant has gone into shutdown due to the CO2 crisis...

New micropub opening just down the road from me. https://www.expressandstar.com/news...old-wolverhampton-bank-will-create-five-jobs/

I had the idea of turning into a craft beer bar as soon as I noticed it had closed as a bank. It used to be HSBC, so I was going to reverse the initials and call it:

Craft Beer Served Here

Didn't think it would ever get off the ground though as there's fuck all parking there and it's already a nightmare with the amount of on road parking.

Look forward to it opening though. End of July.

I've had quite a few of those Boozad. The 2 from NMBCo are stand outs.

 

[Boozad]

Looking forward to those, I saw you put up a post of the Moobin’ and I just had to get one.

I've ordered 6 x cans of Axe X from Buxton Brewery which should be arriving today. Love the stuff.

Also went to a food & drink festival in my local village (Abingdon) last weekend and the local brewery Loose Cannon had a stall there. They were selling their session IPA in cans, so I got a six pack of them and have been polishing them off this week while watching the World Cup. Usually Loose Cannon stuff is a tad on the bland side, but this is very nice http://www.lcbeers.co.uk/beers/session-ipa-2/

Had a loose cannon IPA yesterday, not sure which one but was really good. Hadn't heard of them before.

After a week of drinking shitty San Miguel (it was fucking roasting over there so at least it was cold...) I'm basking in the Stourbridge sunshine enjoying a pint of Bathams.

It's fucking lovely.

Very tiny little brewery in a tiny little town. They literally just have one small unit on an industrial estate. Where did you come across their stuff?

It was in the Euston Tap - I usually try one I've never heard of and that was the one yesterday.

The Euston Tap is awesome.
