Broken Dream was this year's CAMRA Champion IIRC.

Yep. It's a lovely beer.

 

[leedswolf]

Yep. It's a lovely beer.

It is (for a stout).

 

[machin05]

Oh, and the trio of free beers from the Honest Brew Loyalty section were:

Wiper & True - Quintet (IPA)
North Brewing - Sputnik (American Pale)
Unity - Fraction (DDH Table Beer)

 

[Tredman]

Had a Dutch IPA Pilsner last night. It was rank, this was much better

The secret selection I got was:

Wild Beer - Sleeping Limes (Lime salted lager)
Northern Monk - Eternal (Session IPA)
Five Points - XPA (Extra Pale Ale)
Siren - Broken Dream (Coffee Stout)
White Hag - The White Sow (Oatmeal Chocolate Milk Stout (although the packing note said Nitro Milk Stout))
Siren - Cradle of Culture (Sour DIPA)
Hanssens - Oude Gueze
Mondo - Man From Dunkel
Amundsen - Double Apocalypse (NE DIPA)

Pretty happy with that for £20 tbf. Some interesting beers, and the filler is pretty decent too.

Exactly the same as me then!

Apart from the 3 that are different, yeah :icon_wink:

I had exactly the same.

In the Beer Merchants box there is,

3 Lervig Perler For Svin NE IPA
3 Kona Longboard (Lager)
3 Kona KokoBrown (Coconut Brown Ale)
3 Kona Big Wave (Holden Ale)
2 Collective Artists Ransack the Universe (IPA)
2 Collective Artists Jam up the Mash (Dry hop sour)
1 Kriek cherry
3 Pauliner Oktoberfest specials
1 Floris Passion (white tropical fruit beer - never heard of it)
1 Oedipus Pais Tropical (IPA)
2 Musketeer Run Through a field of wheat (WIPA)

I've had the Kona stuff before and it's very meh and dissappionted to get 9 out of 24 from the same brewery.

Same beers for me but different quantities, plus I also got a passion fruit wheat beer by Floris.

Having my first one from the Beer Merchants box - Perler for Svin. Decent, if unexceptional, IPA

Found a bottle of Thornbridge Eldon oak aged imperial stout in the cupboard the other day, think I bought a pack of them the last Christmas I was at my parents so it's two years old now, not sure whether to save it for Christmas or just drink it tonight.

It'll be lush, that's for sure.

I had that one last night. Very juicy, but I thought it lacked the sharpness and bitterness that balances out that kind of beer.

The Collective Arts beers that we in the box have been the standouts for me, especially the IPA - phenomenal west coast hop assault!

Definitely. Had the Ransack the Universe after and it was much better, really nice crisp taste. Big can too

Wiper & True - Red Orange Ale.

Absolutely stonking. Picked a bottle up from the local off license a few weeks back but will be going in for some more before Christmas.

 

[Boozad]

Thought I'd order some beer to celebrate that win and stock up for Christmas, found £110 beer credits in HB. Bonus.

Holy fuck balls [emoji44]

 

[Boozad]

Sadly they won't last until Christmas.

 

[Tredman]

Mash up the Jam Sour from the Beer Merchants box is really good.

I always think I really like a Sour, but by the end I've had enough. Not this time surprisingly.

 

[b3h]

Any good sites other than HonestBrew for a one time order? My last one was last Xmas!

£10 off anything over £29 via Bluelight card on HB so I can use that.

I need some To Ol Sur Mokueta in my life.

Beermerchants are decent and Beer52 have just launched their online shop.
