Beer

[Lycan]

Had a fair bash at the Magic Rock tap takeover in the Hogs after the game plus a cracking Blueberry and Coffee sour (can't remember who by), quality stuff. Tried Ian's BBNo/Hobsons BIPA as well which was really good.

Where were you standing in the Hogs? Saw you at the bar but then nothing.

Where were you standing in the Hogs? Saw you at the bar but then nothing.

We were right by the door on the left. A couple of us did venture outside but it was fucking packed so we just went back to where we were and watched the match. Saw you and Paddy leave walking past the window by where we were sitting.

 

[Boozad]

Yeah I was impressed by the beer in the Hogs. But try as I might, I just can't cope with the flavour of sours!

If I’d known I wouldn’t have got you to try it!

 

[Boozad]

Was meant to go to that last night but my mates cried off. Would have been all over that BIPA - got a real craving for them at the moment and there's hardly any around.

Oh for some Black Malts and Body Salts.

 

[machin05]

I'd do bad things for another bottle of this in my life....

 

[Boozad]

That is an absolute stunner.

Anyone tried this year's BrewDog prototypes? Wondering if it's worth the bother.

 

[leedswolf]

They never are.

 

[Boozad]

Can't remember the last time I ordered anything off Brewdog. The only interest I have left in them is the shares.

My local Morrisons has an excellent selection on right now in their 4 for £6.

Siren - Calypso Sour
Northern Monk - Rapscallion IPA
Six degrees North - Hopocrisy Pale Ale
Wild Beer - Pogo Pale Ale

Siren, Wild Beer and Nortgern Monk had lots of selections along with a few other breweries I'd not heard of but will try.

Some 440ml stuff for £3 too that looked excellent.

Just had a Random Rules - very good indeed.

 

[Boozad]

Doesn’t surprise me from Verdant, they’re still fucking ace.

I had one last week. Unsurprisingly good.

I've had a few of Guineu's beers whilst in Catalunya. Decent stuff.

The prices were excellent, I think only the second one was above four quid. Had to give them a try for that. Were they that cheap out there?

They would be about €4 - €4.50.
