BrewDog – Avery Brown Dredge
BrewDog are becoming a favourite of mine. They remind me of the great US breweries that not only produce great beers but obviously have a hugely great time doing so. Today is an Imperial Pilsner, a style I can’t quite recall having before…
Tesco Finest – Single Orchard Cider
I confess to flirting too much with wine for the past month or so and neglecting all things beer and cider. (For those interested I’m currently in to Malbec, deliciously dry and full bodied with a full bodied character and plenty of fruity elements). Back to the beer/cider. I’ve tended to steer away from super...
Riegele – Commerzienrat
It is safe to say that the Riegele brewery can trace its roots back a long way. The Riegele brewery itself was founded in 1884 in the city of Augsburg, approx 70 km West of Munich. By way of early disclosure, when I lived in Augsburg this was one of my favourite breweries and I...
Henney’s – Vintage (2010) Cider
Long story, but I’ve been off the booze and on a healthy diet for the past month. Before I started I managed to sneak in a cider. Best thing is that as it is fast approaching Christmas it will soon be time to finish the diet and hit the boxes of beer that are...
Brew Dog – Alice Porter
Probably about time I did a Brew Dog. And a porter. And try new angles for the photos, maybe with some back lighting…
Paulaner – Salvator
Direct from Germany, via a journey of several hundred of whichever distance you prefer, comes Paulaner Salvator, a doppelbock which seems to rate quite highly with the beer ratings sites.
Goose Island – Matilda (2011)
Its been a while since I wrote anything so it makes some sort of sense to revisit one for my favourites – and if really pressed to come up with the only beer I could have this would be on the short list. So, making the most of a recent visit to US by a...
Titanic Brewery – Stout
There’s this fabulous food shop I pass every day on my way home. Since it serves international trains it has to satisfy a wider range of very demanding tastes, and they certainly excel when it comes to wines and beers. This season’s brewer is Titanic brewery from the potteries. My hope is that they bring...
Fuller’s – London Porter
At one time there was an intention to find more Porters, this didn’t really work out and the last time a Porter graced these pages was back in February (which really was rather good).
