A solid effort. 7/10 WB I know that it’s rather me than you but I quite often hear people/friends/family saying 6% beers are quite strong while I’m knocking back 8%ers. Jesus. ^ that is a pretty nice beer by the way. The choice in normal shops now is extraordinary. Pick up some Mikkeller from an M&S if you have the chance.

I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking anyway. I can feel one can go to my head! All my purchases so far have been either Morrisons or Sainsburys. There is a Waitrose and M&S nearby so will try them out soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the doppy bird I was dating at the time asking if England were playing that evening due to the fact we were signing England songs, and then being amazed when I pointed out that Wrexham was in Wales. Her lack of geographical knowledge was bad enough, but made even worse by the fact we had made a day of it so had been down there since about 11:00. God knows how she missed the flags/accents etc. I also remember the Wrexham fans throwing bottles/bricks from the bridge onto the villa fans at the station. Scumbags.

Xela Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Current scoop Not bad. Easy to drink and quite fresh. Quite hoppy. 6.5 /10 Would possibly bang again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'll second @fightoffyour's recommendations of Mikkeller beers, especially these two, which are very much God Tier IMO: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waitrose sell little creatures bottles of pale ale....not cheap - circa £2.30 a 330ml bottle but it is one of WA's if not Australia's best beers..............sorry, i meant "ales" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes, i know it sounds a bit ghey but it was very nice, as was their rhubarb and custard cider. Tonight, I'll be sampling strawberry and cream cider. Not sure about the parma violet one or the toffee apple but will give it a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Been having some The Kurayoshi Sherry Cask now and then lately. It hasn't got the best reviews, but I quite like it. I'm a bit of a Nikka Barrel fan boy, so I had to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of peach flavours but I wanted to try a sour beer and this was the first I saw at Sainsburys. An interesting drink, I'd have it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
