Its on my list to go to! Once I have my jabs to go to south Brum i'll check it out. Wasn't it rated best beer shop in the UK by ratebeer? Some accolade! I think 2nd in the list was Stirchley Wines about half a mile down the Pershore Road. Have you been to that one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Stirchley Wines is also really good. It's a bit smaller, and the collection is perhaps a bit less extensive, but still lots of really good stuff. I have to ration my visits to those two, cos I usually end up spending about £60 each time I go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Cheers boss. That tangerine beer, surprised by its taste. Not a strong orange flavour, it is there, but very passable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be my drink of choice, then same with most alcohol I did the majority of my drinking at the football where there were plenty of bad ciders on offer and not many good ones, chemicals in a plastic cup has killed it for me, did get back in to it a bit when strongbow released cloudy apple and thatchers followed it up with haze but even that's died off now, its become the coward option when you know the session will be a bad one (dark fruits is a stag do day 2 staple) Need to try the new strongbow flavour and I will try a new fruit one if I see it but plain old English apple cider is done for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the bizarre flavours work in cider as much as beer. Never been a fan of Magners either. Thatchers Haze is nice though.

Davkaus Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I've opened a bottle of Tynt Meadow today, which I think is the only trapist ale brewed in the uk. As good as any dubbel to come out of Belgium, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
