Most 'craft' breweries seem to change the design on their cans every other year or so for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to Joe Bananas bar and hot summer evenings. Ahhhh! Nostalgia. Not what it used to be. Edited November 8, 2021 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2021 That Camden Marmite Ale... it's not very marmite, I mean it tastes suspiciously of beer, it's like they've used it as a colouring OK, yes you can just about taste the marmite if you use your imagination but I suspect if you tasted it blind and were asked what it was flavoured with, you struggle to come up with Marmite. Having said that it sort of tastes a bit like the smell of yeast in a brewery tour and as marmite is just yeast anyway, it's just a dark yeasty beer. Its ok though but it does have a very dry aftertaste but I'd drink it again, I've tasted much worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not massively keen on this... seems a bit flat. Much preferred Layer Cake. Its not bad, just nothing special for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 My work as some sort of birthday thing from October had a box from Beer52 delivered today. 8 cans and a brief look at them, they all appear to be beer flavoured. As I am on a diet they won't be drunk for a while, regardless they are more than welcomed. Next time I go into the garage I will get a photo of the names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Saw this on offer in Sainos and wanted to make @Xela proud so I did a nice pic thing and everything! It’s lovely… but a bit summery and misplaced for this time of year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably either have them all under my table or they will be in the next couple of weeks, I'm still subscribed since last year, saving the next couple of boxes for Xmas now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted November 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2021 Margarita. Original recipe: Nothing but tequila, Cointreau, fresh squeezed lime juice and just a touch of simple syrup. Shaken over ice and strained. Not some sweet confection like you usually get at Mexican restaurants (do you have many of those in the UK?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's just not enough Mexican immigrants in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
