Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

They are actually one of the most reliable breweries on the Bermondsey beer mile in terms of quality (second only to the Kernel) but they've always suffered because, up until recently, their brewery was too small to bottle or can their whole range so you could only drink a lot of their stuff at the brewery tap room. I'm very excited they've expanded and are now canning beer and getting it out there.

A lot of Belgian packaging design is bullshit but I don't let that stop me trying it.

A raunchy little number. Leans hard into the dark chocolate.

Yeah, let's see what dubtap comes back with in response to that zinger!

It does make you wonder if KatBalou'sPhone preferred working for A&H or prefers working for her now.

Nowt fancy, but it pairs with Conan the Barbarian perfectly.

The stuff of dreams. Rhubarb Gin in the garden listening to the increased motorway volume isn't quite cutting it the same.

The Red Hand in Dalston was selling 4 pints of a Verdant 8% DIPA or Deya Steady Rolling Man at £10 yesterday. If there’s any left I’m going to try to grab some later

Orchard pre lunch Stout, no deer or owl but some woodpecker.

Edit to add woodpecker

All gone in our local Tesco. Hope they get more.

Word must've got out to the craft drinkerz, it'll be close to top 50 of type on Ratebeer once it has enough reviews assuming they score similar.

To Ol Gose to Hollywood was a delight.
Gose ale brewed with oranges is their strap line, orange is the first thing you notice, then the saltiness and nice and tart.
5/7 is great.

This is, erm, interesting.

All good

Now on LHG All Together which is nice and tropical.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout as a nightcap. Tasty.

@hippy ahhhh haven't had a White Tips in so long, love that beer

Yeah, most of Siren's stuff is top notch. I'm not a massive fan of most 'session' beers but this was a good one.

I’ve never quite got the scores on these sites. Always seems low i.e. below 4 for beers that people are really positive about.

This was excellent

Excellent news - I bought a load from Tesco which is on fire with its beer at the moment.

I’m supporting our local offy too. I’m drinking so much beer that there’s plenty to go round.

Picked up a OG Hazy, Mr President and Roaster Coaster from Tesco, plus a few Hoegaarden as I was convinced it would be sunny today.

Tasty
