Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

5 years ago I described it as "Delicious if a bit strange."

I wonder what I'd make of it now.

Obviously at 6.2% I am going to choke it down, but it is abhorrent

You absolute trooper!

I've got a variety of goses from my Brew by Numbers subscription box that I'm not that keen on. Anyone interested in swapping for some other beer? I'm generally round Turnpike Lane or Warren Street or could post for about a tenner. This kind of thing:

Love a Gose! A Gooseberry (Goseberry?) one was particularly nice: I reckon the Kiwi, Pear & Lime will be lush.

I've got some alcohol-free Mikkeller that are beyond disgusting and I'm Ipswich: we're halfway to a deal I think.

I had the Solero last week. Was nice and not too sickly sweet.

Did By The Horns shut down or just their taproom?

They now have a bar in the Wimbledon stadium called The Pheonix that is open to the public on non-match days instead of the tap room. I think most of the brewing has now been relocated further out of town.

Now I’m in Hanoi for a few days I switched up the beers from brewery taproom to cheap bia hơi. Delicious.

Currently appreciating my own Belgian/ trappist style beer. 8.4% not for a school night...

Nice. Looks like a dubbel, admittedly a bit stronger than usual though. Or maybe a slightly under-strength quad?

Got plenty of bottles if you want to try ?

Ah cool. Yeah, that'd be great. Can offer a bottle of quad (10.8%) or Bretted Belgian pale (6.2%) in return.

If no-one else is interested I can put them in the post for you if you cover postage. I'll pass on the alcohol-free Mikkeller though

That's very kind and I'll take you up on that, but I'll square you up for the beer as well as post.

And yes, passing-on the Mikkeller is the right thing to do. :)

Happy for you to make whatever forum donation you feel appropriate for them. Drop me a PM with your details

£3.29 Aldi, quite tasty, 750ml @ 6%
