Welcome back lovers of great beer. Shopping in Asda, I spy a chocolate porter? Yes please, but hold on a second, marshmallow too, not so sure about that… According to the label, it’s brewed with sp…
Stu’s gone full dessert goblin this time with Sweet Summer Crumble from Naryensztadt Craft Brewery
A 4.2% Smoothie Beer that sounds like someone looked at an actual crumble and thought:
“Yeah… but what if this got us slightly tipsy?”
Although the final session of the beer festival finished on Saturday evening, here is - belatedly - my final completed list from the five days of the event. As you can see, I only really drink the cask ales: I hold the key keg beers in contempt (although I did have a single sip of one from my friend’s glass!)
I have a very simple scoring system: I try to sample every beer, so only drink in half pints. Each time I try a beer, I tick it off (any further halves gain extra ticks accordingly) and this represents a default score of three stars. A cartoon ’thumbs up’ promotes this to a four star tasting, as a ‘thumbs down’ demotes to two stars. The word ‘Yuk!’ relegates a beer to a single star as ‘Yum’ allocates a full five star rating. The acronym ‘BOF’ signifies the beer that received my vote as the best of festival.
I'm at the final session of my local beer festival and I thought that the entertainment laid on was a rather superb Belgian jazz combo, but apparently, a 60s covers band was just doing a sound check
"in a world full of ultra-hazy hop bombs, can a “Very English” IPA still stand out from the crowd?"
