You got the full 12? And if not which ones didn't you get?
Had Chew Chew before and it's ace.

I got 8 - just the pale ale kinda stuff. Currently on some 'Easy Peeler' from Four Pure, which is right up my street.Yeah, I got my crate today too.

I really like Four Pure. I started with them on the beer mile and worked my way in.
Fallen's Double Barrelled Chew Chew is the good shit.
John Smith's. I love weak pissy bitter.
Blacks of Kinsale's new Marching Powder IPA is really nice.
I've had a few really good ones recently. One an IPA called "Close To Dangerously Stupid Amount of Kiwi" and the name was pretty much spot on. Also Fallen's "Double Barrelled Chew Chew - Red Wine Edition."
Castillo del Diablo is probably my go to red at the moment.
You probably mean Casillero del Diablo.
Yes.
Edit: no, Campo Viejo.

In Spain so of course I'm in a bar specialising in Italian craft beer. Some really good stuff so far though.
I tried to wind Ian up once by telling him thats my favourite drink and he just took it in his stride. What a beast
Not even close.
I don't remember that but it sounds like the sort of heroic shit I'd pull.
Edit: out the way, Pep.
Was in the middle of a lazytown session to be fair. No time to stop and think.
Cherno.

What is the deal with those black can holder things Brewdog (in particular) seem to be fans of? I assume it's an environmental thing, but then why have they made them black (the least recyclable plastic colour)? They're also an absolute pain in the arse to liberate the beers from as well. Long live the Seagull killers.
I'm sure there's logic to it but you're right, they're a total pain.
I'll always stop and think for beer.
Just realised that makes it sound like we were watching a kid's TV show together with some beers. We were actually shooting bastards with big guns.
I immediately went to you two on one of those lazy rivers that run round the outside of water parks.
Having a Tuborg.
Basically eliminated weekday drinking, and have a vague unwritten rule that I get 4 pints tipsy every other weekend and allow myself to GET ON IT every other weekend. "Had" to get gin as a substitute for some stupid chinese cooking wine, and rejected the £3 miniature cus it was awful value for money and thought to myself "it's probably a false economy if i end up needlessly drinking it on weekday evenings, but I'll be alright". Obviously I'm on my 3rd double of the evening, but fuck it. G&T weather, ennit?
Also does anyone else suffer with ale hangovers? I can drink gallons of spirits or cheap lager and be alright the next day, but last friday I had four sub-4% ales and had a fucking stonker all Saturday. I even showered, ate well, and went on a long walk in the sunshine but I was still hanging out my arse when I went to bed.
There's your problem. You need grease and salt.
I sorta did both. Lots of fruit and veg and shit in the early afternoon didn't sort it, neither did the "ultimate chicken burger" with bacon and hashbrowns and shit. I think I might have had a dodgy pint but fuck knows.
Sounds more like you got a pint from dirty pipes than a hangover.
Aye I think you might be right, two of them were from a proper grimy grebby shithole where they probably never bother cleaning the ale lines cus everyone drinks strongbow and black.
Mango Rubicon
Lychee is the superior Rubicon.
Essential if you've been smoking. The lychee one is great, think I preferred the pomegranate one though.
Rockshore, latest attempt at a lager from the people at Guinness. It's awful.
Elderflower thistly cross cider.
Not as good as I remembered, unfortunately. It's solid, but not great.
Had some bottles from Little Wolf in my Beer52 box this month, from Sith Ifrica. Heavenly stuff. Straight into my favourite beers list.
My parents went to Greece and after years of dodgy presents from my Mum this year my Dad stepped up as present buyer.
Came back with 6 bottles of Mythos for me and the same for @Baz
They have pull tops which are the future and aren’t bad at all. Rather be in the beach sipping it though.
I had a High Viz earlier. Savage nice for a strong one.
I'm off to Pie & Brew for lunch on Friday followed by the Glasgow Real Ale Festival. S'gonna be good.
Shiiiiiiiiii.
100%

A nice bottle of Bath Gem, very pleasant.
I had a feed of Yellowbelly Citra last night. Nice strong flavour for only 4.8%.
In a pub in England and they have Hop House 13 in their craft beer section. Is it common enough over here?
It’s pretty common, yeah. Two of my locals do it.
It's regarded as swill at home, though I find it oddly different in a lot of places. Most varying beer I've ever tried. The couple today were once but I'm enjoying some nice Worthingtons now.
I’m not a fan.

The Mrs is drinking some cider called Apple County and it's fucking gorgeous. Dangerous nice.
Whereabouts in England are you?

Hop House 13 is okay and no more.
Wales.Whereabouts in England are you?
I quite like HopHouse.
I had that in Derby. It's great.
