I'm taking them with a shit phone undoubtedly. Also I don't think I let it focus on that last one at all so maybe it's extra bad.
They're like beer hostage photos, which is what they deserve at this point.

Isn't that the point of a thumbnail?

I'm having this. It's weird but I'm not against it.
Think I've got some Northern Monk things I'll have a try of later, in a break from the wurstenfestbier. A rocket lolly type thing and maybe some sort of custard one [maybe the Rhubarb one Baz was on about ages ago].
Edit - Fruit Crumble.
And a Tiny Rebel Pineapple Express.
Might be a bit of a sweetness overdose. Had a Tiny Rebel lemonade inspired IPA the other day and I found it a bit lemony.
Please review the Fruit Crumble. Apparently it’s only £1.69 in Sainsbury’s.
Will do.
Rocket Lolly has, perhaps unsurprisingly, bowled in smelling and tasting a bit too much like Vimto, or perhaps Tizer, or maybe even Um Bongo.
Well that sounds amazing.
Perhaps, not as a beer for me though.
As for the crumble, well, die oktoberfesten review is in an here it is.
It's very fruity [pink] in appearance. Taste is quite sour, but has that creamy lactose taste which I guess is meant to be the custard. Overall it's quite light in taste terms, but if you like that pink Hoegaarden one [does that exist] or things like that then this might be for you.
Appearance: PINK [3/5]
Taste: 3/5
Aroma: 4/5

Rocket Lolly is not good.
I warned you.
Yeah, I was spreading my bets on which it tasted like [I assume all three of those I listed don't taste the same, I'm not a regular consumer of any of them].
Tizer is the secret best pop, but they don’t do a sugar free version (afaik) so I never have it either.
I did learn Tizer is made in Cumbernauld, which was of passing interest as where it's my Scotch family reside [good god what a place]. Good to hear they haven't gone down the Irn Bru route [although I don't mind Irn Bru Extra or whatever it is],
Extremely pleased with my festbier. Been sitting in a keg since July.
Do they still have [or did they ever have?] a roundabout with two large mounds that was locally know as looking like a giant pair of, well, . . . ?
Went to the Firebird Brewery this evening and it was pretty cool. Some decent beers although they didn't have any of their DIPA.
The only problem with these small brewery sites is that whilst I'm happy to pay £5+ a pint to have it in a venue, I don't really like paying an equivalent price for cans to take away.
Unbarred and Dark Star were similar.
I've just had 7 pints of Guinness and one large bottle of Guinness. The bottle is overrated.
I don't know if it was initial bad luck, or me becoming more accustomed to them, but the festbiers have really picked up since I stopped reviewing them.
Let’s say you’ve won an unspendable amount of money and for some unfathomable reason, you put a bar in your house.
What five pumps are you having?
Carlsberg was too easy pickings there to be going after San Miguel.
My 5 would be:
Rothaus Pils
Beamish Irish Stout
Pikeman Red Ale
Timothy Taylor Landlord
Treaty City Invasion
Raided the darks section at Sainsbury's and came away with a couple of Northern monks [Choc Ice Stout and what looks like a Black Forest Gateau type thing], a brew by numbers mocha porter and a wiper and true espresso stout or something.
The Choc Ice is alright. Maybe a bit sweet and light in ABV terms [4.5%] but drinkable.
Wouldn't having draft beer on tap in your own home be rubbish unless you got through heroic amounts of it?
You could probably buy the breweries.
That'd be the way to go, sod having your own bar, have your own pet brewery.
Well Tennents and Tennets Super obviously make the cut.....
The Brew by Numbers No. 10 Mocha Porter is pretty decent, as was the Wiper and True Espresso Martini Stout. I thought the choc ice was a bit too desserty, so the 8% Northern Monk Gateaux may not fare so well later on, although at that ABV I am hopeful.
Unless you’re drinking a couple of pints a night that’s a bit of a false economy right? Surely the stuff will just go off? Better off just having a massive fridge filled with bottles?
Sod buying into something like that too, you’d get sucked into stuff and hate it. Better to just go them with a stack of coin and ask them to brew you something unique surely?
Kopparberg raspberry on tap would be :drool:
Yeah, clear door fridges stacked with cans/bottles would clearly be a much better way to go [although apparently the going off thing doesn't apply to CO2 kegged stuff].
Yeah I can’t think of a legitimate reason to have FIVE pumps in your house, unless you’re Vincent Chase or something.
Foe talking about false economies in the 41m scenario. A true Scotsman.
The Northern Monk Black Forest Gateaux is good. Pretty heavy cake flavour, but boozy enough [8%] to get away with it.
Got a NEIPA by The Stewart Brewing Company or somesuch from Lidl.
It's a bit meh. Not terrible, but barely worth the £1.79 or whatever it cost.
That's the one.
Phoenix IPA and Broken Dream Nitro on ASDAs 4 for 3 deal. Weekend sorted. :drool:
Broken Dream. :drool:
Yeah, those two definitely make my 5 tap list if the standard is things that aren't super niche.
Got some fine German shit for this weekend :cool:
Neck Oil being in the majority of pubs nowadays is definitely an improvement.
As far as I can tell the beer is much the same but the price is now about £6.50 a go.
In Glasgow at least, but Glasgow's getting pricier for beers everywhere if you don't want to have to crowbar your feet off the floor of a pub.
