    I tried a sip of it. It's.... not really a beer as I recall. I mean they're calling it one and it technically is but I remember it being nice enough in it's own way but a bit of a stunt.

    That said my tastes have changed quite a bit since then.

    I've always found Lagunitas to be bang average. Maybe because it's the sort of thing you typically find in beer tents as the fancy option.

    I think Sierra Nevada was the beer that opened my eyes to the world of non-dreadful non-lager beers, back in early 2005.

    That was where I went next. Remember drinking their pale ale, california, and the narwhal stout for ages before going onto the local stuff. I think KPA was the main one of those back then.

    Just seen an email from Brewdog charging £10.95 for one 330ml bottle. I wouldn’t pay that for Serena Williams ice cold piss, nevermind a bottle of beer.

    Lagunitas is ok as a first beer but if you have it after a proper hoppy ipa then it tastes like lager piss.

    That was Sierra Nevada for me. I was blown away that beer could taste like that.

    EDIT: Looks like @niko_cee and I share an epiphany beer.

    EDIT2: Josh’s criticism is probably fair, although honestly I’ve come back around to appreciating a reliable IPA after drinking loads of poorly-executed hop juice.

    I think Josh is being a bit harsh. Lagunitas wouldn't be a go-to for me a lot of the time but it's nice.

    I don't think I had a beer epiphany really other than maybe my first beer festival in Paisley but there isn't one beer that started my magical journey from crap lager as a student to drinking stouts that taste of waffles and bacon.

    Yeah they’re Heineken. Not sure how much it affected their product, etc though.

    A couple of ones here that were bought out were let just run away as they had been with no interference.

    For me it's more the fact that there's so much decent beer out there I'd rather support the smaller guys. It's decent though

    I’d be the same too. I try to buy something from here all the time these days and there’s plenty of choice to be able to do that anyway. We’ve probably way too many “craft” breweries for such a small country. There’s over a hundred vying for a 2.5% market share between them all.

    Speaking of gateway beers, with everyone drinking at home there’s been some increase in breweries putting out lagers to try grab a few of the Heineken crew. You’ll change one of them much quicker than you’ll change a Guinness drinker.

    I havent dabbled myself just saw the debate unfold in a group I'm in. Still got a kit I need to start. Have been caning spirits recently though as they are diet friendly.

    Jesus fucking Christ on a donkey.

    Small Pony Barrel Works’ Half Remembered Dream might be the best beer I’ve had since the day I nearly broke apart Josh’s marriage.

    Link here: https://www.smallponybarrelworks.com...membered-dream

    I was intrigued (and also a little put off) at the seeming pretentiousness of the tasting notes being in poem form, but this is an absolutely smashing sour.

    EDIT: @Josh come to think of it, it’s reminiscent of something we had at Grimm.

    Managed to pick up some White Hag Heather Sour which is normally like gold dust they make it in such small quantities.

    €8 for 375ml though

    What one?

    I've had a couple of nice things. Best was "Sadako" by Weird Beard. Imperial stout with honey and shit through it. Good stuff.

    There’s a thing on the top that you twist which I presume gasses it or something. Wonder would half of it even be ok the next day.

    Aren't those things usually good for a day or two (although also, don't you have to tap them a day in advance)? I'm sure I had a ghost ship one which I largely borked because I had no idea what I was doing. Ended up having to do it in one.
