UK Weekend Beerage

Black Sheep's All Creatures
possibly the best beer I have had from them
having said that I've not been impressed by any of them even on cask.

This however finally proves there is a point to the Black Sheep Brewery.

 

Asda Extra Special (needs) Mainbrace IPA
(1,000,000 chufty points if you can guess the other 2 that made up my 3 for £5)
the bottle says Complex & Refreshing, the taste has the depth of a politician's sincerity
and it smells of puke.

In other news my local Tesco has replaced the Brain's Craft beer on sale
it was Boilermaker
it is now Barry Island IPA

 

which one?

 

I was actually tempted to try the flavoured Old Tom
and just realised I had put one of them (black sheep) in my previous post

 

Sharing a Mann's Brown Ale with the casserole I am making
was it always 2.8%? I mean in the last 20 years
I think some of these beers that have been reduced in strength to get tax relief really shouldn't have been taken below 3.2%
but to be honest cannot recall the strength of Mann's but can remember it being very unimpressive to
a 18 year old (slightly strength by volume obsessive) Bevis.

 

Gales HSB
good stuff, really good stuff

 

Hook Norton's Haymaker above average.... good even
but Wincle have a beer of the same name that packs a lot more flavour for 1% abv less
and is bloody great

 

Tasty stuff

 

Butcombe's Brunel IPA, structurally it's sound.
