Fullers Past Masters Series

where did you get it? Hoping that it'll pop up in Sainsburys...

 

Mmm it sounds lovely. I always meant to try more Fullers beers as they were always on my doorstep.

 

Fullers is your neighborhood brewery. That's awesome.

The only thing on the tube here is The Walking Dead. Which does happen to kick ass.

 

Ruddy Hell! (it's soft cell) 15% discount is not to be sniffed at! And right on your doorstep? You'll 'Turnham Green' with envy!

 

Nice action. Very nice action.

 

I've never seen any of Fuller's more unusual output this far north. Although I might try and grab a 2011 Reserve from Waitrose when I'm there next.

 

I've only had 5 Fuller's varieties, but they have all been stellar. I imagine I could drink that brewer alone and be happy. Especially fresh on cask.

 

Sounds absolutely divine.

 

Yes, had this one and was pleasantly surprised. A real thick natural stout with all the flavor coming from the malts. Not as good as my fav from Samuel Smith but damn good!

 

There's currently just one other Past Masters beer: XX (though it's really XXK, for some reason the marketing people changed the name).

The third beer in the series will be brewed soon. It's something I've hoped they would brew since the project started.

 

Both the Double Stout and the Strong Ale were great. We were lucky to get a small shippment here in Amsterdam a while back. Fuller's makes some great brews, and the Past Masters series seems to be following suit.

Cheers,
Jeff

 

Are you sworn to secrecy Ron or might you be able to squeeze out a few drops of info on the third beer?

 

Jealous of all the delicious fuller's you can get in Europe. I was lucky enough to have their 2009 vintage ale, and absolutely loved it. I've been mostly drinking american craft beers, but recently have had a good amount of European brews as well and have not been disappointed at all. Jungle Jims in cinci, ohio makes it easy to get some of the over seas brews. Hobgoblin is probably my favorite Euro beer so far.

 

Really? Wow I never really thought Hobgoblin was anything special if i'm honest.

 

That's the thing though, we don't get anything from overseas fresh, there's never much variety, and what we get here can really be beaten by many of the American breweries. But yet I here all the time about these different euro beers that are just amazing, and it makes me wonder what I'm missing out on.
