UK Weekend Beerage

I like a bit of port, know nothing about it though

Trying another sainsburys gbbh beer, Williams The Honey Thief. Better than gonny no brew that in the bottle, at least there is a bit of lemony bitterness on the end this time good thing too as it starts pretty sweet. Can taste the honey . It's not bad , can't see it winning though.

 

Scored a case of unlabelled Quinta de noval from work at cost price. Wish I hadn't been so generous with it as I'd still have some now 20+ years later.

 

Querkus smoked oak porter. Both the smoke and the oak are subdued thankfully, a good porter at first but it drops off after a few becomes a bit oily in the mouth.

 

That should be "a few mouthfuls"

 

Hop Sausage! Amazing.....

I've had a Sucky beer, and am now on Brewdog's Mette-Marit. Not too shabby.

 

Westy 8 soon. Last night, Pannepot Gran Reserve 2008.
I'm feeling flush.

 

good stuff


Had Harbour IPA from the gbbh, best so far nice hoppyness.

Certainly worth a taste.

Also Batemans English B Bock. Not bad, rather sweet would be nice in a smaller bottle, bit much for 500ml. But lots of dark sugary flavours and a touch of sourness.

So far I'm reasonably impressed with the gbbh beers, they aren't exactly going to worry any craft beer shops but it's nice to be able to get some beers I've not had before from a major supermarket. They should really run this every quarter. Actually all the supermarkets should do this every quarter.

 

Yeah still got that to go, it was one of the more interesting ones. Will try it in the next day or two

 

Freeminer's Goldminer (old)
Harviestoun's Wild Hop Gold
I&G Rum Cask

 

Probably a Hardknott Granite 2011. Was hoping to hold onto it but I'm running out of storage space.

 

Harbour Porter No 6

Very good porter. lots of nice coffee falvours. I'll be picking up a bunch more, I've not tried all the gbbh beers yet but if this wins then I wouldn't be surprised
