UK Weekend Beerage

Not bad for £9 though for that lot to be fair. Looking forward to getting mine later today.

 

Fourpure Pils - quite lovely really. Quite a full body which is nice for a lager, plus a good bite of hops, spicy and fruity. Shame it'd be £12 or so for a 6 pack from m&s.

 

I'd even rate it higher than the Buxton Wild Boar I followed it with. All citrusy hops and no substance...

 

I also had my Five Points Railway Porter which is really an excellent low abv stout. Drinkable and really very tasty.

Followed by Howling Hops Running Beer brown ale. Wanted to improve on the smoked Porter so I thought I'd add depth and pay tribute to their tank bar by stirring up all the sediment and plunking it all in. Really good thick malts propping up citrusy and resinous hops, like a low abv dipa almost.

 

Another Fourpure Pils, this is the one from my honest Brew box. It seems a lot maltier, which I first thought to be indicative of it not being as fresh, however the bbd says July 16, whereas Tuesday's can was June 16, so unless they changed dating systems or have poor consistency, maltier seems to mean fresher. Might try and get some more from the same batch tomorrow to continue the investigation...

 

Beavertown Neck Oil - bit of a weedy affair. I'm getting a bit bored of these "session IPAs".

 

Starting the evening with a Wild Beer Co Wild Goose Chase pale ale with Gooseberries. I think it might be an old bottle/bad batch - vague tartness, dry but with a dull malt taste and a short finish. No head but quite pale and cloudy.

 

Another flat beer, I'm on an unfortunate roll. Thankfully Billericay Brewing Company's Billericay Zeppelin still tastes nice, an interesting light bitter with quite a nice smokiness to it.
