Newcastle Founders/Summer Ale

Yeah lol I googled it and the first words that popped out were Heineken USA Worth a shot though I think, if I see it. Everybody's tesco seems to be stocking new beers except mine.

 

I've had the Founders. I think it has some hoppy piney notes blended into a Newcastle Brown. It's certainly drinkable.

 

Tempted but I haven't bitten yet.

 

Hmmm. Maybe, but I'm totally maxed out for beer space right now. Even my hiding places are bursting at the seems.

 

Its not just the managing that's the problem. Its the hypocricy of it all. I moan about BAs pontificating about cellaring their beer but I must have a couple of dozen bottles I won't touch because I actually do want them to benefit from a bit of age. God, the guilt...

 

Ha - I can relate! I have far too much beer, and the stuff I bought back from Belgium recently only adds to the problem....

For the OP - I've picked up both of these but haven't tried either yet.

 

I can't cellar anything, my dad's like a sniffer dog he always finds my stash. Even my xmas beers last year. He nicked a Mikkeller Porter, Pretty Things St. Botolphs Town, Sierra Nevada Stout & Porter, Struise Black Albert x 3, Williams Profanity Stout, Victory Storm King Stout, Odell Cutthroat Porter, Stone Smoked Porter and Rogue Mocha Porter. I was gonna have a very dark and tasty christmas but instead had one mostly filled with Marstons Burton Bitter and VB (and a Westy 12 ).

 

A clever decoy to protect that Westy 12.

 

Don't worry mate, the Westy never left my sight night or day

 

Did you wear it in a shoulder holster like a beer-guzzling James Bond?
