UK Weekend Beerage

Nothing special, but had a couple of each of...

Traquair - House Ale,

BrewDog - Electric India.

Enjoyed both while watching the football tonight.

Both from Aldi BTW.

 

The other beer rating website lists it as Simcoe with fresh ‘green’ Target hops. However, I did get a lot of floral and early notes, and I wouldn't have associated with those hops. It could be that they mix up the hops from year to year. I would like to see a really amped up fuggles/EKG IPA to see where that goes in the extreme. In any case, great beer and thanks for the tip off.

 

After a month off the juice I am about to embark on Beavertown: Lupuloid, Bloody Notorious and Peacher Man, followed by Ruination and a big can of Against the Grain DIPA. Wish me luck.

Lovely way to celebrate Oktoberfest apart from a trip to Munich. 5th taster was Buxton Ice Cream Brown Ale, a wonderful black style IPA with lactose.

 

Is this only Scotland ? My nearest supermarket is an Aldi and I cry every time I enter in respect of their beer range. Luckily there is a deli next door which does a great range of local brews.

 

I had a taste of it at a local beer festival the other day and would be surprised that it didn't have any US hops in it. However either way, it was a fantastic hoppy ale as you say.

 

Yeah, it's another Aldi Scottish beer festival, 3rd this year. They also have the very nice Six Degrees North - Honey Be Good.

Note to self...pick up some Honey Be Good tomorrow.

 

My weekend was Zwanze Day at the Kernel, so it was a bit above average: Cantillon Zwanze 2016, Cantillon St Gilloise, Kernel Pale Ale (simcoe), and Burning Sky Anniversary. No complaints at all...

 

It is lovely, had it in La Mort Subite.

 

Had a wee day out with Mrs.K as Morton didn't have a game. We walked 5 miles to The Corbie Inn and had...
Crossborder - Pale, light refreshing pale ale, lovely,
Courage - Director, old style ruby ale, again, very nice.

Got a taxi to Linlithgow, had...
Orkney - Dark Island, excellent dark ale with a slight bitterness,
Stewart - Ka Pai, beautiful golden ale with a hint of butter and caramel,
Fyne - Gold and Green, meh,

Bought a few beers to watch the Scotland game...not going well so far, the football, not the beer.
