Real Ale Thread

Not bad at all, I like the artwork on the lid.

Tesco are doing 3 for £21 on a variety of Ale 6 packs. Will definitley be taking advantage for my crimbo stash.

That's great, Errkal! Really good. Somebody told me beersofeurope.co.uk is good for beers?

We've just had some great beers come into the pub for the winter ale season; some gorgeous blondes.

This is my favorite time of year for beers, winter beers tend to be so much more interesting.

Am going to a winter festival in Dover in February, really looking forward to it! All beers are 5% and up and it is open 1pm to 11pm, it may go a bit wrong!

Beervent Calendar day 1

Delirium Tremont 8.5%

[Rocsteady]

Can barely drink anymore but love a bottle of Loch Lomond, nice citrus-y blonde beer.

[TheWay]

First seasonal beer: Woodforde's Tinsel Toes. Nothing special. Generic pale ale.

Tried a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon Ale today. Nothing special and I wouldn't get it again.
5/10.


Tried Doom Bar last week and wasn't overly impressed with it but I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle as it seemed a bit flat. Is that the norm for it?

I've never thought of it as "fizzy" - it's much flatter than, say, a Golden Glory.

Doom Bar is just a really good session ale. It hasn't got a spectacularly unique flavour, but it's a really well executed and tasty beer. It's quite expensive though

you guys the CRATE brewery near hackney wick does amazing brews fyi

I shall have to look them up.

[Errkal]

I'm hoping that someone stocks it online

I've been there.

Bit late on a Saturday night when we arrived and the beer selection was limited but good - we never found out why. Cool place though - lots of Hackney types about D:

Brooklyn Brown Ale 5.6%

3.5 / 5 - Alright flavor but a bit dull for a 5.6% beer.

Actually pretty cheap round by me and I'd agree that's a good session ale. Easy to drink quite a lot however.

4/5 - Nice beer, interesting flavor. Good American craft beer.

[Errkal]

4/5 - Best Leffe I have had, shame its not available more.

[Errkal]

4.5/5 - I love a good white beer!

[smurphy]

You ever tried Leffe 9? It's some potent gooseberry fool. Real good though.

[Errkal]
