GRcade Beer/Cider Club: The time has come to open your boxes! Except Dual, he is out of beer

Sorry to hear it didn't get delivered. If it does make its way back to me I'll post it on again.

True to its name, this is truly gold in colour!
Very refreshing and crisp this as well..gonna buy some more of this again!

Beer + "Larger" glass + The Division... that's a treble strike, LewisD. Glorious!

The Crail Ale and Mocha Porter are really good as well.

here are my beers (1 cider!) from chalky:

drunk these three while watching the FA cup final:

didnt really enjoy this - never been a fan of non-apple/pear ciders - shouldve mentioned that before i joined of course. no worries!

lovely Irish stouts - cant remember if i preferred one or the other :fp:

had these two while watching the champs league final - the stout was nice, but the white ale was fantastic, will definitely try and get more of it.

id like to do this at least twice a year but understand if others cant manage it regularly.

thanks chalky!!

Glad you enjoyed (most of) them. I included the cider just to mix it up and not have 5 beers. O'Hara's Irish Red is actually my favourite beer.

Banjo chose the flavour of the cider, btw. :shifty:

Good news: finally got the package off Nightline.

Bad news: the base was wet. So, I cracked it open and saw that the packaging was, uh...

...not great.

I also found the source of the dampness.

The survivors:

From left to right:
Hitachino Espresso Stout
Tiny Rebel Bo'ho
And Union Beast of the Deep
Hitachino Japanese Classic
Hitachino Amber Ale

An interesting mix. Looking forward to drinking them.

Beerhawk just asked me for feedback and reviews.

GOODIE.

Love Tiny Rebel, they do some amasing beers.

Just checked their website. £6.50 surcharge for Northern Ireland delivery?! :shock:

What a joke.

Also, am currently taking photos and drinking my way through my selection.

Photo journal, complete with hashtags, inbound.

It's daft really, especially when the delivery is so poor.

I hope you like the survivors. The Japanese ones I found not in Japan but in a craft beer and Fish and Chip shop in Hong Kong because that's totally a reasonable thing to find five minutes walk from your girlfriend's house. The Jever that broke was the first ever 'obscure' beer I ever had.

(Of the other two, one was on offer and the other had an awesome name :shifty:

)

Skarjo, did you have any of that Guinness shite while you were over in Dublin?

I did.

..It was beautiful.

Decent LewisD. Decent.

3 bottles each of the above liquid gold. They're all quite malty with various levels of coffee/chocolate flavours.

Fave is the IPA but that's like my number 1 beer style of all time. Drinking a good old boy in the sun as we speak with a sausage sandwich and I think its going to put me to sleep lol. Actually they're all good with food tbf.

Good selection. Would drink again. [9]

Can't wait! Thanks Dual!

Did you enjoy your drinks bro? Wanted your opinion on the bottle of X as I've not tried that one.

Yea, they were really strawberry floating good. I've got some photos to put up as soon as I've got a spare moment, but in a nutshell they were beautiful.

Muchos delicious.

Any interest in a winter version of this?
