Went through the aldi range last Thursday. Ghost dance, Wild Bills and Medusa red stood out.

Dunno what to call it, but just made a delish IPA  from scratch, including, for the first time, using only home grown hops 

 

 

 

Used Challenger hops, open to naming suggestions for the beer...

I’ve heard it doesn’t identify as a lager.

 

Had a can of The Lifers by Omnipollo last night, I can’t say it was very beery but wow, tastes like a bag of skittles

Smashing Pumpkins from Welbeck Abbey brewery yesterday. Like drinking a Christmas Pudding, delicious.

 

Went to watch Chesterfield v Chorley yesterday amd was surprised by how many good pubs/micropubs there were near to their new ground.

On Friday I had an unbelievable pint after work at the Fox and Grapes in Nottingham, Northern Monk and North Riding collab, a milk stout around 6% but barely tasted alcoholic, Don't Mess With Udders.

 

Herbert Kilpin had Northern Monk's Festive Star on too, glorious stuff.

I had a Northern Monk Cherry Coke sour the other week, average unfortunately.

That Festive Star is lovely as are most of their dark beers, the Mocha porter they put out is lovely - but my mate had a very sessionable IPA by them, about 2.8%, called Striding Edge (I think, if not then something similar) and it was genuinely one of the worst beers I've ever tasted, and not for the lack of alcohol (I don't mind a fair few non alcoholic beers). Have you tried that cereal milk IPA they've bought out recently? That's not too bad but a bit rich.

 

Speaking of average beers, there's a gaff in Nottingham that has a lot of Cloudwater on all the time and I don't think I've ever found their beers anything other than palette stripping.

 

Keans Head had Siege of Karthoum by Wilde Child on the other day though and it's one of my favourite drops, even if I find their beers a bit gimmicky.

Oh and Magic Rock have brought back Dairy Freak haven't they, yes please.

That’s true, way too long to go without a beer

Beer Engine is top drawer as is Post Office Vaults. Tapped opened in my last year of uni and I have a soft spot for it and nip in whenever I'm back but by all accounts it's lost its gloss the last year or so which is a massive shame.

No mate but it sounds interesting.

 

Had the new canned Buxton V Omnipollo Ice cream pale ale the other day, decent but preferred it in the bottles they used to do.

I don’t know about favourite but Buxton Tap House is quality and I went in a place in York the other week called The house of trembling madness which was a stunning building.
