Not from there I don’t, Covid has hit me hard

You can't go wrong with this stuff.

Had a few mates in Harborough raving about the selection at JR Stores on Northampton Road. From what they've shown me it looks very impressive for a little corner shop - especially for Belgian and German gear.

Had a few quality Bayern Hells this evening. Kloster Scheyern right now. Up The Purity Law!

Just can't go wrong. Had a good selection from the local off licence the other day.

On a Bolten Alt. Love a good Alt, closest thing you get to real ale in Germany.

Now we're talking. When I go home that is the weapon of choice. Bolten is one of the local breweries back home (definitely my number 1). 10 min drive from where the family live and I have once been to the brewery.

 

If you like the Alt I can also recommend the Ur-Alt and their Landbier is also worth a try. For the light beer drinkers the Helles does a good job too. As you can tell, I like all of their beers.

 

I normally get my dad to bring a crate back when he goes over in the car, however, it's been a while now since that was possible. It's quite hard to get over here.

I've only really had Alt in Dusseldorf before (tried the one Fiege do in Bochum too) and absolutely love it. Will have a look out for the other beers you mention!

Dusseldorf is great for Altbier. Lots of choice, plenty of breweries. Some are better than others (Uerige and Fuechschen probably my favourites). I am hoping to finally go over with my mates (potentially this time next year). Was meant to be for my 30th but Covid was the party pooper.

 

So many breweries in the region (and most regions in Germany) it drives you mad trying to sample lots of them and keep on top.

Blue Monkey chocolate orange stout, which is an absolute treat.

 

If @Miquel The Work Geordie still lurks on here, I'd back it to be right up your street.

And Cloudwater. 

[Unabomber]

I hope with Vault City it gets more people in to their beer and they then branch out and try their more expensive stuff.

Brewed by Brewdog though which might not be great

Yeah but using Cloudwaters recipe etc. I think it’s a fine line for some of these breweries when deciding to sell in the supermarkets. Most are saying Cloudwater have sold out. Hopefully they continue brewing their quality stuff.

[don_danbury]

from the few CWs i've tried, most of them taste the same. apart from the one quite nasty one i had a few years back. 

[Costock_Fox]

For me, the more variety I can get locally the better. Yeah would be nice if they stuck to just local independents like The Offie but they do charge a fair bit more.

Yeah for me being able to buy good beer in the local supermarket won’t stop me buying great beer from my local bottle shop/online. Looking forward to trying these.

Tesco are announcing another brewery they’re going to be stocking tomorrow morning
