Voll Blau Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Some of the M&S own brand ales are ok, their citra hop based IPA is similar but not as good (and more expensive) as Oakham Citra and it is brewed by Oakham Have I dreamt it or did Everard's also produce beer for M&S under the name "Leicestershire Ale" or something?
Sir Fynwy Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Have I dreamt it or did Everard's also produce beer for M&S under the name "Leicestershire Ale" or something? Each of their own brand ales is by a different brewery so you could be right.
Mint23 Posted 5 September 2015 Posted 5 September 2015 Just got back from Cornwall and had a few ales from the Padstow Brewing Company, only a small micro brewery just 2 years old but they do some great beers. I popped into the brewery on my way home to buy a few bottles of the stuff and the owner gave me a quick tour around and opened a few bottles for tasting, really nice set up. They're too small to travel any beers this far north but if you're around that area try to find a pub selling it, Windjammer was particularly beautiful.
VLC86 Posted 5 September 2015 Posted 5 September 2015 Liking the Adnams Ghost Ship IPA at the minute, lovely stuff.
Matt Posted 6 September 2015 Posted 6 September 2015 Was gonna try Taps out next Sunday, just been on their site and see that they don't open on Sunday
Unabomber Posted 6 September 2015 Posted 6 September 2015 Just got back from the Belgian beer weekend in Brussels. Was pretty good had some pretty legit ales.
Unabomber Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 Got a sierra nevada torpedo, chimay blue, st stefanus blonde, duvel and a meantime ipa from tesco today, they have a legit craft beer selection atm.
Voll Blau Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 Got a sierra nevada torpedo, chimay blue, st stefanus blonde, duvel and a meantime ipa from tesco today, they have a legit craft beer selection atm. Was on that in the Terrace at Stoke on Saturday. Even went back after the match for a couple more. Might have another Sainsbury's own IPA tonight as I'm off tomorrow and Friday. Got a Belgian blonde called St Stefanus I got for my birthday in the fridge too. Been there since July but I wanna save it for when I watch like In Bruges on DVD or at least do something Belgian with my evening.

Drinking the duvel atm love it such a classic beer. Oh nice 1 m8. Is it good? Not tried it before.

I've had it ages ago and apparently it changes on how long you age it. I'm gonna have one later so I'll see how it is.

I've had it ages ago and apparently it changes on how long you age it. I'm gonna have one later so I'll see how it is. Might give it a few years then.
Unabomber Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 That sounds like the best thing ever. Might give it a few years then. yeah keep me posted
ScouseFox Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 That sounds like the best thing ever. Might give it a few years then. It was pretty good yeah. slight false advertising tbf was 35 qs, 20 bout peep show so we got 19 (taking the one we got wrong to a tribunal imo) of them right an only 10 of the gen knowl so came second.

What was the one you got wrong? I'll adjudicate.
ScouseFox Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 The question was what does superhans do instead of taking drugs when trying to get off crack an go cold turkey. So firstly we were like come on he tries loads of times this could be anything. But decided the funniest time was when he took up running an accidentally ran to Windsor. So we put running. An they said the answer was standing up really quick to get a head rush. But that ain't when he goes cold turkey is it that's when they're at a drug free Christian festival so down loads of coca cola an do headrushes instead. So f uck the quiz.
Voll Blau Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 I'd have gone with the running one too. There's also the one where he went to that hotel and got Jez to tie him to the bed. Whoever runs the quiz knows jackshit about Peep Show.
ScouseFox Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 yeah we said that or the time when he gives mark his crack an says even if I come round with wood don't give it me but he does anyway badly worded question, if it was something like what did hans do to get a high when drugs weren't available or something maybe we'd have got it. solid other 19 though although 10 were pics of characters which was a bit too easy. more fun than your average pub quiz tbf altho I did pay 4.80 for a pint
Rincewind Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 I wonder if this is on in the HOC bar? Had a pint of it today. Not bad. Went down well.
Matt Posted 27 September 2015 Posted 27 September 2015 Anyone tried to the Guinness golden ale they've recently bought out? I've just bought a bottle so will be trying it later. Got a couple of other bottles aswell; Sharp's - Atlantic Pure UBU Wadworth - 6X Never tried any before, if anyone has, any good?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 September 2015 Posted 27 September 2015 Always thought UBU was pretty decent whenever I've had it in pubs / bars.
bovril Posted 27 September 2015 Posted 27 September 2015 Hell of a lot of really good Scottish beer around at the moment, especially this one which is a 'stout style' beer, basically lots of flavour without leaving you feel like you've had a five course meal:
Unabomber Posted 27 September 2015 Posted 27 September 2015 Got a everards tiger on the go, not had it in bottle on a while, taste really nice. I've deserved it to had a hectic day.
Voll Blau Posted 12 October 2015 Posted 12 October 2015 Had the original Pilsner Urquell last night. Like drinking boozy honey, love the stuff. Got a bottle of Taste the Difference London Porter for the football tonight, will update how it goes later.
