Foxy27 Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Aldi have 18 ales as part of the beer festival they are doing. The titanic and hope monster are very nice. All at 1.25 too
Voll Blau Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Looks like the Village in Harborough has reopened under its old name the Freemasons. Looks like a decent selection of ales, craft beers, pilsners from a few photos I've seen. Anyone been yet? Always felt it had a lot of potential if it was 100 yards closer to the centre of town. Went there before railing into Leicester yesterday lunchtime. Was decent with a good range of beer and vodka made in Harborough. Hopefully people get behind it.
Rincewind Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 There is now a bottle beer called Wasted. Brewed by Northern Monk from Leeds I think. It is made from overipe fruit that is used as part of the sugar and would otherwise be heading for the landfill. I never knew it but it is an idea by the Real Junk Food Project. It is over 6.5 abv and is said to have an unique taste.
Unabomber Posted 2 June 2016 Posted 2 June 2016 Just in brewdog on me own. Bloody love weihenstephaner hefe
Lcfc_lass10 Posted 2 June 2016 Posted 2 June 2016 Aldi have 18 ales as part of the beer festival they are doing. The titanic and hope monster are very nice. All at 1.25 too Looking forward to trying some of those!
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Had some very nice beers in Derby the other week - some great pubs the Alexandra, Tap, Brunswick, Silk Mill, Dolphin (sorry guys). however also had a very good pint of Sunchaser in the Old Horse in Leicester on victory parade day as well as some very decent Draught Bass in the Clarendon, a drop I hadn't had in years.

In other related news, I'm currently sat with a pleasant Grimbergen blonde ale enjoying the sun.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 8 June 2016 Posted 8 June 2016 I know you all love my insider knowledge on beer in Leicester and my breaking news before any1 else What was out of the vaults (more recently sloanes) on new walk / kings st is being taken over by the chap that used to run the salmon with the intention of making it a boozer.
Carl the Llama Posted 8 June 2016 Posted 8 June 2016 Might be a bit too mainstream for this thread but Wolf Rock is bloody gorgeous ale.
Rincewind Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 It was rumours about Sloanes before. I doubt I will go in there. He fell out with me when he was at the Salmon. Misunderstood a comment I made about the place on FB and barred me. It was over two years ago now and I have forgotten exactly what it was. He could be a funny bugger at times. Gaffer OK at the Salmon now. There is also a place opening soon on Millstone Lane. Former landlord of the Wester. Finally The Kings Head will be closing two to four weeks in September for refurbishment. It's being changed completely. Bar moved entrance moved etc.
Voll Blau Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Anyone seen the Everards rebrand. What do you reckon?
SemperEadem Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Anyone seen the Everards rebrand. What do you reckon? Can't say I am that impressed.
Voll Blau Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Can't say I am that impressed. Same. Not sure if it's trying to get younger drinkers into the brewery, but I can't see it working. Know plenty of lads in their 20s who drink Everards as it is without the need for this.
Unabomber Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Anyone seen the Everards rebrand. What do you reckon?Very nice as it meant my local gave me 6 of the old glasses for a £1 charity donation.
GaelicFox Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Think it's to do with a revamp of the tied house branding and promotion It's ok Still best ale in these parts by some way
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Think it's to do with a revamp of the tied house branding and promotion It's ok Still best ale in these parts by some way I think Everards is bland as **** personally, tres bien and charnwood are making much more interesting beers. Had a pint of this in the Craven Arms in Brum the other week and it blew my mind, so good.
Jon the Hat Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Found myself in Manchester on Monday night, had several good pints at the port street beer house near Picadilly station. Lots of good beer if you find yourself in need in that part of the country.
Webbo Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 I had a pint of Abbot Ale in the Hope and Anchor yesterday. Really nice.
Foxy27 Posted 30 June 2016 Posted 30 June 2016 Oakham Citra ale was going down very nicely at the weekend
Lcfc_lass10 Posted 1 July 2016 Posted 1 July 2016 Does anyone know which shops have best offers for ales? I've seen asda do 4 for £5 but just wondered if anyone knows any better.
