Your Beer of the week (3 Viewers)

Believe it or not, I have had almost as many new beers this year as usual. Although this year, quite a few of the beers have been bought online and there are still a few to get through.

I haven't tried Jaipur yet, & haven't noticed it in the supermarkets like Sainsburys, Lidl, but haven't been to Tesco in months, might try there next.
True story:
We went on a fun bash in the New Forrest showground a couple of months back, when a large brand new Morello MH, came in to join us. Two ladies got out, first one asked if Jim our founder was present?
We then learned that the driver/Morello owner was Emma Harrison and that she owned a grade 2 listed country mansion, (Thornbury Hall) in the derbyshire dales. She is also the CEO founder of the DWP Back to Work Training Company A4E.

Now with a rapidly expanding brewery also, she attended the New Forrest rally with her PR secretary, looking at various ways of distributing her beer as all her pubs were in lock down.
She passed out a few beers to the vans parked next her....the beer she passed out was Jaipur!
They only stayed the one night, all this info came to us after they had left, and I didnt get in the cue for any handouts.
It was suggested that they may look into having a Fun Rally at Thornbury sometime in the future, maybe even a small CL, how good would that be The chance of having a real Pee up at a brewery, a dream come true for many.
We will have to watch this space.

thornbridge brewery did the beer tent at a local festival we went to. So we tried a lot of their beers then, and really liked them. My favourite of their beers is cocoa wonderland stout, it’s fantastic

They are 6 litre kegs 10.5 pints. When you take off your deposit and loyalty points also if you are a member of perfect draft tips on Facebook you get a code for another 15% off. This works out on average about £22 a keg.

Looks good but I can not be bothered now, I did have a go years ago but found wine to be a better choice, as I had no idea what wine should taste like.

Titanic plum porter????
If so keep an eye out for the plum porter grand reserve a bit stronger and a little less sweet.

 

[TheAleMan]

The best plum Porter I have ever had was brewed by Redemption Brewery-London. It was a stunner. Had the Titanic one which is nice, but IMO, not a patch on the former.

The normal PP is a little sweet for me but the grand reserve is a lot nicer.

Yet to try that one, hope I stumble across it one day...sounds grand.

I don't think at the moment they do as its only been going for a few months but seem to be adding new additions on a regular basis.

thanks - have you got one yourself? Is it a tasty beverage and better than shop bought?

No not yet but considering it in the New Year as have plenty of beers to get through at the moment ;-)

 

[TinaLes]

Thanks Guys, I will put Plum Porter on my list to try & find.
Having run out of Hobgoblin Gold, I can now say that I cannot taste any appreciable difference between bottle & can, they both taste great to me, and very moreish.
I tried a bottle of Adnums Ghost Ship the other evening, very strong, one to be savoured & supped slowly, but again very good, with a long length.
Now, I am trying a brand new beer to me, its a bottled American Shipyard IPA,from Portland Maine, its mid amber in colour@5% ABV.
I would never have guessed it was an American blend as I didnt know they could make any decent beers over thereHaving said that its probably brewed in Northampton
Cheers everyone.

The can is better at preventing UV spoiling of the beer.
Our local brewer would like punters to switch to cans.
I would switch - but after passing some blind taste tests of my fave go to beers.

London Pride, Hobgoblin Ruby & Gold (as you mention) are available in cans & bottles.
Should be a start.
It would be nice to test a dark ale like Old Peculiar though.

Won't need too many of those, especially after looking at the price...

 

[denisejoe]

dont show me things like that...i'll convince myself to buy one now. 10 pints per keg, keeps for 30 days...i might even kid myself it will last that long!

No it evaporates a lot quicker than that

 

[denisejoe]

Its Hobgoblin Gold for me at the moment, many on here recommended it, so I have been suppin a few recently. I also tried the Ruby, but found that a bit heavy, and noticed that my chest hair started to mat more vigorously the next day.
Really hoping that Hoegarten is on special at Lidl before xmas, love that stuff, love pouring it, love savouring the moment, but always feel a little angry at not being able to get a bottle deposit back like they do in The EU.
Cheers everyone.

Cheers M'dears.

I've just been down to support my local, by fetching back a takeaway gallon of Jaipur (my own container).

That should see me right over the next couple of nights.

Cheers

Jock.

It's in at the moment. I saw it yesterday.

It's on a par with Erdinger for me, and of course............

...........when you can get a hold of it, again, from Lidl, but in cans in UK and Italy.

Cheers

Jock.

Not had that one either Jock. Does look a good drop though. I’m slumming it tonight on the Abbot Reserve.

Recently discovered Victory Ale from Morrisons, very nice and not bitter.

 

[Langtoftlad]

Bosteel's limited edition Bost-Ale is in my PD at the moment. Very pleasant.

Kegs last me about 3 days at the moment during lockdown.

I want to try a draught pint of Jaipur before I commit to a keg, as its at the higher end of their price range.
I think PD will always be Euro-beer aligned... but it is good to see they do entertain some UK craft offerings.

Today, they launched their first stout... Black Magic Dark Arts.
Not for me, but have to applaud new styles & increasing range.
