Oft recommended – but alway struggled to find…

… Tried my first bottle this week. Must rate as one of the very best beers I have ever tasted.

Please describe the flavour

Sweet and nutty at first sip, refreshing like an IPA, but with a load of more subtle, complex flavours the longer in your mouth…

Try Badger Long Days, brewed with Raspberry leaves, mmm mmm mmm.
Bit skeptical but works really well.

What was ,where was the source/brewer please? ❓

For Butty Bach Wye Valley Brewery

Badger Long Days is nice with Thai / Chinese. Raspberry flavout quite prominent, so not really good for more than one.

Their Lemony Cricket summer ale is far better IMO

It’s a house beer at The Duke William in Stourbridge, very nice, always goes down well.

mmmmm Long Days is lurvly…

They sell it in Waitrose

This is my favourite new discovery Cornish IPA from the St Austell Brewery from M&S

Saw that at the w/e – and assumed that it was St Austell’s Proper Job IPA re-bottled for M&S?

ETA – although looking at this, perhaps not??
Proper Job / Cornish IPA

Very possibly, slightly lower ABV but very similar blurb. Lovely anyways

Wye Valley have a pub in the next street to my mum’s place.
I’ll give it a go next time I’m down there.

Probably right about Long Days and more than 1 being too much. Lemony Cricket is very drinkable IIRC.
Although I am a bit of a Badger whore, mmm Tanglefoot has been the cause of several ruinous darts nights in the past for me.

The St Austell Brewery tour is fantastic.

No?

Lol! NO! Philistine. ;0)
