[Closed] Peak of ale-craft? Your beer to rule all?

Gluten free peroni. Because it's peroni and therefore drinkable on all occasions, and it doesn't cause my gut to explode.

But tonight I think I'll be having a gf old speckled hen, or maybe this unpronouncable hungarian thing that seems to be officially a breakfast beer.

ilkley mary jane.
magic rock ringmaster.

both just perfect.

Black Isle Blonde.

Ooh, or Ceasar Augustus.

Wait, LAFF Steam Beer.

The LAFF would make the best jersey in my mind so that, and maybe I just will have one tonight now, thanks.

I will be getting nailed on this tomorrow night.

Been drinking Upham Brewery's Stakes recently. Winner right now for me and would make a good jersey too in a black with a rapha/torm stripe style. I think the brewer on here too...?

Just popped a couple of Neck Oil's in the fridge. Had a fair bit to choose from, but then I do own a bar..... 🙂

something by cloudwater with cirtra in the name.
ALWAYS ASWSOME

[img] [/img]

I'd have that on a jersey, and the ABV wouldn't be far off 🙂

Probably won't have one tonight as I'm playing pool with a mate in a club that only serves John Smiths or shit lager.

I'm partial to a bit of Sam Adams Boston Lager at the moment, wouldn't commit to it though, beer depends on the weather as much as anything else.

Not having one tonight though, I had 2 at lunch.

Not sure where you are but Beer Cellar in Exeter has a good selection. Anywhere else it's mainly Otter brewery and the like and very middle of the road.

It already exists:

I was in Keswick last weekend and the keswick brewery do an ale called KSB and I enjoyed that immensely. If I'm a pub with a decent range I tend to order a blonde ale if there is one. I like Erdinger or Leffe. My go to beer in a pub is usually Peroni if they have it or Stella. My drink it at home beer is Stella. I'm no beer snob 🙂

I rather like this, and would make a decent jersey (though logo T-shirts aren't really my thing)

I'll certainly be having [i]some[/i] beer tonight. I'll grab a couple of these if the supermarket has any.

Bah, duff URL. What meant to post was the pansexual most-intensely quaffable [s]queen/king[/s] Quing of ale-craft ...

[img] [/img]

Jennings Lakeland Ale, or Cockahoop

Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker
Saltaire blonde
Duval
Adnams do an amazing earl-grey infused lager and this has reminded me to investigate whether they do online orders!

Thanks for the tip-off. Might be due for Exeter trip in a mo as good friend is currently at the hospital in the birthing stirrups. Need moar beeeer!

Highwire.

Or Saltaire cascade.

I've got a thing for American style ale at the moment.

+1 for Highwire

Pretty find of Brooklyn lager as well

I don't tend to buy the same thing twice, but one I have done is Tiny Rebel's Clwb Tropicana.

Oakham Citra,Magic Rock Highwire,Magic Rock Punchline.Luckily,for my liver,not often available in Barnsley.

And for tonight I have a Renegade Brewery "White Rabbit" from their pilot range. A Trappist inspired pale ale, apparently. It's a local one, the brewery is about 10 miles away.

Loving this at the moment. Brewed just down the road, proper drinkable.

[img] [/img]

There isn't one.

Try Darkstar's Not into Yoga pale ale, if you like that - not quite as full on, but really drinkable!

Has to be Kernel ale for me, just lovely. In Poland at the moment and there are so many great beers. Had s lovely spelt/honey one earlier.

[img] [/img]

My fave: supreme champion 2016 (not of crufts).

[img] [/img]

Just had one - t'was nommy!!

Now on Siren 'white' stout - tis weird...

Too many to choose from. But as a treat Sam Smith chocolate stout is lovely. Easily the best beer they brew.

Sharps - Atlantic

Allendale Wolf. No, Tar Bar'l. No, Wolf. No Tar Bar'l. Argh!

[img] [/img]

Refreshing ale with a unique hoppy aroma and well-balanced bitterness that is bound to satisfy! It is a terrific match with roast lamb and spicy Thai dishes!

Mmm, I love a lot of Badger ales.

Favourites are Poacher's Choice and Golden Glory

Mentioned already, but

[img] [/img]

As a hairy arsed notherner i hate to say it but the badger stuff is lovely.
Ahopalipse Now from Aldi is rather good as well, don't be put off by daft name.
Funkydunk, love that Saltair top. Are they available to the common man?

Wold top marmalade porter. Nice on tap and bottles. Fresh brew on in a month or two ready for winter.

I think you can buy them from their shop. You can also get them from All Terrain Cycles, (personally I wouldn't buy from them since their staff were incredibly rude to my wife)

http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/saltaire-brewery-cycling-jersey

Cheers Dunk will have a look. I wouldn't buy from them again as they sold me a Trek. Lovely building though

Just had a look at the tops. If i happen to win the lottery I will have 2 😉

From my favourite brewer who are not only lovely people but make cracking beers.

I want that Drac! 🙂

[img] [/img]

Tonight.

[img] ?format=500w[/img]

Porlus - Wold Top are a very cycle friendly brewery. Involved in a couple of local sportives (I sorted the head brewers chain on one) and I think they run / sponsor a local cycle club.

Tempest brave New world IPA is working for me the now. Hic.

I want that Drac!

It's very good they do cans now so it's becoming more readily available.

Three Blind Mice almost anything but Flight of the Unicorn is great, or I'll Make You Famous
Bexar County Chilli porter
Magic Rock inhaler
Traquair House Ale

Bexar County Chilli porter

Traquair House Ale

Midlife Crisis from Whithorn

Brewdog Jet Black Heart. Creamy stout loveliness, mmmmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmm, traquair house ale. Very good, but also the spiciness of jacobite is great too. I'd forgotten about these 2 until the posts above.

Yeah, one, er mixed crate to rule 'em all 🙂

Have to say I'm pretty disappointed with a lot of the choices. I'm West Country through and through but Badger (yet to I find one that is decent) and Exmoor gold - have we stepped into the 1980's?! Some of the safest blandest tasting ales I've had.

Tiny rebel decent shout as was jet black heart. Cafe imperial racer by Fierce brewery would be a good shout IMHO.

Lot of poncy citrus or fruity beers here give me a basic bitter or stout any day. I want my beer to taste like beer not pimms or a fruit salad

Session - Big Lamp's Sunny Daze 3.6%
Few cans - Buvar Original 5%
Numb - Budvar B:strong 7.4%

My favorite is purity ales Ubu.

Really got into golden ales the last couple of years, like cockerhoop or wainwrights golden - lovely refreshing stuff. Dark ale feels a bit chewy now, but I like a stout. Had a lovely pint of porterhouse stout in Dublin - preferred it to the norm.

I found honestbrew.co.uk at the bike show earlier in the year - a selection of beers chosen around your criteria delivered to your door. Some good stuff and always interesting.

Anything by these

And this

Keep coming back to Golden Plover from Allendale. At the end of one of the Kielder 100s you were presented with a water bottle filled with it and mine continued to taste of it for ages after.

Either this
[img] [/img]

Or this
[img] [/img]

Tonight I'm hoping for the latter or similar

This thread is making me thirsty

I did take a liking to Dark side of the Moose while down in Wales.
But back home and it would Orkney's Dark Isle

[img] [/img]

Awesome beer, brewed in Swansea. I recon the pump sticker would go well on a jersey too!

Would make a nice jersey design

A bit sweet but it's a great pissed. Doesn't take much either..

Top beers of the moment are:
Bibble,

Ghost ship
And punk ipa.

Happy to be sponsored by any of those

Drinking Wainwright golden tonight

Elland brewery summer breeze
Magic rock ringmaster
Bradfield farmers blonde
Thornbridge peveral
Marbal brewery lagonda
Riverhead brewery butterly
Riverhead brewery happy valley

all are pretty local to the pennines, and all were bloody fantastic.

Jail ale is the one for me.

Although I do like this nice Japanese lager for Summer evenings.

Bumping an old(ish) thread here but I bought some bottles of Fierce Beer (Day Shift and Easy Shift) that are newly stocked in my local Morrisons. Never heard of them before but they seem fairly new and are based out of Aberdeen. Massive thumbs up from me, possibly the best beer I've ever tasted (from a bottle at least).

They have a decent range on their online shop ( https://www.fiercebeer.com) so I'm going to have to put in an order for some mixed cases to try more.

I recommend sampling some should you get the chance.

Paul4stones ..spot on ..my favourite pint when I can get it is Allendale Breweries Golden Plover ..
I also like Hobgoblin Gold ( bottled ) and Old Golden Hen ..

McEwan's 90 shilling ale.

Only ever had it when visiting my late step-father-in-law.
Never seen it on sale anywhere, and no idea where he got it from, but the name, and the fact that he was Scottish may be a clue.

Gluten-free suggestions please in case I've missed any. Next on my list is Wadworth 6X Gold which is a g-f version of 6X which I liked anyway and have been on their brewery tour.

Brewdog Vagabond Pale Ale is GF

Here is another gluten free..havent a clue what it's like though ..
http://www.allendalebrewery.com/beers/gfpa

There's some Brewdog in my cellar and that size bottle is ideal for a lightweight!

Shall check out Allendale Brewery, thanks!

Meantime by Meantimebrewing but can't remember what it's like, also Old Speckled Hen which is OK.

g-f seems drinkable but not memorable.

Reading this thread makes you realise:
A. We are lucky to live in times with such great choice.
B. How brews that other people love are not to your taste.

I am lucky to live near the Magic Rock Brewery and The Grove pub though.
Cannonball, Ginspired & Rhubarella, mmm..

Kirkstall's Dissolution from Sainsbury's is good too.

And Black IPA's in general.
