steve1 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 And now this. Not as 'instant' as the IPA but growing on me. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted November 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2014 Saw some Brewdog 5AM Red Ale in Tesco a couple of weeks ago and, it being one of the Brewdog brand that I hadn't tried, bought a couple. Truly excellent. So the following week I went back to get some a lot more but they'd sold out and I haven't seen it since. I also tried some of Brewdog's Dead Pony Club, if only because I was intrigued by the name - fine, but not as good as the 5AM Red unless, of course, you happen to be particularly partial to Californian style IPAs. I'll try Tesco and Asda tomorrow, but if neither have it It looks like I may have to get some more 5AM Red by mail order (5AM Red should not, incidentally, to be confused with the same company's 5AM Saint which appears to have been discontinued).

Brewdog-Red.jpgDeadPonyClub.jpg Brewdog have recenty changed their label styles, and slightly renamed some of the core range of beers including the two shown. The new style bottle of 5AM Red Ale is simply 5AM Saint with the new label. Dead Pony Club is shown in the old bottle, in future to be known as Dead Pony Pale Ale with the new style label...incredibly tasty for a low ABV brew too. Hardcore IPA was the best Brewdog beer found in supermarkets, but at over 9% ABV I wasn't really surprised when its place on the shelves was taken by the less extreme 5AM Saint a while ago.

RMweb Premium Torper Posted November 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2014 Disappointed to note that they seem to have discontinued Trashy Blonde, a beer (and concept) to which I was rather partial. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Road Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Was going to save this one till after our Thanksgiving meal, but gave in tonight. Besides at 10% alcohol might put me in a right mess after all the food tomorrow! Very much a dessert beer. It really is good. Southern Tier. Blackwater Series stout brewed with Chocolate Stephen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted December 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2014 A quick heads up, beery RMWebbers - Booths (a Lancashire chain of higher supermarkets) have quite a few special offers at present, including quite a few Marstons 500 ml bottles at £1.25 and that includes Old Empire IPA. They are also offeriong Owd Roger at £1.89. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Cheese Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Time for a seasonal bump after a recent visit to the marvellous Bitter Virtue in Southampton, with a few of the more interesting ones to the fore of my rather crowded beer/car junk shelf. The place is like beer heaven and any wallet related good intentions went out of the window within a couple of minutes of browsing, I should have enough stout to see me well into January now though? The only downside was a lack Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout this year, truly wonderful and always hard to find anyway, but since they sold out to AB-InBev (Stella!) they are apparently no longer interested in exporting such niche products outside of the US, and its currently unlikely to be seen here again. Meanwhile the ageing/junk cupboard's drinks collection is looking rather eclectic at present, with a strong Scottish flavour...some perhaps more desirable than others!

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 19, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have in my possession what is now quite rare, a bottle of Sonnet 43 Brown Ale, apparently they stopped brewing it a while back (Durham Light Infantry may be able to clarify), it will be enjoyed some time over the festive period. If all else fails though my local has their 'Steam Beer' as a guest at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
