rockershovel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Bud Light, I’m afraid. Still on sale at £2 for four bottles in our local Coop and in the heat lately, I don’t find that beer tastes of anything.. perhaps that’s why most American beer is so nondescript? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cross the pond you'll find that both the Canadians and the Yanks can brew some very good beer, but most of them are 5% and more and they are quite pricey starting at $6+ and don't forget the tip. I didn't see any of the wishy washy stuff on sale at any of the bars I visited. It's the same with European lagers are nothing like the frozen to death stuff you get here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2 Son is something of an aficionado of European lager. I quite like it when it's hot out, but I also like cider, so that's what I generally buy in summer. That or a "golden ale" Wintertime, I don't drink lager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I ever stopped in Rock itself, but nearby Daymer Bay was a regular beach venue 60 years ago. Times change. When I was first drinking draught bitter there were brews that struggled to get a mile from the brewery without suffering. Rock to Newcastle is a little further. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted September 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2019 Life's good when you find a stash of beer you'd forgotten you had! I picked up a box of assorted ales from a shop in Lynmouth in 2017. Was going to give them as Xmas presents, but forgot about them, and they've been hidden in the back of the wardrobe for 2 years! They're out of date now, so I'm going to drink them myself 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted September 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2019 Bogof update this week, last night's brew first:- Surfer Rosa, from Madrigal Brewery, Lynmouth. A lively little number, despite being 18 months out of date! Tasty and aromatic too, though a little too like an IPA for my liking. Next up is tonight's beverage:- Hunter's Full Bore, from Ipplepen, Devon. Contains Boudicea hops, which I've never heard of. Nice, full bodied, rounded, warming, reminiscent of a winter warmer. Right up my street! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, both have been stored at the back of the wardrobe for 2 years. I wonder whether being 18 months out of date means a bit of extra fermentation has happened? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted September 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2019 Another lively little number from Madrigal. This was needed two glasses to contain all the froth. It's a fruity, treacly stout, just how I like them! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

88D Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just got back from Wakefield show (very good, and bought a 4 Road north light shed on the bring and buy stand), so relaxing with a pint of Flack Catcher from Flack Manor brewery. Hampshire brew, but drinking in my second home of Yorkshire. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Not 'currently' but last Saturday in the Spoons in Redditch, after a hectic day of Warley and 'Cats'. Also tried Abbot Ale recently - nice but to me it tastes practically the same as Doombar. I'm expecting an uproar by all the residents of Rock and fans of the village's main produce.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
