luckymucklebackit Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Having been enjoying the Brewdog "Lost" lager I tried their fruit infused variation of the brand. The case of eight cans is sold with two of the original, two Blood Orange, two Guava and two Lychee and lime. I enjoyed the blood orange, the guava was OK but the lychee and lime didn't work at all, in fact it was pretty disgusting! Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Why can't they just leave these "infused" alcoholic drinks to the gin drinking mob, at least they seem to like them and it doesn't ruin the taste of the drink! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is forcing you to drink them and there is a strong tradition of fruit beers on the continent! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Currently drinking eurofizz in the form of Hellas Pils, but wait.... It has an uncanny taste of Castle Rock Harvest Pale about it and moreover it ain't too fizzy either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43110andyb Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think a little dig at the now Tadcaster brewed ‘Newky Broon’ is justified- Byker Brown 4.8% and an admirable foil for a traditional ‘bottle of dog’! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love Welsh ales and sometimes pop into the Mold Alehouse. This establishment is run by Gareth and his Mrs in Mold North Wales and is highly recommended! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Corby Brewhouse - Fox brown ale 4.6% very nice! Another vote for Great Corby here, this time their Lakeland Summit brew. A pint at The Kings Arms in what was Maia Roman fort (Bowness on Solway) last night was a perfect interlude in a 40 mile cycling circuit from Silloth.

43110andyb Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Playing indoor 5-a-side on one of the hottest days of the year requires a recovery strategy (water intake sorted) so a beer from the Hadrian Border Brewery- Northumbrian Gold 4.5% and very refreshing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Travelling home from my ship last Sunday, I had a couple of (large) glasses of this rather splendid IPA whilst at Gothenburg Airport Edited August 14, 2022 by MarkC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) A trip to my local brewery (Durham Brewery, a few minutes' walk from my house) revealed this rather drinkable IPA, their latest offering. Quite similar to their award winning Alabaster, but slightly more hoppy, and excellent in its own right. A handy 5 litre minikeg somehow found its way into my fridge... They have some more new brews to come - happy days! (Or should that be daze?). Edited August 15, 2022 by MarkC pesky autokorekt struck, and I didn't initially spot it... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR Chuffer Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 1 hour ago, MarkC said: Durham Brewery My local, the Dog Inn in Whalley in East Lancs is renowned for the quality of its ever changing range of beers but this week it looks as though there's been a tap takeover as 5 out of the 6 handpumps is a Durham brew. By common consensus they are quite insipid by comparison to regulars such as Saltaire, Ossett, Roosters, Vocations, Brewsmiths and the many other popular beers we are used to. Perhaps they don't travel well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Perhaps, I'd put their bottled stuff on a par with any of the ones you mentioned, and better than many as they are bottle conditioned! Mind you I have some dire Saltaire beers in pubs before now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
