RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've noticed that Beck's for sale in the UK which was being brewed in the UK has returned to it's German homeland. I always liked it but refused to buy the brewed in Northamton/Luton/wherever version. Bought a couple of 650ml bottles today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found quite a few empty casks and kegs including two from Ludlow Brewery. So I took a quick drive up there this afternoon to take them back. Apart from the beers being good, of interest to us railfans as it is located in the former goods shed just north of the station. About a third of it is a "brewery tap". Very busy this afternoon. Other aspect of moving here is that one of our two village shops is run by a Polish couple and has quite a range of Eastern European beers which I am slowly working my way through. Mostly very good but the Lithuanian Kriek was a mistake. Far too sweet, they don't seem to have got the point that it needs sour cherries to get the right acidity. Hi, I hope your pub has not been affected by the floods? My commiserations if so. all the best, Dai Davies 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My commiserations if so. all the best, Dai Davies Thank you. We are still dry in Marden but most of the roads have been closed for the last two days involving a long trip to get to Hereford (20 miles instead of 5). But a neighbour tells me that there is now one road open again to go south. I had to cancel a trip to Wolverhampton on Sunday to help SpaceD with his layout. That trip would normally be via Tenbury Wells which, as you will have seen, was very badly flooded. I decided to turn back well before that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how many UK breweries are now brewing lagers/pilsners and not pretending that they are foreign. Have not tried this one yet but next time I am back in Dorset I will give it a go. H&W appointed a new brewer a few years back and their whole operation has improved massively under his guidance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I enjoyed it although I suppose it’s only really a fancy British brewed version of a European lager. As I mentioned a few days ago, I really enjoyed Schiehallion, and that has become my favourite pilsner. I bought this today from the H&W brewery shop; I was actually intending for a Cranborne Poacher as my fifth beer but if I bought a Forum Helles instead then I could get five bottles for a tenner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Had a Fursty Ferret (the correct pronunciation is to emphasise the ‘fur’ in a local Dorset accent ) on Sunday, and washed down a steak pie from a butchers in Scotland very well. Next time I’m in my local Morrisons I’ll have a look for a Hooky beer or two - I hear that Hooky and Hooky Gold are both very good. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been shopping quite a lot in Morrison's recently as the most convenient supermarket to get to. They seem rather good on beers and ciders. Even their own brand stuff is very drinkable. Last week they were selling off Black Sheep Pathmaker which I found very nice although I know many do not like these citrussy styles. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
