I had their Bitter Me Up at the Sheffield Tap in April - it was pretty good (NBSS 3.5). Their American Brown was on there in May but wasn't as good - only just scraped NBSS 3 which is my joint lowest...

I've had a few shockingly bad beers from them.

Red Rum fell exactly as many times as Gary Lineker received a yellow card from a referee.

I get what you're saying about a "token real ale offering", and it used to be seriously dodgy around 2016/17, but it's been one of my favourites for a few years now.

Perhaps this is a matter of...

A winding up petition can be resisted, so it's not necessarily the end.




I had a Midnight Bell in the Old White Bear in Hampstead, of all places, in February this year. And I've had the Leeds...

That's a nice story, Rob. And seems to chime with the way he responded on Discord to someone who accused him of selling his beer too cheap and then too expensive. Unless I misread the time-stamps, it...

We went to their brewery tap in Newcastle-under-Lyme in 2018: Wellers

"During the pandemic we decided to change the model to brew beer just to supply our own pubs rather than the micro-pubs we were selling to before. As a result the pubs became more profitable and the...

I think they're hoping I'll buy some of their beers myself, one day.

Wrong thread, surely. This is about Magic Rock being sold by Lion, a foreign investor now looking to concentrate on Australia, New Zealand and the USA, and being bought by Odyssey Inns, whose...

Ha Ha!

The true figures are 17 pints at the KIT so far this year (seven of Blue Bee Triple Hop, the rest Blue Bee American Five Hop) and only seven and a half at the Fat Cat, mostly Kelham Island...

I just found out. Unexpected to say the least.

I feel I must take some of the blame, as I have been going in the Kelham Island Tavern rather more than the Fat Cat this year.

Isn't this often the case with brewers who think that beers are all about hops? When they try to brew something with lower hopping rates, they feel lost and end up brewing something boring. I had a...

I found the attached Wood Brewery memento on the wall of the Eight Jolly Brewers in Gainsborough today.

Sad news indeed. The brewers of Shropshire Lad (and Shropshire Lass, too). Shropshire just won't be the same. Strangely, on their Facebook page they don't explain why they have closed, but the first...

Ah, that's sad news. I remember my first encounter with one of their beers: Old Trout, at the Fox & Goose in Hebden Bridge seven years ago. I've come across them from time to time since, but...

I think I vaguely remember drinking one or two of their beers in and around Leominster a few years back, but nothing particularly memorable. Ah, here we are (second page of reviews), in one of the...

Sad news about the brewery. Unfortunately that link is to an article behind a paywall.

I'm not often in Berkshire, but I do remember having drunk Good Old Boy and, as I thought, they had a...

Me too, but there have been some mis-steps since Marstons acquired Jennings, with the 3.5% Bitter in particular a shadow of its former self, in my opinion (and now not even called bitter any more). A...

Hmm. The biter bit?

Well, as others have said, really shocking news. I can't think of another current brewery whose demise would have hit me so hard. All of their beers were consistently excellent - even the occasional...

I assume they didn't use Citra hops then? :D

The landlord of the Phoenix in York told me that Beer Monkeys was also claiming to be using Copper Dragon recipes. Their pump clip is the opposite of eye-catching (see photo taken in the Phoenix -...
