As part of the rescue package the The Blue Bell in York now a has permanent Laines brewery beer on the bar for 12 months.

It's been rebadged as "Obligation". Whatever it is it's King Awful, as are...

Popped into Friends of Ham on Sunday in Leeds.

I couldn't quite see what was on the bar but I noticed a beer I hadn't had before Wilde Child Beyond Redemption.

I tried my pint and it was very...

Certainly not. I had a pint of one of the 7 cask ales.;)

Guinness Hop House 13 Lager.

There was a promotion on at The Baum where this was being pushed by an attractive young lady.

She was giving away free 1/3rds and a voucher for £1 off a pint.

Great Orme Ghost Train.

I'm not the biggest fan of Great Orme as a brewery, but this was a stinker.

Looks great, dark, clear and smooth, but then you get hit by a really sour taste at the end...

Ticketybrew are just crap brewers, no excuses, no good beer, they're just crap.

Partners - Shoddy

I should have known better than to have something called Shoddy it should have been called Sh*tty or possibly Shocking.

It's suppose to be a porter, but it certainly fooled...

You know that fag ash taste you sometimes get from a beer? :sick:

Partners have been known to be guilty as have Brass Monkey.

Tara Mallinson was telling me last week that it is caused by the...

Green Duck AGAIN!!!! :eek:

Their Drakes 7 was as clear as a bell & tasted like an ash tray, just filth. :sick:

Green Duck - Mucky Duck, tried in The Baum last night.

How can something at 4.3% be totally tasteless in the mouth and then leave an unpleasant aftertaste. :sick:

This really is a poor beer...

Two contenders this week, but I only had to pay for one, so that will win.

In Soup Kitchen I ordered a pint of Happy Valley Small & Mighty which was fine.

After a bit of a chat about beer the...

We visited Knaresborough last week and for the first time I managed to visit Blind Jacks.

We've been in Knaresborough before but the pub opens late in midweek.

I started off with a pint of York...

Very unlucky as the Fubar was excellent in The York Tap a couple of weeks ago.

Had one of these in the Thomas Drummond in Fleetwood last week. It wasn't very good there either. :sick:

I called in Salford Arms Hotel on Friday. Nice and peaceful, pleasantly refurbished and 3 real ales on the bar. The Nook Blue Sky was excellent.

One to have a look at Spinko as it's just down the...

It's one of Marston's range of single hop beer.

They take a basic mash and then add a single varietal hop, in this case Saaz and end up with a 4% beer.

They've done 12 this year.

You got a...

Last night in The Baum I tried a pint of Hornbeam Stretch Bitter, it was bloody awful.

I don't normally mind Hornbeam beers and some are very good. This wasn't one of them.

Astringent and...

Bridgehouse Blonde. A crap beer from a crap brewery.

I've tried this twice in two different GBG listed pubs and it's foul.

Medicinal with a bitter aftertaste and a sweaty socks aroma. :sick:
...

Nope, won't be happening. I've been once, it's crap, won't be going again. :sick:

Brewdog Zeitgeist tried in BrewDog. Freezing cold, black as the ace of spades and yet totally tasteless.

It might have tasted of something given a couple of days to warm up.

At £3.95 a pint...

Nelson again Jamming Jack, Sweaty socks in a glass sprinkled with dust.

Tried in The Baum, so it's definitely the beer, as it was crystal clear.

It was just bloody awful.

I think Nelson are...

I think there's going to be a surge of voting for this BABOTW.

Cains Blonde Bird tasted in Dr. Duncans. Thin, astringent and vinegary, bloody awful. :sick:

OB took his back and was served...

Yes I had a taster of it at the Manchester Food & Drink Show. Black Hole had a bar there, so of course we went for some freebies. Their salesman was serving on the bar, we had a couple of halves of...

I tried a half of Art Brew iBeer at Derby beer festival.

A massive vanilla hit and really really sweet. :sick:

I couldn't get the vanilla taste out of the glass without giving it a full scale...

Way back in history I started this thread to complain about the "Bloody Awful" Hilden Gael Rua.

We've just spent 5 days in Belfast, home of Hilden Brewery.

There's not much real stuff around in...
