Hopefully something great from Boscoes brewery or Big River brewery in Nashville or Memphis.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Has anyone tried Hart from Wellingborough, seems to be going down well in my neck of the woods?
Hi mim555, you've not chosen the correct thread to ask the question,just start a new thread in chitchat but never mind Iv'e not come across this new brewery, hailing from Hampshire as I do, maybe some of the other guys or gals(Gill?) who are better travelled have,I presume your "neck of the woods" is Wellingborough?Originally Posted by mim555

On my afternoon out yesterday I had five beers.
East London Brewery Jamboree (4.8%)
Brewsters Pandora (4.8%)
And on KeyKeg
Brodie's Brett IPA (7%)
Brodie's Big Mofo Stout (10%)
Brodie's Simcoe for Breakfast (10%)
I didn't take to the Pandora as I found it somewhat sweet. It's an orange colored beer.
The Brett IPA was cloudy and nothing special.
The Big Mofo Stout (10%) was excellent, but a bit on the sweet side, hardly surpising given it's ABV.
The Simcoe For Breakfast (10%) was superb. It's a major brewing achievement producing a 10% beer that drinks like a 5-6% one.
Given the fact that the ELB is newer I am awarding it to Jamboree.
This is similar to many of the Brodie's Pale Ales, a golden ale packed with hops, but is rather different as he uses only English hops rather than Mr Brodie who seems to have a completely global collection of hops and isn't afraid to use them.
This isn't a criticism of either brewer, but more a note of their diversity.
If I could award two it would be Simcoe and Jamboree, but if one then it's Jamboree!

Only three this week but all very good:
Oakham Bishops Farewell
Bristol Beer Factory Acer
Osset Hop Monster
The Osset Hop Monster gets BOTW by doing what it says and being eminently drinkable at 5%. Dangerous and the best I've had from Osset.
Most of this weeks beers were sampled in the pleasurable company of Quinno and oldboots on Sunday afternoon. A very civilised stroll round Leeds. This week's offerings:
Fernandes - Duke of York Stout.
Ossett - Hop Monster.
Burley St Brewhouse - Laguna Seca.
Roosters - Cogburn.
Acorn - Yorkshire Pride.
Wensleydale - Rowley MILD.
Acorn - Stirling IPA.
Old Mill - Yorkshire Porter.
Bristol Beer Factory - Sunrise.
Raw - Solstice Summer Ale.
Pennine - Sun Stone.
Kirkstall - Three Swords.
Revolutions - Le Freak.
Roosters - Pentathlon.
Ridgeside - Cascade.
Leeds - Midnight Bell.
With honorable mentions for the Laguna Seca and Rowley MILD, BOTW goes to the Yorkshire Pride. Bags of flavour for 3.7% and a lovely long bitter finish. A great session beer.

Oh dear another dry week with only Three beers to choose from ESB London Pride or Tennents LagerYes its still about. So it will have to be Fullers ESB no contest.
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
