Not a bargain alert, but a Sierra Nevada update. I finally tried this famous beer last night, having succumbed to a 330ml bottle at £1.79. Very nice, but I wouldn't necessarily elevate it above, say, Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted, or others of that ilk.Originally Posted by trainman
Also shared a bottle of Blue Moon with Tigerdrinker, after a disastrous sample in Old Joint Stock at the Brum meet - nope, despite the great name it's just not my style, no big flavour hit, I didn't get the alleged citrus or the feel of a 5.4% beer, vaguely reminded me of the powdered 'cream soda' (?) we used get as kids. I note you can apply for a free half, here. Does anyone here have affection for wheat beers? From the aesthetics to the flavour, I, evidently, don't get it.
Skinners
Skinners bottles £2.04 in Sainsbury's near Truro, but almost next door in Aldi they are £1.59, plus there are a lot of other cheap bottles in Aldi.

Presumably there's no way of verifying who is/isn't a Popbitch reader, so I'd say it's an open invite...........
Recent tastings have suggested that it's not been as hoppy recently. However, I think that maybe I'm just getting spoiled with the more flavoursome beers that are around these days. There was a time when this was pretty revolutionary stuff.
I do, if it's a good German one, on a hot summer's day. Have to wait till next year for another I fear.

Schnieder & Sohn, Weisse, Tap 6 (formerly known as Aventinus) is one of my all time favourite beers and Maisels isn't bad either but a bit weak at 5.2%.
You'll be telling us you don't like Rauchbier next
Rauchbier? Yuck! I stopped smoking 11 years ago but could never have understood the attraction of smokey beer. Another that's not for me.
Sainsbury's have their search for good bottled beer offer again.
Shelves with about 18 different bottled UK beers priced around £1.96 to £2.12 but any 3 for £5.
Our store has the shelving on the back wall, not with normal bottles, same as previous years.
Got some interesting 8% beers, all in the £5 for 3 offer price.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
I think beer life in my area is going to improve in 2012, not only do we have a 'spoons coming, we also have a Sainsbugs on the way
It will make a change from the tattoo parlours, payday loan, fast food & charity shops
It's anybody's guess where our one's hidden the bottles (assuming they're bothering to stock them), but that was a wasted journey.
