Abbeydale Brewery – Sheffield Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout

Welcome back beer lovers. The label states ‘A classic stout inspired by our heritage, our location and the history of the city we call home.’ So, in true Yorkshireman’s terms a no-nonsense beer for no nonsense Yorkshire folk… Sounds just my thing. Not had many Abbeydale beers in cans, but their cask beers are usuallyContinue reading “Abbeydale Brewery – Sheffield Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout”

Wilde Child Brewing – The Magic Flute Vienna Lager (4.8% ABV) #ViennaLager

Welcome back lovers of great beer. Vienna Lager is one of my favourite lagers and one often overlooked by UK brewers, so I was pleased to see this one on the Wilde Child website. It’s their first attempt at brewing one so it certainly promises to be interesting. They’ve drawn inspiration from the world ofContinue reading “Wilde Child Brewing – The Magic Flute Vienna Lager (4.8% ABV) #ViennaLager”

Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle

Hello there fellow beer lovers. The Hoptimists do love a bad pun and to be fair to Roosters this beer does manage to go beyond the peel. Fruit peel is frequently added to brews, but this goes a bit further by adding satsuma purée. The first surprise was the colour which is very pale, whenContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle”

Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle

Welcome back beer lovers. Today we have a review with a continental flavour, a collaboration between Yorkshire and Italy and a reference to a much loved movie of the 1960s. The original Italian Job is a great movie, but how will this collaboration beer fare? Would Mr. Bridger approve? Would Charlie Coker think it greatContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle”

Vanvåg Beer – Mörker Schwarzbier (4.4% ABV) #Schwarzbier

Welcome back beer lovers. Today a Scandinavian beer born in the Stockholm creative district of Södermalm. It is produced by a self-confessed ‘artisan’ brewer that likes to re-invent and re-purpose traditional beers both old and new. This one is a Schwarzbier, a traditional German black lager and a style almost as old as brewing itself.Continue reading “Vanvåg Beer – Mörker Schwarzbier (4.4% ABV) #Schwarzbier”

Roosters Brewing Co – Blame it on the Tetons Mountain IPA (6.3% ABV) #MountainIPA

Hello fellow beer lovers. Mountain IPA, what is one of those you might ask. Judging by the can this IPA expression lies somewhere between the East Coast and West Coast American style IPAs, hence the ‘Mountain‘. The Tetons, well that is a mountain range in Wyoming. Who said drinking beer wasn’t educational. It’s certainly wellContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Blame it on the Tetons Mountain IPA (6.3% ABV) #MountainIPA”

Himlenbryg – Baltic Porter (6.0% ABV) #BalticPorter

A beer style we don’t see too often, this one is produced specially for Beer52. Originating from Sweden, it is fair to say that it has the geographic pedigree if nothing else, but I have high hopes for it. Baltic porters should be cold-lagered, cool-fermented and brewed with lager yeast, this means it should beContinue reading “Himlenbryg – Baltic Porter (6.0% ABV) #BalticPorter”

Roosters Brewing Co – Sleep is for the Week Breakfast Stout (5.8% ABV) #BreakfastStout

Welcome back beer lovers. I love stout but the idea of drinking it at breakfast, even as an ‘airport pint’, is a little too much too early for me. But say brunch now we are talking! Roosters don’t brew many dark beers, but I have high hopes for this one. Quite subtle with the flavoursContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Sleep is for the Week Breakfast Stout (5.8% ABV) #BreakfastStout”

Wilde Child Brewing Co – Futures Past London Porter (5.0% ABV) #LondonPorter

Welcome back lovers of great beer. This porter is brewed as part of the ‘Old School Range’ that has been created to reproduce UK and Irish beers in their original, traditional styles. Here the aim is to go back to the origins of the London Porter, which all porters stem from and uses a LondonContinue reading “Wilde Child Brewing Co – Futures Past London Porter (5.0% ABV) #LondonPorter”

Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea

Hello there fellow beer lovers, its time for tea! I’ve tried pale ales with Earl Grey added which were surprisingly nice, so I’m always game to try a different variation. This one is made with tea from Taylors of Harrogate (the makers of Yorkshire Tea) but in this case their green tea. Also added duringContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea”
