Sureshot– Whimmy Wam Wam Wozzle (Drink Slurm Shot) , Pilsner – (5.2% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, Woop, Woop, Woop, Woop! we’ve only got the galaxy’s favourite liquid refreshment, but doe sit have that authentic Wormulonian friendly flavour! This for a Pilsner, was actually pretty good! Worthy of its theme, and it has an interesting flavour, but a tad too fizzy for me. ButContinue reading “Sureshot– Whimmy Wam Wam Wozzle (Drink Slurm Shot) , Pilsner – (5.2% ABV)”
Lincoln Green Brewing Co – Archer (4.5% ABV)
Hello and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, Travelling aside, it is good to have family that live in different parts of the country, even more so when they have a brewery on their doorstep that you don’t come across very often. On a recent visit to my sister-in-law’s, I was presented with a selectionContinue reading “Lincoln Green Brewing Co – Archer (4.5% ABV)”
North Brewing Co – Light User Syndrome(6.0% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, On this blog I have previously bemoaned the lack of brown ales being brewed, it’s a traditional style that is becoming sadly hard to find. Yes, there is the ubiquitous Newcastle Brown, many drinkers only exposure to the style, but there should be scope for more andContinue reading “North Brewing Co – Light User Syndrome(6.0% ABV)”
AZVEX Brewing – Magnificent tree Frog, Pale Ale (4.6% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, Today Sam is back again trying out another tipple from AZVEX Brewing, this time its the Magnificent tree Frog, but will it be as Electrifying as the Electric Butterfly?

Hello and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, You know that familiar phrase ‘Looks can be deceiving’, well, I hope that this is not the case when it comes to this IPA from Italian micro brewery Mastri Birrai Umbri as this beer just oozes class when it comes to appearance. The bottle has been carefullyContinue reading “Mastri Birrai Umbri IPA (6.5% ABV)”
St Ives – Zennor Oatmeal Stout (5.2% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, As you probably realise, I’m a big fan of stouts (I’m becoming rather stout myself and need to lose some bulk before my trip to Fuerteventura in October.) This one promises decadence on the label so I have high hopes. What looks to be a dull canContinue reading “St Ives – Zennor Oatmeal Stout (5.2% ABV)”
AZVEX Brewing – Electric Butterfly, Pale Ale(4.0% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, Today Sam is dipping his toes into a new brewery that has appeared on our radar, we are of course referring to AZVEX Brewing.
