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”

Jolly Sailor Brewery – Dark Ruby Mild (3.6% ABV)
This blog has run mild features in the past but has at times struggled to find enough examples to sample. Here is one brewed almost on our doorstep, well in Selby midway between Hull and Leeds, so it would be rude not to try this one. Mild may be an unpopular drink but one IContinue reading “Jolly Sailor Brewery – Dark Ruby Mild (3.6% ABV)”
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”
