Brew York – Albus Crumbledore, mixed fruit crumble sour (4.6% ABV)
Hi there fellow beer lovers, Name: Albus Crumbledore This has a strong sour punch and was very reminiscent of mulled wine. The blend of sour and the vanilla crumbly finish made this a very complex but morish mouthful. Overall it was a “magical” drinkable experience. Our overall rating: 4.2/ 5.0

Ossett Brewery x The Old Peacock x Wilko92 Foundation – Wilko 92 Tribute Ale Session Blonde (3.9% ABV)
As a rule of thumb, I steer clear of anything associated with a certain football club from West Yorkshire, as I am a fan of an opposing Yorkshire club. This is an exception because it is a beer and it is to support a good cause. The Wilko92 Foundation is a fan-driven campaign to honourContinue reading “Ossett Brewery x The Old Peacock x Wilko92 Foundation – Wilko 92 Tribute Ale Session Blonde (3.9% ABV)”
Jolly Sailor Brewery – Captain Toffee Stout (4.6% ABV)

Into the Mild 2026 – Wye Valley Brewery : The Malt Awakens, Galactic Mild (3.7% ABV)

Still, Mild and sci-fi references are a combination we didn’t know we needed. At a sensible 3.7%, this oneContinue reading “Into the Mild 2026 – Wye Valley Brewery : The Malt Awakens, Galactic Mild (3.7% ABV)”
Into the Mild 2026 – Theakston: Mild Smooth Dark Ale (3.4% ABV)
Hi there fellow beer lovers, When it comes to classic Yorkshire brewing, Theakston has been around the block a few times, and there’s something reassuring about seeing a mainstream brewery still keeping Mild on the roster.
