This one however is slightly different from the norm as Fierce Beer has released a cinnamon bun ale, yes that’s right cinnamon! Over the course of my beer drinking history I have had a fairContinue reading “Fierce – People Like Buns, Cinnamon Bun Ale (6.5% ABV)”

Thornbridge x Rivington Brewing Co. –Boise Brown, American Brown (6.5% ABV)
This is a collaboration between the ever-dependable Thornbridge and Rivington Brewing Co a craft brewery based in Lancashire which is well regarded.

So, when Mark produced this beer,Continue reading “Thornbridge x Rivington Brewing Co. –Boise Brown, American Brown (6.5% ABV)”

Saltaire – Northern Light Single Hop Citra Pale (0.5% ABV)
Looking through the shelves of my local Asda (other supermarkets are available) for low alcohol beers I spotted this one amongst some of the better-known ones.
