T|E|H – Pig Love (Brewing Co) by the River
Hello there my fellow beer lovers, Fresh off the buzz of our triumphant 2025 Ale Train (still nursing a few hazy memories), I managed to coax a few brave colleagues on a whopping 20 minutes walk from work to check out Pig Love Brew Co’s riverside taproom. Nestled in Leeds’ increasingly green and trendy cityContinue reading “T|E|H – Pig Love (Brewing Co) by the River”
Dark Revolution Brewing – Orbital Session Pale (3.5% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, The can says it is unfiltered and unpasteurised for maximum flavour, which I think we can agree is a good think. It goes on to say store upright (obviously) and to pour carefully leaving the natural yeast sediment behind. Good advice, not always easy enough to doContinue reading “Dark Revolution Brewing – Orbital Session Pale (3.5% ABV)”

I can see what they were aiming for withContinue reading “Northern Monk – Monks Syrup Stout, Pancake Breakfast Stout (6.0% ABV)”
Tartarus Beers x Amity Brew Co x The Disappearing Chin – Azeban Imperial Strawberry and Vanilla Milkshake IPA (8.0% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, As we have come to except the can art is superb as well as being slightly bizarre; this one being a like a demonic raccoon that is covered with feathers. As the can says, “scan this code to learn the tale.” Apparently in Abenaki mythology Azeban isContinue reading “Tartarus Beers x Amity Brew Co x The Disappearing Chin – Azeban Imperial Strawberry and Vanilla Milkshake IPA (8.0% ABV)”
