Mash Gang x Vault City – Only in Dreams Strawberry & Jalapeño Margarita Pickleback (0.5% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, Not knowing what a ‘Pickleback‘ is I relied upon trusty Google for help and discovered that it is a shot glass of pickling brine. Lovely.

Brew York x Mash Gang – Little Purple One Hazelnut & Chocolate Stout (2.8% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, ‘Little Purple One’ can only mean two things to a man of my age, Prince Rogers Nelson the funkiest, mini-dynamo, guitar god or the one Quality Street that everyone loves and bickers over.

Heist – Long Live The Lettuce, table beer (3.4% ABV)
Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists. Today Sam is standing firm, a beer in hand, and will probably spend more time typing this review up than the Lizzy did in office actually working!

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.
