Hello again beer fans. Another ‘brown beer’ from one of my favourite Yorkshire breweries. It has been revamped since I first tried it, changing from ‘Best Bitter’ at 4.2% to ‘Modern Classic Bitter’ at 3.8%. Of the two versions I preferred the earlier one, which was stronger and slightly more bitter. Neither version is veryContinue reading “Rooster’s Brewing Co – Yorkshire’s Best Modern Classic Bitter (3.8% ABV) #BestBitter”

Roosters Brewing Co – Throwback Oak Conditioned Vintage Stock Ale (5.3% ABV) #Vintage #StockAle
Something decidedly different today, a ‘brown beer’ with bags of character. There’s something of an oxymoron in the description, it being both ‘all new’ and ‘original’ at the same time, but it’s all in the details… This ale is brewed using muscovado sugar, before being fermented and conditioned on oak staves. Not just any oldContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Throwback Oak Conditioned Vintage Stock Ale (5.3% ABV) #Vintage #StockAle”
Roosters Brewing Co – Terry Chocolate Orange Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout
Welcome back beer loving friends. Christmas the religious festival that has been hijacked by consumerism and overindulgence. Talk of Christmas and thoughts go to the fabulous food, the roast turkeys, hams, Christmas cake and plum pudding. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a tin of Quality Street (that gets smaller every year) and the ubiquitous Terry’sContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Terry Chocolate Orange Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout”
Rooster’s Brewing Co – Capability Brown Best Bitter (4.0% ABV)
Hello fellow beer lovers. Today I am reviewing a ‘brown beer’. Yes, in this world of highly hopped IPAs, strong lagers and wildly flavoured sours it is possible to find ‘boring’ traditional bitter. As someone who was weaned on the stuff I’m pleased to see it. Palates and tastes may change but there must stillContinue reading “Rooster’s Brewing Co – Capability Brown Best Bitter (4.0% ABV)”
Roosters Brewing Co – California Common West Coast Amber Ale (4.2% ABV) #CaliforniaCommon
Welcome back to The Eternal Hoptimists and our latest review. A beer created in the style of the San Francisco so called ‘steam beer’. It’s an amber ale but fermented with lager yeast that aims to be smooth with only medium bitterness. This beer falls into the easy drinking category, but is far from bland,Continue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – California Common West Coast Amber Ale (4.2% ABV) #CaliforniaCommon”
Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle
Hello there fellow beer lovers. The Hoptimists do love a bad pun and to be fair to Roosters this beer does manage to go beyond the peel. Fruit peel is frequently added to brews, but this goes a bit further by adding satsuma purée. The first surprise was the colour which is very pale, whenContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle”
Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle
Welcome back beer lovers. Today we have a review with a continental flavour, a collaboration between Yorkshire and Italy and a reference to a much loved movie of the 1960s. The original Italian Job is a great movie, but how will this collaboration beer fare? Would Mr. Bridger approve? Would Charlie Coker think it greatContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle”
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”
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”
Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea
Hello there fellow beer lovers, its time for tea! I’ve tried pale ales with Earl Grey added which were surprisingly nice, so I’m always game to try a different variation. This one is made with tea from Taylors of Harrogate (the makers of Yorkshire Tea) but in this case their green tea. Also added duringContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea”
