Sorachi Saison

Sorachi Saison Sorachi Saison This crisp, refreshing beer is brewed with the distinctive Sorachi Ace hop, giving it zesty lemon and orange notes with intriguing hints of spice.

Goose Island

Goose Island Our India Pale Ale recalls a time when ales shipped from England to India were highly hopped to preserve their distinct taste during the long journey. The result is a hop lover’s dream with a fruity aroma, set off by a dry malt middle, and long hop

Beer

Casablanca

I had the pleasure of eating at a Moroccan Restaurant today in the beautiful city of Bath. Casablanca is a Moroccan brewed beer and , unlike the food, it’s fairly unremarkable beverage. It’s tasty, but nothing special to note about it.

Beer

Dorothy Goodbody's Blissful Brown Ale

Here’s another one from Wye Valley, this time with Dorothy Goodbody’s name assigned to it.  This has a deep fruity aroma leading to a rich flavour.  It’s a superb dark ale, highly recommended! Blissful Brown Ale from Wye Valley Brewery (Stoke Lacy, Herefordshire)

Beer

Butty Bach

The Wye Valley Brewery is up there in my top five breweries and this golden ale is another bottled up reason why. It’s a dangerously drinkable full flavoured beer.  ‘Butty Bach’ is Welsh for ‘little friend’. This full-bodied, smooth and satisfying premium ale is burnished gold in colour. Butty

Beer

Worcestershire Way

Today, we walked over the Lickey Hills and landed up on the Worcestershire Way path. Named after this path, which runs the northern border of the county, is this golden beer, made locally in Bewdley. Worcestershire Way from Bewdley Brewery (Bewdley, Worcestershire)

Beer

Flying Scotsman

Here’s a tasty bitter that I enjoyed. Oddly, I don’t particularly like bitters, but this one went down rather well. Flying Scotsman from Caledonian Brewery (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Beer

Espresso

Talking about different, here’s something else.  A while ago, I tried a porter from Meantime Brewery, it was a strong beer with chocolate.  Here’s a rich coffee beer!  It’s a black beer brewed with freshly ground arabica coffee beans.  It’s not very strong, alcohol content wise,

Combined Harvest

Combined Harvest is a bit unusal as it’s a multigrain beer with wheat, rye, barley and oats in the mix.  It’s very smooth and I was really impressed with it, not having had anything from Batemans before. Combined Harvest from Batemans Brewery (Wainfleet, Lincolnshire)

Beer

Tribute

I’ve been quite lazy with my beer and coffee posts lately and am quite behind, so I’m going to try and catch up. The next few bottles are from Cornwall, my favourite part of the country and home to fine foods. Starting with a trustworthy classic, it has

Öl Mörk Dark Beer

Following on from my previous beer post, here is Öl Mörk, a dark lager from Ikea. This one is more drinkable and balances a crisp drink with a stout like taste. It’s actually rather pleasant. Öl Mörk Brewed in Halstad, Sweden

Beer

Öl Ljus

I’ve just home to a smashing curry and, of course, all currys should be served with a beer. This is a lager beer from Ikea. It’s Swedish and although it tastes ok, it does end with an after taste of blood, which is novel. Ok, so I should

Beer

Old Hooky

Here is a bottle of Old Hooky from the Hook Norton Brewery, a fruity and full bodied ale.  It has some significance because my father-in-law is from Hook Norton.  It’s a fine beer and certainly up there with my favourites, probably getting into my top five. Old Hooky from

Beer

Hicks Special Draught

St Austells HSD is a strong Cornish ale. Traditionally brewed from an original recipe and named after the brewery founder, Walter Hicks. Full bodied and strong and yet extremely drinkable with a kaleidoscope of flavours. From St Austell Brewery (St Austell, Cornwall)

Beer

Cornish Mutiny

I am no beer connoisseur but I like to try local produce and I’ve decided to start taking note of them. Today’s beverage, therefore, is Cornish Mutiny, a fine beef enjoying a dark rich colour with a distinctive hoppy character and slightly biscuity flavour. Cornish Mutiny from Wooden
