Grabbed a few tins of Breeding Lost Lager and to be honest I'm not sure about it. Might have to try a few more before I give a final verdict.

I'm assuming that's brewdog and a stupid phone spell correction! I'm not a big lager drinker to be honest. I got a 4 pack of lost lager a little while back as I had someone coming round (back in the summer when we could meet to watch the match in the garden!) who I thought wouldn't drink my homebrew everyone else would be on. It turned out he was into the homebrew, so i was left with the lost lagers. I had one a couple of matches back. I thought it was ok, nothing special, but I thought it was reasonably flavoursome for a lager. It reminded me of something else, but I can't remember what now.

Yeah, sorry Brewdog.

Craft lager and most pub lagers are 2 totally different animals

[Barrington Womble]

So true ...worlds apart 

[Gav]

Ok ,so I promised Remmie some stouts so heres some absoloute showstoppers and sine brews I've had over the last few weeks...anyone interested in Irish Craft beers ,I'm on Instagram as @Irishbeerdad which is kinda like my beer blog on all things good 

 

The nameless stout below is a crowler of Hope Foreign Export Stout and some of the doubles are from my mrs who is also into Saisons , West coasts &  NEIPAs.

 

I have a pretty large delivery due next week from Belfast with loads of Stout included from Boundary Brewing and a Cork haul due in Monday  

[Gav]

Got a really nice delivery today from www.craftcentral.ie

 

Few new releases from Eight Degrees Brewing in Cork along with some new release stouts topped off with some cracking IPAS/ NEIPAs/DIPAs & WCIPAs from all over Ireland

Trouble brewing , Kinnegar , Heaney Farmhouse,Whiplash , Larkins & Dot Brew

Fuck all that looks ace

20 days dry here.
 

I’m shaking like a shitting dog

[Bruce Spanner]

This might not get me through this...

 

Jester King, brewed with mushroom, sounds weird, but works really well and gives it a savoury finish, which is really nice.

 

Going to need another bottle though by the looks of things! 
 

 

The Irish stuff looks good, I love Boundry, though they tend to be hit and miss and I’ve had a couple of Kinnegar which was alright.

That Deya is fantastic stuff ...get their brews over here quite regular although very expensive over here with import/mark up etc so don't get to have enough of it ...swear to fuck ,next time I get to England I'm gonna need a Artic truck & trailer to get the craft beer home

[Gav]

Went and collected my Belfast orders at the weekend ....oh sweet fuck ,I'm gonna enjoy this Xmas .

 

Mother in Laws done a stellar job with birthday & Xmas mixed cases and I bought 2 cases myself too

 

 

Heres some of them 

 

 

 

 

[RJ Fan club]

Looks great Gav.

 

I’m 27 days dry. I’d smash all that right now.
 

I’m already planning to get right back on it. I’ll last out till Friday when I have a brewery ‘tour’ booked. I’m gonna get right back.
 

So far as I understand they can’t really do a tour at present, so they’re having to provide food and I’m not really sure how much of the brewery we will get to see.

 

I know there will be a taproom with a load of beers though, I suspect we might need to be out in a marquee. 

 

It’s not top end craft brewery, but craft all the same. Bedlam. based in Plumpton. Decent fridge fillers.

Most of the breweries I've done have all had excellent COVID set ups and the foods been trendy stuff too ( burgers/ tacos etc) .. taprooms were all outdoors on picnic benches apart from one which was in a huge disused warehouse...most of the food was from vans too...you'll have a ball ...27 days though ,best take it easy on the DIPAs to avoid any police  arrest issues

I did Bermondsey in late Jan. just as the world was closing in, but obviously before. Got totally twatted. Was ace 

 

Not sure what to expect, given how restrictions are here at the moment. I’m not sure we could walk in groups around the tanks etc, as we’re not supposed to be together except our doors hence the marquee.

 

They don’t really have any heavy stuff and We’e restricted to 3 hours drinking. Nothing, repeat nothing can go wrong
