Is this from the new range?

Yeah. I’ve had the salt Huckaback too. Which was decent too.
 

Decent and good value at 4 x 440ml cans 

 

They’re not on the standard of the stuff you get in a decent bottle shop, but good nonetheless

You can't complain at 2 quid a can. I'm assuming they're not hitting those high abv's too and more middle of the road 5-6%?

Yeah about 5.7 I think.

I've had a few that type of strength from vocation lately and they've all been pretty good.

Smooth, really smooth for a 6.3% beer. Tastes like strawberry and cream, no bitterness, I'm buying more.

I think you should have the DIPA. 

Not sure if my local Aldi has that, but seriously that was a fucking awful beer.  I did have a Lidl IPA the other day and that was very good - £1.79!

 

 

[Raymond Duck]

Just finishing this up, lovely.

[Red_or_Dead]

Latest batch:

The Cloudwater DIPA is phenomenal (definitely one for @Bruce Spanner when he's off the wagon) and the Donzoko Vienna Lager is a great session beer (but oddly stupidly priced at 20p more than the DIPA!)

Loads of good stuff got released this week, I managed to snag a couple of Mills’ new release which will be thrown down my gullet once this self imposed suffering ends! 

 

Im looking forward to playing catch up in a few weeks! 
 

If anyone fancies a little saving type HOPS15 in at checkout here for 15% of pales and IPA’s, they’re making room in the fridges for a load of Equilibrium and Other Half due next week.

Jealous.

Had a can on a bench with a mate today, overlooking Hove Seafront.

 

Felt like a king

Some of this stuff is going too far. Someone bought me a box of craft ale for my birthday which contained walnut stout and passion fruit IPA. 

 

Let's all just simmer down.

I’ll give it a month before you’re posting about pastry sours.

 

This is how it’s starts...

I genuinely would like to try those!

I tried them both and they were nasty, the walnut stout tasted and looked like dirty dish water.

Nice one Bruce, I've just ordered 16 cans. 

 

I've only been drinking on match days this year and we haven't a match for weeks after Monday, so I guess that plan is now fucked.

My match day idea went out of the window some time ago!  I must try and stop after Monday until the next game too.

I'm properly fucked. I just got a few cans of Polly's from the beer shop on Walton Vale and picked these up in Tesco's this morning too. I probably won't even last till the match on Monday!

I don't know whether to be pissed off or relieved that my local Tesco has a shit selection of craft stuff (they do carry Roaster Coaster which is very good though) - even the two nearest big Tescos don't carry much due to their locations (Cheetham Hill - big muslim population and Salford - dirty scrotes).

 

How was the Buxton/Omni @RJ Fan club
