Craft Beer

It’s barmy expensive for 330ml, actually haven’t dropped the cash on it yet. I might have found my limit

As he drops 120 quid in Rehills

Aye, didn’t know the price when I bought it like, but would’ve picked one up regardless.

Seen a Omnipollo 330ml for £15.95 the other day.

Platform 2 is cracking like. Good little selection of beers and they keep them in excellent nick as well.

Right. I’m doing this next week. Stadium of Light has Vaux Taproom, Haymarket has Cat/Duck/Mouse. Byker is Two by Two. Walkergate anarchy or is Almasty tap still going?

Any more?

Almasty’s not there anymore. Was next door a couple of weeks ago at inflataspace.

Scratch walkergate off the list then, not going to anarchy

Correct. Had a couple of NM patron stouts. Tremendous.

You need to do Left Luggage, The Ticket Office and Platform 2.

My mate tried to tell me Anarchy had some good beers recently. Fool.

 

[DoctorMick]

Bought a can of Imperial Jakeheeed. Could only afford one.

Drinking one now, it’s very nice. Not normally a fan of TIPAs.

I've had a couple that were OK. Stuff like Blonde Star, Citra Star is bland as fuck though

Seen your checkin of the Colin mcgregor stout earlier. Sounds canny.

Canny autocorrect there

Ignore the fact it's him, I had no idea when I bought the cans, and its quite decent. I was wary in my local mind as they sold horrific Guinness so this was a pleasant surprise.

Think it already existed & he was added to the branding. Only heard about it today. Lots of Guinness wannabes appearing right now.

I don’t think that’s the case, it started out as a beer brewed exclusively for his pub in Dublin. It was contract brewed at Porterhouse but Forged took off and McGregor has now bought out the brewery I believe.

Three tremendous little pubs. Second is the ticket office. Its got two rooms, so pic doesn't do it justice as those in were in the snug at the time.

Look class. This is firming up nicely

 

[Town End Farmer Giles]

Impy Jakey is superb. Bought 2 and will keep the other for a few weeks. Might even get another one or two if I get to rehills over the hols.

Big IPA's aren't my favourite style but this is really nice.

Of those

Forged > Brewdog > Camden

Not tried London Black yet.

Only had Camden on draft from Port of Call & it was all a bit of nothingness. BrewDog was alright like.

I might be tempted to go & get a Jakehead TIPA now like. Got a standard can in the house so might do them back to back.

Aye the Camden is very bland.

Was a bit pissed off with Wylam mind. Put my Wylam order in then the next day they release a plain porter, I'd have had a couple of those in my order.

Not tried the Forged but thought the Brewdog and Camden were both very poor in cans which is a shame as I used to be a fan of the Camden Ink. London Black is quality though.

As a sub 5% nitro stout for little more than a quid a can they do a job but I wouldn't buy any regularly. The Camden is by far the blandest though, even on draft its weak.

I'd pick Guinness over both of them given the choice.
