Not been on this thread for ages
How poor are Beavertown these days? Got a Sun God on the go and it’s bang average
Verdant still best brewery in the country

piss poor. They’re just a branch of Heineken.
Verdant would be a lot better if I knew how to pronounce it properly

Ver Dant. Definitely.

I borrowed them off him earlier after a pint in The Jolly.
Like a verdant green field. 'Ver-dunt'. NOT Ver Dant.
I was out at Balance last night. They keep getting better and better. Their funky table beer is really outstanding, I could drink pints of that. Had a pint of their guest lager as well, Utopian British lager. Blindingly good as well. Maybe the best lager I've had in the UK.

Incorrect. Not surprised after seeing those does tho.
fun fact, back when I was a student in Sunderland used to convince students not from the area that Vaux was pronounced “V’eau”Clash City Rockers67

Cracking place is Brinkburn. Do some cracking bottles. Got a tremendous strawberry impy stout (10.4%) from there. Will get another to take home on Thursday (going to have an afternoon through there).
They do their own thing. Can’t remember being overly blown away by any of their core beers, but like their vibe.

The big hitter stouts (think there's three of them) in big bottles are great. Not bothered with the core much. Always have a good Earl Grey IPA on most weeks. Love it.
Worth checking out then? Don’t think I’ve had anything by them before.
That said, & I know I’ve said this lots before, I’m sort of off the drink for a bit. Think I’ve got 2 “events” where drinking will happen before the end of June. Wouldn’t mind dropping at least a stone before holiday at the end of July.

As Dave said, they aren't big players and I've not bothered much with the core stuff. As a fan of impy stouts though they have a couple of beauties to their name. The place itself is good too. Plenty of beers on offer. Decent food too.
Now that's the good stuff.
