Craft Beer


Non-alcoholic doesn’t count.
It doesnt if you're talking about alcoholic beer. The person in question was just talking about craft. Tbf the person doing it is also supping craft so it's hard to be sure what they are getting at. Perhaps it's sinply a dig at those pretending to be into craft.

The state of this man. Taprooms should either be in industrial estates, or next to scrapyards. This won’t do at all :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
My brother got me a box set of sours by Wild Beer at Christmas. Had some of their IPAs and pales from time to time and they're generally good. Never had sours before though and to be honest, better than I expected. The best one was called Unvined, 8.6%. Nearly like a mix of beer and wine. Not something I'd necessarily start drinking regularly but canny for a change
 
Mean Doses, Wellington. City Centre location, not far off waterfront. Nice brews too, Mean APA, Mean IPA, Scale of Mean and Gyruss for me.

It is in Tory street though @Ambivalent Dave 😁
As for Queenstown Altitude is in a great location too, couple of new buildings between it and Lake downgrades view slightly but still a cracker

Embrace it and you can become a lambic obsessed dickhead like me.

As it happens, if anyone was looking for a beer based holiday this year, the Toer de Gueuze has been confirmed for 9th/10th of May. Load of lambic breweries and blenders open their doors for the weekend and you hop between them all. It's great fun. You can even blend and bottle your own geuze at Lindemans.

The bus tickets are on sale now as well. 20 euros and they take you between 4 breweries across a day.

I would probably have it at a beer festival, somewhere like that, where you end up trying loads of different things. Glad I gave it a go anyway

Lambic is the way. Axis always have some on the go.

That gig sounds great.
 
We went to Brussels and had a few beers of the type you are discussing.

I think I’ve told this story before but after a few Delirium Tremons I went to go to the bogs and I thought I was going over!

It’s 8.5% and the old pink elephant gets you there trust me.

And this was not my first rodeo I can assure you.
