Craft Beer


Did a tasting with Crossover Blendery last night. Tried their latest four offerings, all absolutely sublime. If you enjoy wild/spontaneously fermented beer you should be seeking them out. Not particularly sour, and they're all bone dry, class gear.

Two of the poshest blokes I've seen in beer mind. :lol: Sound as though.

Love stuff like that. Had some lovely little earth project in the past. Also had some utter shite from them too. Guess it comes with the territory
 
Had some titanic plum porter the other day in the forth. Though it was a cracking pint. Not sure if it has already been said but thought I would share anyway.
Think it’s seen as a quite traditional drink. Been around for years & well thought of. Plum’s not my thing because it seems to have stood the test of time.

Aye Little Earth Project are brilliant as well, I'd love to visit their pub/taproom at some stage but it's properly in the middle of nowhere so we'd need to stay the night. Maybe one weekend for a change of scenery.

Crossover are opening at taproom at their barrel store next month. That one looks easy enough to visit from London, train up to Stevenage and then a local bus, so I'll certainly be paying them a visit when the weather picks up.
 
Seems the word is getting out about the taproom. Clearly something organised amongst Gillingham lot. Two tables full and counting 😀 biggest turnout of away fans this season in here. outnumbered at the minute …. Good news for Vaux like, they’re hammering the pints :cool:

Mag loving wankers.

Will be along to sample the stout for an hour or so at half three.

Rehills mission this morning. Four stouts from Brew York (the four in the offer pack referenced earlier) and a couple of IPAs from Full Circle that I've not had before.

Aye. Place half full of them now. Tbf, they’ve been no bother.

Have a go of the Full circle dipa they have on. It’s decent.

I think I prefer the 1899 out of bottle tbh, or I just need to let the keg pour warm a bit !

Just having a couple. Had a Stout, and about to get a second to confirm, but on first impressions you are indeed correct about bottle being better.
 
Just popped in East coast Inc in seaburn on the way to meet the wife. Enjoyed it, had some decent choice drinks in there. Would have stayed longer if I could seems a decent bar, different.

What did you sample?

Been down the local bottle shop today before our game. Overtone plum, cherry and redcurrant gose on draft. Fantastic gear that.

Tell you what, buy your cans and bottles before settling into a few beers in a bottle shop. :lol: Got half cut having a bit crack with the owner and ended up spending a fortune.

Some motley crew looking pilsner, tasted like a west coast IPA. It was nice. Fancied the topic (as in the chocolate bar) stout but I saw it after I ordered. Will have to go back there, didn't know it existed was walking past on the way from the metro to the Marriott. If the Mrs is much longer I'm going to walk back.

Was overtone plum the name? that sounds nice.
Tell you what it's was the best thing in the world compared to the San Miguel in the Marriott

Aye I like it anarl. Oceans on opposite side of the road is another micro bar, although most of their craft stuff is can rather than on tap. A further up again back towards Metro is Lighthouse, does some good Maxim stuff if that's your thing.

I'm gutted I left now still waiting for the wife who is an hour late. I'm grimacing every time I take a sip of the San Miguel here.

Wish I liked that type of slurp. Look great but just can't get away with it. I think the issue is all the ones I've tried it just didnt feel like an alcoholic drink.

Your final point will hit home with many :lol:

@Ambivalent Squirrel you are correct.
