Nope. Not been well so off the beer for now, and going forward not sure I'll be drinking the high ABV stuff much.
Do this one as a one off, Health depending. It’s cracking.

Seen you mention it on another thread hope you're on the mend now.

Thanks, slowly improving. My days of 2 weeks alcohol units in one session are behind me though
3 cans of Stormy Petrel to top up the stash & a 24” pizza bought. 3 of us shared it & tyres still a 1/4 left for tomorrow

Went to new brewery in Manchester yesterday. Green arches, was set up from a couple of brewers who worked for beatnikz. Was very nice, good setting. Beers a bit basic but don’t think been going for too long. Good to see new places popping up
6 new beers in FCBC today, so a third of each. Highlight is a 12.5% Impy stout collab with Tartarus - it has ginger in it, so probably going to split opinion. I liked it though
Man, hope you’re ok.Thanks, slowly improving. My days of 2 weeks alcohol units in one session are behind me though

New brewery opening in Roker Queen Vic building out the back it seems
1 more than 2 South Shields which went under a couple of months back has changed their social media pages to Blockyard Brew Co - mainly cask for their own pubs it seems
Also Julio (lovely guy) who was brewer at Darwin/Brewlab is planning to open up his own brewery potentially in basement of ISIS

Probably had about 15 cans/bottles yesterday watching the football. Some pleasantly surprising decent session stouts. Tried the Vault City Coconut Raspberry Ripple sour from Tesco. Shite.
Wow. That’s really interesting about ISIS, like I needed another excuse to go there
Good to hear that there’s something going to emerge from 1 more than 2. I quite liked the space they had in Shields
Vault City is definitely a marmite thing. I’ve just had a bright green lemon and lime sour in FCBC. Utterly mad. But absolutely class.

Had it Saturday. Couldn’t be further away from my normal style, but I thought it sounded nice. Wasn’t.
The Tesco ones aren’t great. Unsurprisingly I love the collab they did with FCBC. Ginger and Lychee. The session choc chip blueberry waffle is absolutely class too.
Got both lined up for tonight.
One of the best beers I’ve had this year! I suppose if sours don’t float your boat I can understand why you didn’t enjoy it.
That’s about it like. I always feel a bit bad reviewing pales on Untappd. Even when they’re canny & perfectly drinkable, they’ll not get a decent mark purely because stouts have set a standard so high for me
What’s your favourite stout this year? I had that Vault City Gaelic Sea stout, thought it was fantastic.
Feel like their stuff is all I’m drinking lately. Though I do have an Imperial Florida Weiss 07 by Garden on the go atm…which is actually a sour and not a Weissbier.
I’m the same with wheat beers. I’ve got about ten on my Untappd. Won’t score them as I just don’t like them. I keep trying in the vain hope I’ll find one I like.
Try and get hold of the blackcurrant choc chip waffle. It wont be in a supermarket, just can/bottle shops. It’s one of the best they’ve done, way better than the stuff they’ve done for Tesco.

Got that waiting for me. Every now & then I have a bottle session when I’ll crack that one open.
Vaux’s Stormy Petrel is the best. Feel like I’m being biased sometimes with their stuff, but the three stouts & brown ale from them has all been class.
