Craft Beer


That the peanut butter one?
Just bought 4 of them Forged from Asda.

Wonder how a taste test would stack up.

Forged vs Guinness vs Brew Dog vs Camden Stout.

Murphys seems to have gone the journey
If you're going to do the taste test try and include the Anspach and Hobday London Black too.
 
I don't think they've got capacity to can it. London Black now makes up over 70% of their sales.

It's very good. Had a pint last week in Heaton Hops (Manchester).
I thought it was pretty average, loved it last year but just felt a bit meh this year.

Going to get a Camden stout from Sainsbury’s today. Got the other three in the house.

I know it’s not exactly craft, but think I’m going to do the 4 side by side tomorrow night. That’s all I’m having like, out all day in Doncaster on Saturday, so don’t need to be topping up.

Not had Forged but the other two aren't a patch on Guinness IMO. Really disappointed with the Camden as the old Ink that it seems to have replaced used to be good on draft.

Town Mouse is great for Cask. On a different note, has the little un landed yet?

I actually quite enjoyed the stout on tap in Port of Call a few months back. Nothing ground breaking but was nice to have a fairly straight up conventional offering. I'd agree I prefer Guinness. Although I prefer London Black above them all.

Yes! Two weeks ago today. That SRM was the first pint of cask I'd had since he was born which is probably in part why it tasted excellent. :-)

Only had one pint of Camden & thought it was pretty bland like. Went back to Guinness next.

See, love Guinness on tap, but cans aren’t very good. Murphys pissed all owa it.
Anyone know where sells Jakehead in cans, other than on line?
Always buy mine from Rehills. Think I’ll get a couple next time I’m in.

Always go for the Guinness Original in cans if possible rather than the smooth flow. Both better than the Brewdog and Camden though.

congratulations 👍

took me a good month for before I managed to get out for a pint afterwards, and the next 14-15 years it was very intermittent for childcare - hence my rather large untappd checkins since she hit 15ish :lol:
