Hop House

[Mackem Tommy]

Craft beer, real ale.... all the same shite to me.

Waste of time and money.

Still not buying that you believe the 'if it was good it'd be everywhere' line.

As my normal tipple I prefer a lager with a bit of taste - Moretti, Kronenbourg - something along those lines.

However, once, while working in Glasgow, I had a pint of Bitter and Twisted on a friend's recommendation and have to say it was one of the best draught pints I have had. I would drink it all the time if it was widely sold down here.

Harviestoun brewery. Good beer that. Loch Fyne restaurants normally have it and Waitrose too.

Why wouldn't it be?

If you had a product so good you could sell it everywhere.... why wouldn't you?

A lot of the best beers come from micro breweries now. There’s one near me called Sirencraft that won champion beer of Britain this year and they operate out of a couple of small warehouse units. They have a bottling plant and a tiny cannery. To make their products viable they charge a bit more for them and they’re slowly going nationwide. f***ing tough going at first no matter how good and critically acclaimed your product is.

Pistonhead is alright, tried a couple of others but can't remember them off the top of my head. Not a craft lager like but brewdog's elvis juice is outstanding

Awful stuff, even if something isn't to my taste I can normally finish it off but got halfway through one of these and had to leave it.

It was f***ing rank and Im not lager snob

 

[Roaring Chubby]

Don’t like it at all. A pint of Carling is far better

 

[Two million voices]

I like the texture of it but it’s a pretty bland beer to be honest.

 

[Chap78]

It’s better out of a bottle than draught, I found.

 

[Latka Gravas]

It’s not bad and ok for a pint or two, much better than all the cooking lagers.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

It’s pretty average really. The marketing/brand sucks people in

I was hoping this was about the music genre Hip House but the OP got the name mixed up

Just try something new everytime you go in a Spoons.
Ask the bar staff to choose for you.

How do they know what you had last time?

Magic.

I used to like it but have gone off it recently.

 

[Connery73]

I like it, at least it has a taste... suspect those twisting about it like a pint of Bud Light or Coors

 

[Keawyeds]

Just supping a pint of it at the train station whetherspoons as everyone seems to be drinking it but I have to say it’s a bit shite. Anyone like “craft” lager?

It's halfway between a lager and an ale. I can't stand it

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Got a box of 12 off someone for me birthday. Had a few sips of one and gave the rest to guests whenever they came round. Even some of those were left half-finished.

I quite like Hop House.
