I avoid Hobgoblin bottles as they don’t seem to be compatible with the lever type hand capper.....in fact I broke mine trying to use them.

Reminds me of an old saying, wood warms you three times: once when you chop the tree down, once when you split and stack it and once when you burn it.......

Double Zombie please

My order went missing (despite arriving at the delivery depot) so Amazon refunded but told me no replacement available....... which was strange as it was still on their website so I reordered and it arrived with no problem . I wonder if the first lot arrived at the depot with a broken bottle.

This beer (which I love) once caused my credit card to be put on hold! It was on offer in a chain of small shops (I think it was Nisa) at four for £5 but most of the shops only had 4 or 8 in stock. I was driving round a part of Cambridgeshire house hunting and stopped at several of the shops to...

Tried one last night, best beer I’ve had for a long time, subtle coffee flavours, warming without the alcohol (10%) being too harsh. Should have bought more while in Scotland.

Have moved onto this gem of a beer, aged in whisky barrels for 3 years, this is superb, smoke and liquorice in there.

This is a new one on me, I had no idea any Trappist Ale is brewed in England. Found it in a beer shop on Whitby this morning. A little lively on opening ( lost a little) but a lovely flavour with a hint of figs.

Back on my stash after touring a few beer Shops over the last week.....notes of caramel and liquorice in this one.

No real ale in Roslin so had a pint of Caledonia Best.......slipped down easily enough.

That’s really interesting, I’ll be really interested to hear how you get on with the new deals.
