Will give it a try DOJ, thanks. I keep trying things that I think I don't like just in case it's a one off but the banana thing keeps confirming my dislike.

OK, so far I'm three and a half beers through the haul. The two Black IPAs, Bevertown Black Betty and Brewdog Arctic nation were both great, but I have to say I prefer the Brewdog. I don't know how they do it, but their IPAs are so crisp and clean. The hops really shone through. The Girardin Kriek was spectacular. Real massive hit of cherries, tartness, a bit of sweetness, and so light and refreshing. Mmmm... delicious. I'm on to the Wild Beer Co. Sourdough, which is brewed with Brett and sourdough yeast. Geeez, this is sour, but not in a bad way at all. I've never had anything like it before.
I'm at work and already wishing it was beer o'clock.
Brakspear Oxford Gold is on offer in my local Morrisons (ã1 a pop) so I'll be having one of those while my homemade IPA conditions.
I usually use Friday to have something a little stronger like Leffe or Westmalle but I'll see what's on offer.

I've a couple of Founders All Day IPA in the fridge and I reckon I'll bung another bottle of my still conditioning American Amber (although its the darkest bloody amber I've seen!) to see what that's like now. It's had over 2 weeks, so should be coming along ok now I reckon.

Just cracked open a lagunitas, sadly it's warm but I'm desperate!

Celebrating with a Citra/Amarillo Pale Ale from my own cupboard after a Shipyard and a Devils backbone down the pub....
if you get a taste for sours - try the boon oude gueze - that will strip paint :lol: in a nice way.

Always learning...
I do this now and again, normally around pay day's with some OT added, buy a bunch of randoms as a treat/experiment :grin:
That looks an excellent selection, only one I've had is the heather ale, which tbh, was not up to my expectations (lot of Google bumph on this one).
Sometimes you discover something unusual and excellent - that's how I first came across a black IPA (Alechemy) and an orange peel oat stout 'March of the Penguins'.
Enjoy mate... :drink:

Thanks baggybill,
This is the first time I've bought a load like this. When I was in London, about 5 years ago, I used to go the the Royal Mile whiskey shop every second pay day or so to get a half decent bottle of single malt. This is a bit cheaper, and I get to try 16 different drinks! Anyway, I'm just cracking open the last one now. Cheers!

I'm at a loss here, I hate both sides. I probably hate Man Poo more as a side, but my loathing for Pardew probably trumps it.

I wouldn't be surprised given the way United have been this season...
Only had a few this evening. Up early to head to Waterloo Tap before heading to Wembley.
Had a Rocket Morpheus, a Danish Brown Ale brewed with Brettanomyces. Was ok, but a little thin and fairly one-dimensional. Then had a Blacks of Kinsale Black IPA, didn't have much hop character and again was very thin. Finished off with one of my Belgian Strong Goldens as a tester. Needs more conditioning, but I've got high hopes for this.
Also have a 750ml bottle of Saison Anniversaire, but that's staying in the fridge.
