Craft Beer Tasting
Do you count this as a hobby? Not sure where else it fits in. Anyway, a place to chat about craft beers you've had and if you enjoyed them or not.
I had one of these last night:

TBH a Blueberry Lemon Oatshake IPA didn't and really, still doesn't sound the most appealing of beer descriptions to me but I felt like giving it a try. Out of my comfort zone and all that. I was pleasantly surprised. It was not overly fruity like I thought it would be. Will probably pick up again when I see it.

Re: Craft Beer Tasting
I cant say that i ever had the chance to taste any craft beers. I have always been a Newcastle brown man myself traditionally.
And as thats not always available, I normally drink guiness. But I wouldn't pass up the chance to try some craft beers.

Re: Craft Beer Tasting
I seem to remember drinking Newcastle Brown on my travels on British Rail in the 1970s - didn't the tins feature a selection of attractive ladies on them?
'no more blah blah blah'
Re: Craft Beer Tasting
I hope it counts as a hobby as then it means I at least have one.
Last beer I had was a Kinnegar Black Bucket. Hadn't seen it around in a while so was glad to get my hands on a few.

The best one I’ve had is sham maths by dead centre. Devils backbone is nice too.JONJO THE MISER wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 5:23 pm Anyone know of a good Amber Ale?
Very hard to find any in Ireland.

Fierce hungry after looking at the menu - https://www.beercos.com/order
Not a stout drinker but would give them twelve a good lash going by the names alone.
