The Banks might be on Holiday....

Hi Everyone.

Good week this week, a few new beers in and some extra stock of stuff that some people missed last time out.

Dancing Duck make a welcome return to the fold, with a selection of beers that should suit most tastes. Aye-up is back in, as are 22 and Nice Weather at the session-able golden end of things, whilst there are limited quantities of Dark Drake, Abduction and Seduction for those who like it stronger or darker.

Summer Wine is also on the bounce back, with Zenith that is actually Zenith this time, and another few big hoppy beers that we haven’t seen before. ‘Baron von Belicose’ has been claimed by the Yorkshiremen as their most heavily hopped beer. An absolute monster of an IPA brewed with Citra, Centennial, Mosaic, Southern Cross and Galaxy to give Citrus, Bubblegum, Blueberry, Mango, Papaya, Lemongrass and Passionfruit flavours. This is then triple dry-hopped to boost the aroma still further….7.5% abv as well, it’s certainly something to behold.

It’s joined by another ‘Devil Loves’ hopped with Chinook this time, as well as a few more kegs of Berry Big Porter, the 7.2% ‘Imperial’ version of ‘Teleporter’ with added fresh figs and blackberries, and some more ‘Devil Loves Nelson Sauvin’. I love Nelson Sauvin as well…what does that say about me?

Tiny Rebel continue to forge ahead with new launches, and this week we have ‘Loki’ which puts the last 5kg of ‘Jester’ hops from Charles Faram to good use. You will remember them as the hop used for ‘Empire Strikes Back’ at the end of last year, so a bit special. We’ve also brought forward the delivery of the next batch of ‘Hank’ to satisfy those who missed it last week, and some ‘Full Nelson’ just because.

Anarchy have also sent us something new from the North East, who is going to their ‘Mash Up’ Festival next weekend? If you can’t make that, then we have a few casks of ‘Rough Justice’ a 4.5% Amber Rye beer, and more Blonde and Citra Star, topped off with ‘Quiet Riot’ the Kiwi IPA, and ‘Grin and Bare it’ which seems appropriate for the Geordies.

Last but not least, more Wild Card from as far away as Walthamstow. Their beautiful Ruby Ale is a wonderful pint. Proper.

Have a great weekend folks
