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.
