I was just reading a post somewhere on t'interweb from somebody wanting to clone that. I'll certainly give it a try if I can find it, the Estrella was from Sainsburys but they don't stock Inedit. Cheers
No excuse for serving sour beer at the brewery, they should have showered you in beers as an apology. Their Necessary Evil range is good.

It was very much a pale ale. The I of IPA much more marketing than an indicator of style. Perhaps not unlike Greene King IPA in that respect.
It was far from being a great beer but it did the job just fine.
Shame! I got mine from Sainsbury's but noticed both Sainsbury's and Tesco's are currently showing it as out of stock.

Taking my youngest daughter’s dog for a walk and he brought us to the pub (he’s a good lad). I’m having a Sussex Best.
After the dog walked us home I’m having a session NEIPA to start. This one, Girl from Mars, is 4.8% and is a collaboration between Buxton Brewery and Brithop Brewing Co. I bought it because it uses Harlequin hops, one I’ve not used before and although I think I might have tried a beer with these hops at homebrew club I can’t for the life of me remember the flavour.
SWMBO bought a couple of bottles of shore leave last week and i had forgot they were in the fridge i tried one earlier and i was impressed i will buy again.
Staying with Hazy IPAs, this Heathen from Northern Monk is 7.2% and is very fruity with a little sweetness and a nice warming alcohol flavour. Very nice.
I watched the 1954 film "Devil girl from Mars" a few weeks ago. The robot looked like a washing machine with legs. For older viewers it had Fraser from Dad's army in it. Note the film's strap-line - "Mankind's greatest threat is a single woman". I'm sure the intent was 'just one woman' but its open to interpretation
This 8% DIPA next from Buxton Brewery and this is another one I quite like, it has that lovely blend of fruity hops, malty sweetness, and alcohol warmth.
Just saw No.2 Son off to Australia. Toasting his safe travels with (at least) one of these.
Nice! I was almost going to go for one of those myself, but decided something from the homeland was more apt.

Another one leaving these shores. Will soon be nearly every family in Ireland that has someone on the far side of the world.
Haven’t had a powers in years. How does it stand up to all the new Irish whiskeys?

How do you rate that compared to the 10 ?
I generally prefer a 10 year old whisky to one younger or older but this is still a nice drop and for the price (£27 on Amazon) I’m very happy with it.
Too right mate! At least Homer Simpson was right, alcohol provides the temporary solution to all life’s curveballs. To be honest, I’m more worried for Australia than I am for him.
I really like this one. Distinctly Powers but dangerously smooth. I’ve found them to be pretty consistent and well worth trying.
When in Rome (or albania)..... try Albanian wine!
No wine connoisseur but this tastes very
young and I'm not sure about metallic aftertaste. Not sure this will be troubling the 'finest' aisles anytime soon. Drinking interrupted by my youngest spewing.
Particularly enjoyed eating it with white meet.
