I avoid Hobgoblin bottles as they don’t seem to be compatible with the lever type hand capper.....in fact I broke mine trying to use them.

Reminds me of an old saying, wood warms you three times: once when you chop the tree down, once when you split and stack it and once when you burn it.......

Double Zombie please

My order went missing (despite arriving at the delivery depot) so Amazon refunded but told me no replacement available....... which was strange as it was still on their website so I reordered and it arrived with no problem . I wonder if the first lot arrived at the depot with a broken bottle.

This beer (which I love) once caused my credit card to be put on hold! It was on offer in a chain of small shops (I think it was Nisa) at four for £5 but most of the shops only had 4 or 8 in stock. I was driving round a part of Cambridgeshire house hunting and stopped at several of the shops to...

Tried one last night, best beer I’ve had for a long time, subtle coffee flavours, warming without the alcohol (10%) being too harsh. Should have bought more while in Scotland.

Nice subtle coffee notes in this one.

I’ve got a couple of bottles of their special reserve which I’m looking forward to trying soon.

You have a treat in store then! Cheers

I rather wish I’d bought more than one!

Have moved onto this gem of a beer, aged in whisky barrels for 3 years, this is superb, smoke and liquorice in there.

This is a new one on me, I had no idea any Trappist Ale is brewed in England. Found it in a beer shop on Whitby this morning. A little lively on opening ( lost a little) but a lovely flavour with a hint of figs.

Back on my stash after touring a few beer Shops over the last week.....notes of caramel and liquorice in this one.

No real ale in Roslin so had a pint of Caledonia Best.......slipped down easily enough.

That’s really interesting, I’ll be really interested to hear how you get on with the new deals.

Starting with a Belhaven Black which is slipping down very nicely. Found the Scottish Real Ale shop near Callander this morning......they say they have over 200 Scottish beers and ciders. Had to exercise some self restraint but not too much !

I bought 45 swingtops from brew2bottle, the seal was not the usual washer with a hole in the middle but a cone shape that covered the whole of the stopper......they were useless, beer had no carbonation after a few weeks. I did a few experiments comparing them to the more conventional type (used...

Old Jock Scotch Ale Can taste the alcohol in this , warming on a rainy evening but otherwise not very sophisticated.

After trying three pubs in Aberfoyle for real ale (in response to my question “what real ales do you have on” I was offered a craft lager in one of them) had a rather arduous cycle ride to a community pub in a small village by which time I was ready to drink anything . A pint of McEwans 70/-...

I must stock up with a few before going home!
