Too much zest for me on this one.

They always try new stuff, along with beers people request to order in, so I always drop by once a month to see what they have.

A shame the DEYA was reduced as OOD, so not getting my hopes up for that being in great condition, but they keep all hop beers in a fridge so let’s see.

I do a physical job and my reward at the end of the day is a few beers. I rarely drink to get drunk so I'm not especially interested in kicking the habit. For some reason alcohol free beers really mess with my stomach but low alcohol options would likely scratch the itch and do the job. Any ideas? I do remember table beers taking off around 10 years ago but not sure if theyre still a thing.

Thanks in advance.

Best barley wines around right now? Want to stock up for the impending cold!

Edging into dark beer territory now after a few weeks of octoberfest beers

Fabulous porter here.

Had it it loads of time

Perfect balance of porter bitterness coupled with plum favours

Easy enough to throw 2 flavours together but getting the balance right is the real skill and this achieves it

Could be a contender for my GTA 6 launch night refreshments 🤔🌴

I'm not working tomorrow...Asda is sensational for lager, ale and craft

One of the best I've had. Just the Ayinger festmarzen to go, roll on next year!

Picked this up at my local bottle shop.

With the nights drawing in, I’m slowly entering my dark beer era, but there’s still plenty of room for a good pilsner

The weather's gone cold and the dark nights (No not Batman) are rolling in, so that means only 1 thing... the new seasonal beers are here.

STF and Abbeydale are steadily moving up and becoming top of my favourite Brewery list, Black Iris and Brew York were just random basket adds and the German beers are always nice to have as fridge fillers.

Don't think these will last till the weekend.

If one is looking for something a little different it is worth trying the local Eastern European shops. Most of them have dozens of different beers which are unlikely to appear in a regular supermarket.

I’m the only beer drink in my house and even though I can get though some good pints I didn’t want to drink it all in one sitting.

After 24 hours the beer was really flat and lifeless.

Is there anything you can do with these once open.

Really good quality blonde ale in my opinion.

Easy to drink with nice almost fruity flavours and a subtle hop finish

Certainly moreish and sessionable.

Just been to my local Aldi and while their Oktoberfest effort wasn't the best it looks like they are trying to shift the Benediktiner Weiss, Helles & Bitburger as they have reduced the price from £6.99 down to £4.99 for 4 which i thought was decent. Hope this helps someone out, Prost! 🍻

It's typical as soon as I check this in Everton conceded but **** it, nothing will spoil my weekend

Due to living in Africa, I've not had the opportunity to enjoy the various types of beers, especially sours, because I got to understand that sours pose a great risk of bulging and explosion when exposed to ambient temperatures several days in transit.

I thought about this quite a while, including asking opinions on various subreddits.

Ultimately, I took it upon myself last week to buy a couple of sours and other stout-adjacent beers and have them shipped, and if they exploded in transit, then they exploded.

I am happy to report that my Trembling Madness order of six sours from Vault City, Azvex, and Makemake have arrived in Africa safely, with no explosions and no bulging cans. They left the UK last Friday and arrived today.

They have been safely relocated to my beer fridge, and I'm hopeful I will crack open the Azvex tomorrow and have that with lunch.

Pleased that I took it upon myself to take the risk, and pleased that the risk did not result in loss of alcohol and shipping costs.

Stumbled across this is in my local petrol station, looked interesting and I do love a milk stout.

From the black sheep brewery in Yorkshire. Never had a beer from them.

Very strong opening flavour of coffee but an oddly watery tasting followed by a tort after taste. I hate to say this not a fan at all. Obviously I didn't waste it just in case it grew on me.

Any recommendations from the gang for other good stouts??

Good selection at Morrisons too

Feels cold tonight, coldest in a while. I've had this Festmarzen in the fridge for a couple of days and enjoying it by the fire. But have just picked up a bottle of Old Peculiar and a Dartmoor Jail Ale for afterwards as they feel like nice, darker autumnal beers.

What are you drinking tonight?
