Morning All. . .

Long have I fantasised and mused about the possibility of running a blog, but never have I been able to think of a subject I think people would be interested in.

However, whilst sat with a pint one day, and making notes about this particular beer (a sad habit I have become accustomed to), I decided that you know what. . . With there being such a huge choice out there these days, so many craft breweries popping up all over the place, never has there been a more exciting time to try new, weird and wonderful brews.

Equally, there are so many bog standard, run of the mill beers out there since the introduction of more and more hipster IPA’s that all taste very similar (one of the reasons I am not a fan of lager). . . Hopefully I can bring you some honest critique.

I havent really decided on a format for this yet, but my plan is to effectively just review different beers, with a simple scoring chart based on how I find them, with a few notes around the flavour etc. I am NOT going to be getting all poncy about it.

If its of use to anyone, great, if not. . . Its just a reference for myself, so that I know what I like and dont. . . Lifes too short to be drinking shite beer more than once!

Brew By Numbers – 64

A Cherry trifle flavoured imperial stout.

Quite chocolatey, but lacking in the cherry area. all in all a great beer, but just another disappointment on the cherry front. You can taste a vanilla type flavour too. . .

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 10%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 4.5/5

Brew By Numbers – 10

An imperial coffee porter. And a nice one at that. Very strongly coffee flavoured, and you can really taste the alcohol in it. Solid all rounder.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 9.5%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 4.5/5

Brew York – Ripple Twister

A raspberry ripple oatmilk IPA. soft, mild and fruity, sweet, but not fantastic, similar to Raspberry Pie that BY released a few months back.

An interesting beer, but not really for me.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 6.5%

Would I recommend? Not really

Would I buy again? Unlikely

Rating: 3/5
