Time to collect it all together!

Anyway, one advantage of drinking less than I used to is I can go for quality ahead of quantity. Tried this when on holiday a couple of years back and really enjoyed it.

So now I get a case now and again. Their other beers are pretty good, too. Not so sure about the dark ones (not really for me) but the others? They go down nice and easily.

I'd much rather give my money to these people directly than the international conglomerates that stock supermarkets. Small breweries need all the help they can get at the moment. Who wants to live in a world where your choice is Carling, Guinness or John Smiths

Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I drink beer for enjoyment now anyway, rather than to get pissed, so may as well have a nice pint! Had some shockers trying random stuff, but also uncovered some surprising gems.

This is actually lovely, believe it or not!

Black Garlic Beer

An Island brewed artisan amber ale, crafted to perfection to give a bittersweet malt and hop taste. Infused with an unlikely but majestic garlic note, using our extraordinary heat-aged Black Garlic.

Highly recommend pretty much everything that Byatt's do.
They seem to have avoided some of the quirkier modern craft beer fads and just make very straightforward, very tasty beers.
They're available to order for collection or delivery during lockdown too.
And they are local.

Hmm, free delivery, and some other leftfield choices in there. They might get some custom...

I once tried a beer in the back room there that was 20 quid a pint. It honestly tasted like sick.

I didn't, you can get a taster for 3 quid. I didn't even buy that my mate did.
They did used to sell a nice cherry beer, I'll accept the ponce charge for drinking that!

Augustiner Helles is an excellent Bavarian one, there’s a shop in Earlsdon that sells it and presumably online.

Yeah, decent. I went to the Augustiner braurerie in Munich a few years back. You can't really go wrong with German lager bar Holsten Pils

Think it's the locals' favourite over there, was probably the best of the ones I tried.

I’ve bought a few crate off Flavourly the last couple of months. Think I mentioned it before. They work with independent breweries. Decent selection.

The official lager of Nigel Farage. Flat piss with a tinge of red, white and blue.

That is criminal. 2 fucking percent?

I remember when cheap lagers that tasted like drain fluid at least had the good grace to contain industrial levels of alcohol and were revered among the down and out community.

They wouldn't give that piss the time of day.

Hop House 13 - made by the good people at Guinness

I'm not a fan of their hipster 'punk' schtick. But I had this over the summer and it's spot on, especially on a hot day. Cold, crisp and refreshing.

You had that pineapple beer from dhillons once I remember. That also tasted like sick.

The ipa brewdog have made for Aldi is very nice for 1.29 a can.
