Wells Bombardier Satanic Mills

Imagine Darkness. I mean really imagine the darkest part of your inner soul when you’re having a bad day,and its dark outside.

Thats how dark this is stuff is.

But dont get me wrong, after the first few gulps this stuff really is quite nice and smooth. As per the website:

Satanic Mills uses richly-roasted ‘chocolate’ malt, the finest English hops and our very own natural mineral water. The result is a seductively dark ale with coffee and blackberry aromas, a finely balanced depth of flavour, a surprisingly smooth palate and a nostalgically smokey finish.

Worth drinking chilled!

Can having a beer be an act of Worship?

August 11, 2009 under Uncategorized

Gordon C. Stewart seems to think so:

Sometimes having a beer is a sacramental act, a kind of holy moment, a foretaste of the kind of world we seek, the dissolving of the divisions, community created boldly by grace out of the vain searches for innocence and the broken, rancorous claims of righteousness.

I so very agree!

The Grand Otter Round Up! Part 1

July 22, 2009 under Uncategorized

Otter Beer Bright Devon AlesLast week we went on a small tour around East Devon, ending up in Budleigh Salterton. It may appear to be a quiet sea side town, but at least it has a decent cheap Threshers. What I was impressed with was the 3 bottles of local beer for 6 quid. We brought three bottles of Otter Beer:

Otter Bright.

Tastes light and looks it as well with its very blond colouring. It does taste very refreshing, but doesn’t have the freatest amount of taste. Possibly a good beer for people who are far too much into Lager, with that in mind – it is a fine beer to have while enjoying the sun.

Otter: Beautiful Daze

Devon Otter Beer Beautiful DazeI have to admit. I am confused. This is a nice beer – its a good drink, and refreshing, like Otter Bright mentioned above, while having a stronger malty tast. Making it more of a beer that lager lovers may turn down.

But – and here’s the thing I’m confused about. If you buy it on tap in a pub you’ll find it known as Otter Bitter. When I tried Otter Bitter in a pub – I really didn’t enjoy it, I found it boring and tasteless. The only thing I can think of is that the Beautiful Daze was chilled – maybe it was warm in the pub? I can’t remember to be honest.

Still to come: Otter Head

Competition Time: Guinness Sends Fans into Space

July 22, 2009 under Uncategorized

It seems that Guinness have gone and launched a totally crazy competition. Do you fancy going into space? I’m not sure but it’d be great if you could drink Guinness in space!

With thanks to James from Splendid Communications for the tip off…

Journey into the black with the makers of the black stuff

Guinness sends fans into space

How do you fancy being one of the first passengers  to venture into outer space with Virgin Galactic? How about enjoying a pint of Guinness in a bar built deep under the ocean? Or what about an intimate recording session with one of the biggest recording artists in the world? The people at Guinness are set to celebrate 250 years by giving fans the opportunity to win prizes that are beyond even your wildest dreams.

Guinness Studio Session

Finally, one lucky winner and friends will experience an intimate, live performance by The Black Eyed Peas at one of their recording sessions for their forthcoming world tour, before spending some time chilling out with the band over a pint of the black stuff.

Galactic Guinness

Guinness will offer one lucky person the opportunity to become one of the first ever non-professional astronauts to venture into space. Following full training to ensure the winner is mentally and physically prepared for the flight that will race them through the Earth’s atmosphere at almost 2500mph (three times the speed of sound), the winner will experience the amazing feeling of weightlessness, float effortlessly around the cabin, and view planet Earth from the blackness of space, stretching 1000 miles in all directions

Deep Sea Drinking

Guinness will also be rewarding one Guinness fan and two friends the chance to venture to the depths of the sea in the first ever Guinness deep sea bar. The guests will be treated to an incredible four day trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway, where they will board the exclusively designed deep sea bar and enjoy a pint of the black stuff surrounded by a breathtaking seascape up to depths of 70m below sea level.

All three Guinness Experiences form part of a global competition open to all adults** around the world and will run from 1st July through to Arthur’s Day, 24th September (*for more information on Arthur’s Day see notes to editor).

Svyturys Baltas Wheat Beer

July 5, 2009 under Uncategorized

svyturys wheat beerIf like me, you’ve tried a wheat beer before and thought it tasted a little bitter, forget it. This is actually quite nice. A sweet almost fruity taste that is refreshing, yet somehow is heavy with (obviously) wheat.

I only picked it up because I thought it looked interesting. Its a fine beer too!

Maybe I should start some sort of scoring system for the reviews?
