Ok. A couple of days I posted about a bottle of Otter Bright, that seemed to include some floaty bits… which well looked wrong. Being a little bit disgruntled, I emailed the Otter Brewery about this, and I have to say I am well impressed with how the issue has been dealt with. Yes the [...]

Budweiser Route 66 – Beer Review
Well I found something that looked a little new in our local tescos. It was a warm day, the beer looked refreshing, and at £2.50 for a 4 pack I figured it was worth a go. So what is this new beer? Well “Budweiser 66″ is Budweiser’s attempt to cash in on the current increase in mild [...]

A Bad Bottle of Otter Bright?
I’m sure this isn’t sediment… Looks a little too lumpy, it was also kinda floating a it was poured. The best before date is next year… So I’m kinda confused. I am a fan of Otter Bright…but I really hope the other one I have isn’t like this! Needless to say – this bottle of [...]

Sampling Bernard Dark (Czech Lager)
Sorry for the lack of update recently. Its been a combination of things, such as starting a webdesign course, going to Dartmoor, and having to install new operating systems on both PCs!

They seem to be so proud of ‘East Green’s – Green credentials that they slapped the words “CARBON NEUTRAL” all over the front of the bottle. To the extent that it seems more [...]

Bath Ales – Festivity
Whats better then finding money you didn’t know about? Finding Beer you forgot about! It gets even better when your expectations are more then met. The label to this (delayed) Christmas beer talks about coffee, and roasted chocolate…which – well are not my favourite things to be in beer. But in this case, its really [...]

Best Curry Beer? (A Beer Review of sorts)
Last night was curry night in the flat. To celebrate the curry, I decided what was the best beer to go with the curry in question: First up was a Fosters. The student choice! Slightly fizzy and tasting a bit like water, I only drank this as something to drink while cooking. Seemed to improve [...]

The Insanely Bad Elf (Beer Review)
“ooooo thats interesting” – Mrs Beer… There are some beers that you need to warm up to. Gulden Draak is one… Insanely Bad Elf is now my second one. Its a strong beer at 11.2% and it really does taste like it. To be perfectly honest when you buy a beer with mad looking insane [...]
