Innis and Gunn – The Whiskey Version

September 12, 2009 under Uncategorized

(I’ve come across a few old reviews that were saved on Facebook, so I’m reposting them here)

It comes in a box so it has to be nice

Well thats my impression when I see it on the shelf, the combination of the box and the suggestion of using a glass (as part of its sampling suggestion) lends this to being a classy beer.

My taster remarked on the strength of the beer, and to be honest it probably tastes stronger then it really is, due to the whiskey taste and smell the beer has. Probably in no small part thanks to the use of whiskey barrels during the production process.

To sum up: a fine beer which is worth while picking up from your local super market.

The Exeter Living Room

September 11, 2009 under Pubs

The Living Room ExeterNot much to say on the Beer front… Tetleys or Carlsburg is what you get. BUT if you can stomach either of those beers, this is a fantastic little cafe to chill out in for a pint or two with a mate.

There is a good selection of wines, good menu, and a great welcome from the staff.

As far as the food is concerned, if you like burgers, you have to try The Living Room Burger. Its an Exmoor burger, with cheese, three onion rings, and a slice of bacon. Beautiful!

Piddle in The Hole

September 10, 2009 under Uncategorized

Piddle in the Hole

I have to admit. I keep on wanting to call this “Piddle in the Middle”, its not the name of the beer more good advise.

But anyway back to Piddle in the Middle…

Its a little boring… but in a good way… I think.

By that I mean its very much a typical, slightly hoppy ale. If you like Ale, you probably like this. It wont blow you away, but you probably wont hate it, and at a pound a bottle from Morrisons you cant go too badly wrong!

Bath Ales: Golden Hare

September 6, 2009 under Uncategorized

golden Hare Bath Ales South West Beer

Imagine when you see someone tucking into some really sweet desert. Maybe something chocolatey, maybe something from the local sweet shop (if you have one). Either way. Imagine something really sweet.

Thats what the after taste of “Golden Hare” from Bath Ales hits you with. The beer itself is nice and refreshing, but the aftertaste kinda makes you wish you picked up something else.

Shame as I quite liked Gem and Barnstormer from the same Brewery.
