Not sure if I’ll be continuing the 30 a month thing long term but the beers are good to be fair. Phone Beer52 up and threaten to cancel and they will offer you it for £19 a month.

How many beers is the £30 offer? Usually it's £24 which is standard and you get 8 beers, a wee magazine and a bag of nuts. £19 though if you call up 👍 I've got a subscription with them. You can also pause your subscription every other month so if you're away in holiday or whatever you don't need to pay (this can be done online).

I don’t know to be honest. This is my favourite these days and a good session beer. When it is fresh, it has a taste that just puts it ahead of the others. Sell it on draught on match days at the Amex. Normally the highlight of the game too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hadn't had one of these in ages, ice cold went down a treat sitting in the garden. Working my way through one of these now. Purple Moose Brewery - Madog's Ale Really quite nice, quite malty with a caramel biscuit taste, quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the '79 Selection as the only two in the photo I've had are 'Old Jock' & 6.2 IPA the rest are new beers to me. Thanks for this. Just ordered the same thing for my dad for Father’s Day. It’s a decent deal on the big bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyjambo Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Drinking this at the moment, nice beer, taste of chocolate and raspberries, it’s been aged in red wine barrels which adds additional flavour, 11.3 abv Had this doppelbock beer the other week, can’t say I enjoyed it, strong malt flavour, not for me, first time I’ve had this type of beer, still have a couple left, which I will probably drink at some point or end up giving them away. Definitely prefer stouts and porters. Edited May 9, 2020 by jimmyjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Elgood's - Cambridge Dark IPA. Very similar to a normal IPA flavour but with a slightly roasted aftertaste, due to the use of roasted barley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Having a B.O.B. just now. That's a Bitter Old Bustard from Barsham Brewery in Norfolk. It's an 4.3% English Bitter, and very nice it is as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Z.E.E.P. from the Edinburgh Beer Factory, actually very nice. Finished that and have just started drinking this. A strong Belgian beer 9.5%, another very nice flavoursome beer. I've had quite a few beers from the Silly Brewery (9 now in total), when I was staying in Belgium doing a WWI battlefields tour the hotel we stayed at was only about 6km from the brewery, I had hoped to visit it but didn't have time, the hotel however stocked several of their beers, on draught and in bottles. It would have been rude not to sample the local brew, and there were some which I couldn't quite make my mind up about, so had to have several of them, purely in the interests of research, you understand. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Phamism Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I used to do a lot of work in Leuven, home of Stella Artois, and most of the local boy's I worked with would drink Tripel Karmeliet as their favourite. It's a really nice, easy drink, but with an 8.4% kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyjambo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Sainsburys is the only place that I have found it, if you are having a selection of beers drink this one first otherwise the subtle flavours will be lost.
