Dawnrazor Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 A black and tan had various guises depending on where you went, to me, the best was a half of 70 in a pint glass and a bottle of sweetheart stout to top it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muldoon74 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 All these real ale and microbrewery stuff look lovely.. Will need to save up for them though.. Meanwhile I've reverted to quantity and am very much enjoying a some, standard pissy stuff these days.. Got a taste for corona and sol since lockdown (never touched it before).. Also revisiting heineken, Stella and loving a couple bottles of magners after work. Stepdaughter got me a Flavourlymixed case for xmas 2 years ago. Some very nice ipa and stouts in there, may well order another at some point. Meanwhile local co-op, asda, Morrisons do loads of piss, for much cheapness..

Stuart Lyon Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) It is made for export but I believe it can be bought in the shop at the Tennent's Museum in Glasgow! I got it from my son who works at Tennent's brewery. If you don't live in the west take a day out and do the tour and visit the shop.

Old Jock has taken over from McEwans Champion as my go to beer now, just so much more flavour than the Champion has. Was talking to my B-in-L who also likes a brew or two, and he was moaning about the rise in fruit flavoured beers, such as Mango, Pineapple blah blah blah, we both agreed that hopefully it is just a fad like it was back in the mid-late 90's. Got Beers of Europe vouchers from my girls for Father's Day, ordered 24 bottles, 22 are Stouts, Porters, Brown Ales or Altbier, the other 2 are Pale Ales, should get it delivered tomorrow, hopefully.

Mud City Stout, Peaky Blinder, Red IPA, Boris Citrov & Mellow Yellow, were imo the best ones I've tried from Sadlers, the rest average.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Next up was a Diebels Altbier (4.9%), which is a cross between a Lager & a German dark beer.
