jimmyjambo Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Tonight’s beer is a BrewDog and Evil Twin collaboration, 9% abv, Vietnamese coffee stout, lovely, it is quite sweet, taste of coffee and chocolate, £3.50 from Tesco, will definitely buy again.

Very nice, the family that own the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery also own the Orange Tree in Kirkby Lonsdale, if you're ever in the area go, great beers and great steaks and burgers for great money, they do a few different types from lighter ales to a Porter, all made 10 miles from me. It sticks in my craw a wee bit but there some really beautiful English ales. Farm Yard Breweries also do some beautiful beers.

HMFC01 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Crikey! Very directly, if it's any good, I'll ask for it while I am sober, no bother.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Been around 5 years since I tried this, and it's still fairly good, nice easy drinking beer. Then I had a Williams Klute West Coast IPA, again a nice easy drinking beer, nothing exceptional but still nice enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend upon how much you can drink & handle I'd suppose. Probably two or three would be my limit before having to move onto something lighter, otherwise I'd only make a right James Hunt of myself. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavaarHearts Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 If you like mixtape and real ale order direct from Fyne. This is their fynefest 2020 take on it, I've been ordering from them recently and x2 mini kegs delivered for a fiver, usually takes 2 days. https://shop.fyneales.com/daydreamer-ipa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Good Scottish beer this, I have a bottle of this every now and then. Brewed by the Cairngorm Brewery in Aviemore, however the first time I tried Wildcat it was brewed by the Tomintoul Brewery, in 2000 the Aviemore Brewery & the Tomintoul Brewery merged to become the present day Cairngorm Brewery. Wildcat, Stag & Nessie's Monster Mash are all original Tomintoul beers now in the Cairngorm Brewery stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, at least I’ve never seen them in any shop/supermarket, I bought them direct from https://thornbridgebrewery.co.uk/ , but they aren’t part of their core range and don’t brew them often, and they don’t have any at the moment.
