Basically every week or 2 I try at new beer/ale that I never had before.

This week my local is stocking a few beers from Marstons brewery.

I am at the moment trying their Old Empire IPA. Very nice indeed.

Anyone else do something similar?

Yep. Though a little more often than every week or two

Try some weiss beer if you haven't tried it before.

Went to the Marstons brewery a few weeks ago, and bought a mixed box of all their beers. Didn't think much of the Old Empire IPA. Tastes a bit like when I tried to increase the alcohol of my homebrew by adding loads of sugar.

Had a few bottles of this Russian porter the other night
Baltika 7%
Not too bad. Nice to mix it up every few weeks.

Really nice kind of refreshing type of beer.
