    It reminds me of something but can't put my finger on it.

    Something that is repeated across all the departments in those shops since they were recently rebranded.

    Yum yum so far especially the F&F :D

    Started off with a Ska Euphoria, then Of Foam and Fury and finally a Whistle Blower.
    Got the 2nd and 3rd order wrong because I hadn't put the Whistle Blower in the fridge early enough.
    Don't drink it after a OF&F, particularly if it's been chilled. It really tastes very malty compared to the Galway Bay flagship. Funnily enough the maltiness mellows nicely once it warms up a bit.

    Yeah, I had a Whistleblower after a OFAF, I think and it didn't bode well.

    Modus hoperandi - I do love a good American IPA

    Jaw gate by Camden Gate, APA - meh

    Amberella - as good as you would expect.

    Also picked up 2 bottles of devil halfAcre - planning on having one at Xmas and kerping the other. What's it taste like?

    It hides it's 13.5 % very well. It's a lovely beer to drink slowly

    Tiny Rebel Fubar : not bad nice golden ale. Nice hop kick tiny bit peppery too.

    Tiny Revel Hadouken : good IPA when pouring loads of lovely smells come rushing out mainly pine and orange.
    Taste Has tropical fruits and caramel then a hop bitterness which is quite dry.

    Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA : had this before but this was the 2014 one and I found it very peppery. Didn't like it as much as before.

    Not even! I think they were trying to clear stock to make room for the cider festival.

    Visited a few pubs yesterday while in Dublin for the day.

    Started in Alfie Byrnes with Ole Ole by Eight Degrees. Really enjoyed it. Got lots of banana and spices from the aroma and taste. Then I had a USA Hells by Camden Town. I actually bought it for the wife but she found it too bitter so I had to drink it :pac:

    Saw they had Mare Incognita NZ on tap and not knowing anything about it decided to give it a try. I can see a lot of people not liking this style but I loved it. Also had the newest beer from Galway Bay, Table beer. Another lovely beer from them.

    Next was a short walk to Against the Grain for Reverand And The Makers American Brown by Thornbridge Brewery. It was nice. That's about all I can say about it.

    This evening I have something very special to open up at home. Incredibly fresh and all the way from Santa Rosa :)

    Redmonds seem to have a few UK breweries that the others dont - Buxton being one that springs to mind

    Supervalu is, in my experience, a bad place to buy beer. That's between the selection and the prices.

    These are a wedding present from a good friend. The Pliny has a bottle date of 13th June so pretty fresh.

    Founders curmudgeons old ale, i thought it was a smoked beer when i bought it. Oak aged so has that whiskey kick to it but it is pretty smooth. I dont like the style in general but this seems like a good one.

    Buxtons moor top pale ale. Only 3.6% heavily chinooked and to bad effect, barely managed to drink it. It was so spicy in a bad way.

    Beavertown smog rocket smoked porter, fantastic beer. Up there with the alaskan smoked porter. Really perfect body and they got the smoked just right.

    Do you know it's an offence to steal glassware?

    Why would that be surprising? White Gypsy make consistently good beers.

    Even if they aren't world-changingly spectacular, they are always extremely well crafted.
