What beer are we drinking this week? Episode 3

Yeah I’m a bit P’d off with GBB’s strategies these days. They seem to be wanting to push punters towards buying 330ml cans of everything. OFAF I kind of get because it’s kind of a heavy hitter but the Bay Ale and Full Sail shoukd st least be in 440ml cans. Chopping around the range isn’t great either. I was in Salt House yesterday and was told Buried At Sea is discontinued. Time was they had two stouts on the go. I forget the other one as I was a BAS fan. Ostara isn’t that great imho and it’s hard to get a right impression as well with those pi$$y little 330ml cans. Seems like they’re in it fur tge cash grab now or she’s disappearing up their own jaxies!

Thanks! Yes, Stormy Port. That was it. Definitely a good core I’d have thought. I had a pint of Flaggy Shore, their oyster stout yesterday and I wasn’t left feeling too enthusiastic. Mind you I had a Lindemans Frambroise just prior so that would have altered my impression.

Im having a Western Herd Siege right now. It’s a great beer I think. I have the Spanish Point in the fridge so will try that next. Haven’t had it before. Western Herd seem to just be improving more abd more as time goes by. Personally speaking I found their earlier stuff very hoppy and it seemed to give me attrocious hangovers so I gave them a bit of a berth for a while but I’ve recently tried their stuff again and really like it. I’m delighted for them as well. I’m from Clare so it’s great being able to support the locals and county colours don’t come into it now. I’d be drinking their stuff anyway.

Christ! That’s awful and I’m sorry to hear that. Lost my sense of smell for a fortnight with Covid this time last year and it was what really scared me. It came back but but I do often wonder if it’s quite as good as it was.
