    Lovely stuff.

    Tonight I'm trying a Bah Humbug by Wychwood :D

    Just tried this myself tonight. The spicy tones are very subtle and mild. Quite a nice beer. Bought it in Aldi (here in England) for £1.49

    Just had my first sip of Founders Centennial IPA. Ever see the Strongbow ad with the exaggerated sigh of contentment? That's how I just reacted. Lovely beer!

    It's one of my favourite IPAs. Delicious, so it is.

    Sipping away on a couple of large bottles of La Goudale watching the Thanksgiving NFL. First time to try it, a new off-licence up the road is doing 2 large bottles for a tenner. 7.2% and very refreshing. A French brew as far as I know.

    I have a large bottle of Chasing Freshies (a special release IPA by Deschutes) for after the turkey. Must take it out of the fridge soon.

    I love the brewery over all. That and the all day are excellent. The porter is amazing too.

    Just having a foam and fury now, would echo most of the comments here, it really is good, lovely and bitter and no oppressive booze flavour. I've been critical of the Galway bay guys in the past (I still think some of their pricing is on the high side) but that's two excellent beers in their range now and a rake of excellent pubs. Intrigued to see what's next off the conveyor.

    They have a new pilot , the barman said it was a wheat beer using chanook hops( I think), he said it wasn't great ! A bit too yeasty.

    That stuff is gorgeous. :) I've never seen it on draught though. It seems to have been a limited edition (I could be wrong) as the supplies in my local offie have dried up.

    Definitely, I think I only got a couple of bottles of it myself. Would love it if they picked it up for their regular range.

    I had a pint of Amber Ella in the Bull and Castle on Wednesday night. It was out of this world gorgeous. Want more... right now in fact!!

    I definitely enjoyed it more than of Foam and Fury.

    What do people think of the Franciscan Wells IPA? I've had it twice now and enjoyed it both times.

    Love Staropramen.

    Had two pints of draught version in a London pub last year and it was heaven!

    Enjoying a glass of Of Foam And Fury in The Dark Horse atm, perfect after a hard week, 330ml doesn't seem enough but at the % probably for the best ðŸ˜႒

    I was disappointed to be honest, I would take many other IPA's over this. There was a bit of hops at first but I didn't get anything else coming through.
