I'm not one for keeping any in a bottle overnight

BREWDOG CLOCKWORK TANGERINE

This fully automated IPA is infused with tangerine. At 4.5% it’s a stand-out session beer that packs a perfectly timed delivery of juicy citrus and mellow tropical fruit resting on a light toasty and caramel base.

4.5% ABV, four for £6 ASDA

ABV 4.2%; £1.39 from ALDI

Moira got some of these for Halloween yesterday. A very good ale at a great price; I always wonder with these 'specials' whether it's simply one of their regular better beers with a fancy label stuck on (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Thanks, Jim... shame to waste the photo I'd taken with Moira's Halloween decorations, so here it is anyway

4.2% ABV; part of the 'Two for £4' promotion at the Co-op

This was lovely: almost clear as it poured but a pale lemon yellow in the glass. It settles over the tongue both sweet and bitter but with a definite citrus note. The label says it is brewed using sea buckthorn berries

Cleethorpes is a famous coastal holiday resort here in Lincolnshire and this ale is part of a promotion of local craft beers

A nice soft chestnut ale, named after an ancient bronze shield discovered here in our local River Witham

Imagine a tankard full of liquid caramel with an alcoholic whiff and a head on it like Devon cream. Moira just described this as "The busty wench of beers" (and she should know)

Great beer brewer!

I wish there was a good consistent way to get beer from across the pond. Love the Irish stouts, and almost anything that I've had out of Belgium and Germany.


You guys brew better brews than we do.

Hoegaarden (pronounced "who-gar-den") is a decent wheat beer from Belgium. And since it's an InBev beer it's widely available at most grocery stores (at least in Virginia).

I asked Moira to see if she could get me something strong today and she came up with this lovely stuff: it says "Dry hopped beer flavoured with rum infused oak chips"

A dark golden colour, malty and hoppy, it's dry but not at all bitter and you can really taste the rum

[Eichhörnchen]

5.0% ABV; £2.20 from The Co-op

Not my usual kind of beer, this has a deep, toasted yet quite sweet flavour and a beautiful dark red colour

It's brewed by our local brewery Batemans of Wainfleet, whose logo is the mill in which their ales are made. "Our beers are brewed by brewers, not accountants" is their slogan

ABV 5%; four for £6.00 at Tesco

This is a lovely crisp, light and very bitter ale... more of a Summer drink, perhaps

"We take pride in putting a smile on our customers' faces" (I have replaced the apostrophe correctly for them)

[Jimbuna]

^ Was looking at that in Tesco just yesterday but didn't pull the trigger because the beer/lager is still on offer at £10 per case.

ABV 5%; four for £6.00 at Tesco

Crisp and bitter like the "Quint Essential" above, but at the front end there's a delicious honey sweetness not present in the other one

This was my favourite of the two
