I've never seen Siren on tap. I like their beers, not sure about loose leaf though...A couple of pints of Neck Oil on keg. I think I prefer it from a can. Average.

I didn't get to try that one. I'll try to pop in tomorrow and report back.I've never seen Siren on tap. I like their beers, not sure about loose leaf though...
I tried the Yu Lu at the Hawkshead beer festival the other week and loved the blend of tea flavours with hoppinness...YMMV though. Siren always do some interesting beers, and I always give them a go if I see them on tap. Wincle Brewery are another long time favourite of mine, and I cracked open a bottle of Phoenix single hop brown ale, which was malty, fruity and spicy-I'd happily drink it again ( I got it from the Beer District in Buxton).A couple of pints of Neck Oil on keg.

I got the Wild Horse in my Beer52 box a few months ago-nice stuff,hoppy but sessionable....churs!A couple for the fridge for the weekend. They're from a small independent off licence which doesn't try to compete with the supermarkets but sells mostly small brewery Welsh beer.

I drank the Wild Horse tonight and really really liked it. Refreshing, crisp, unfiltered, unpasteurized, not too complex and not over hopped. Actually said to Mrs D that it was one of the best I'd had recently.I got the Wild Horse in my Beer52 box a few months ago-nice stuff,hoppy but sessionable....churs!
Purple Moose were one of my local breweries when I lived in Snowdonia-my fridge was rarely without a few bottles...as you say you won't be disappointed with the Madog's Ale, or the Dark Side Of The Moose.A recent stay in Bala and the existence of this place http://www.storibeers.wales in said town means I have a few bottles to drink. This is the first one:

A lovely session beer at 3.7% it manages to be sweet, bitter and hoppy at the same time. If you can find a bottle of this, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I also have a couple of bottles of The Dark Side of the Moose to drink. Oh, yes!
A rare little beast from a brewery than can scarcely call itself a brewery, light, single hopped and "yumtus" (as you beardy types might say).....
