First beer outing since before lockdown. Left Handed Giant in Bristol. A good sour to kick things off

The one in the middle* is sublime! The others are pretty good too but no match.
*12.5% "King of the Woodlands" pistachio and honeycomb imperial milk stout.

I've never been all that impressed with canned Brewdog beers. Their keg Hazy Jane is rather good though.
I've only had that in cans and it wasn't quite a match for Jackhammer.
On their website there's two versions of it, a 5% and one that's around 6.8, I've only had the stronger one.
A closer inspection in Tesco has revealed that they're not the same, Hazy Jane is 5%, whilst OG Hazy in a virtually identical looking can is 7.2%

PJ is one of my all-time favourites. I routinely ignore the shelves full of Tribute, and go straight for the vastly superior Proper Job. Lidl's have started stocking it now. I've also sunk plenty of Skinner's beer during the time I've spent down in Cornwall, especially in a pub a stone's throw from the brewery.
Talking of Lidl, dark beer lovers, might be interested to know they've got the truly excellent Shep's Double Stout on again. I've got 8 extra bottles in my kitchen and no room left in the fridge! The only way they could improve on the Double Stout would be to bottle condition it.

Tasting beer and reporting back on the results for the enlightenment of other forum members is such a public spirited act to undertake!

I had that one last week. Not bad.View attachment 541111
Another from lidl. Boosting Scotland's craft beer market. Have to take on board the ferry, as the shop only sells Tuborg.
Talking of Danish breweries, I just learned that the excellent Broaden and Build are shutting. I don't know what the Danes did in terms of furloughing or other kinds of support but it clearly wasn't enough for them.

My, this sour is SOUR!
I'm a martyr, I really am. 😊Tasting beer and reporting back on the results for the enlightenment of other forum members is such a public spirited act to undertake!
I'm almost through the one on the left, it like a slightly less bitter Sierra Nevada, very nice.
