Maybe it's because I had a beer- free New Year's Eve that this Left Handed Giant sour IPA tastes so good. Good fruit tang from peach and passion fruit, a light undertone of vanilla plus mystery ingredient el Dorado.
I've grown rather fond of LHG.

I'm having a snappily titled Even Allen Needs Cheeseburgers, a hop monster born of a LHG-Verdant collaboration. It's almost hoppily stroppy!

If we ever get to drink in taprooms again I'm straight off to Northern Monk. I missed them out the last time I was in Leeds, mostly because North's taproom was in sight from the hotel exit, and there were a lot of other taps and microbreweries within a couple of hundred yards. Till then, I'll have to make do with my little monthly Patron's delivery.Northern Monk are one of my go to breweries-I'm so glad I signed up for a Patron's Box

Old Scrotum, the wrinkled retainer, is temporarily indisposed as a result of over-indulgence in antifreeze-laced scrumpy, or, as he claims, a rogue whelk, so I've had to venture into the further reaches of the extensive caves beneath le chateau du braconnier which are normally his sole preserve, in search of some acceptable red. While there, among the dusty ancient caches of Petrus and cetera, I discovered a neglected bottle of 1997 vintage port.
Should I open and drink it, or send it to auction?
Actually, on further inspection, I realise it was probably purchased from Lidl within the last 5 years or so; the back label shows it was bottled in 2015, after 18 years in barrel. The sort of thing which deserves to be savoured while initially sober. Might be later this year, then.

Meant to ask was this nice ?....still getting over the shock of the price.

Yes, it's great. I know it sounds like a lot for a beer, but's it made using an incredibly long process (some of the beer used in it is aged for two years) and they use a lot of fruit which is expensive.
