I am kind of regretting not buying it now, but £20 is really expensive for a beer, I managed to get half a dozen other beers for £12

Just read up on it, looks pretty good. Might pick one up online, if I do and it's any good I'll let you know you're a nobber, a tight nobber.

I might get a bulk buy from brewdog online, they've got some great own brand beers at the mo, some more expensive than Orkney Reserve, they've also got loads of guest stuff, Clown Shoes, Mikkeller, Evil Twin, etc. The brewdog dark stuff is freakin' awesome!

Today's - one of my favourites, picked up at the Nantwich food and drink festival a few weeks ago.
Lymestone Brewery's "Foundation Stone". Malt in the first taste (the label says "biscuity" - I'll take their word for it) with spicy, bitter hops coming through and into the aftertaste. A superior ale, I reckon, with an excellent balance of malt and hops. One of those you wish you'd picked up a few more bottles of.

I am reluctant to part with lots of cash on the off-chance that it's not a load of marketing crap; but I've just had a couple of Dark Islands and wonder just how much better the Reserve beer is - the £2 Dark Island is bloody good so to be 10 times more expensive then it's gonna have to blow me away!

Their Skull Splitter is mighty fine too, good brewery, worth a punt.

Well jel. I'm going over to see the parents tomorrow so I'm hoping my dad has a bottle or two of this in, but otherwise I've completely missed the green hop beers this year through being out of the country at the crucial time. My dad reckoned the Gadds was as good as ever but once again the Canterbury Seriously Saison stole the show.

So tired and stumble on this
But I've not seen em mentioned
Anarchy of Morpeth do some interesting beers I'm a bit of an IPA type so warhead was worth trying
It's what special brew is to kaliber in a nice hoppy way
As a normal drink I'm happy with marstons old empire IPA

Had a go on Bath Ales Gem last night, pleasant enough but on balance I much prefer their Golden Hare.

Visited a new pub yesterday. the newly opened The Horseshoe at the top of the High Street in Chipping Sodbury.
Enjoyed a lovely pint of Stunner ( Codrington brewery - I think ). Plenty of real ale & traditional cider on offer.
The pub is opposite the Moda Hotel & has been renovated from what used to be a cafe & before that a stationeers !
However it has the feel of a pub thats been there for years !
I shall definitely visit again .........

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Look at it this way. £20 for a 750ml bottle is about £2.60 per unit. Which is the same sort of price per unit you'll pay in a pub for a pint of lager shandy. Which is better value?
