Yep! Looks like it's going to be warm - so I'll need plenty of hydration this evening!
wknd selection.
The one on the left is a local brewery, Peerless. Don't think I've tried any of their stuff before, which is remiss of me. Certainly no photographic evidence. Centre one is a Shakespeare Oatmeal stout, which had been hung with a little sticker saying it was a winner of something and the third aother medal winner but I can't read the brewery now. Get back to you on that one.

Good, innit. Mosaic is certainly an interesting hop and that's a pretty good showcase for it. The Cascade (made by Castle Rock) is still my favourite though.

As well as the Cascade and Mosaic, I quite like the Sovereign. The Citra is a bit meh though. But that's a fault of the hop rather than the beer - bit one dimensional (certainly not something that could be said of Mosaic).

I'd agree with all that. I was pleasantly suprised by the sovereign - not a hop I'd come across before as a single hop.
I seem to remember that Kernel made a really good pale ale with mosaic.

Picked up an M&S Mosaic, a Sovereign, a Grenwich BIPA and a Norfolk Nip barley wine. And some other stuff from the wino merchant, Orval, Kwak and shoot like that.

I have decided I am drinking Orkney Dark Island all the time - I didnae go back to the shop selling the £20 version but went to the local co-op for a few of the normal versions. Lovely stuff.

Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout, is this the finest oatmeal stout in the whole world?
Mrs McG likes this one too so I'm sharing...

It's still my favourite Oatmeal Stout, although it has stiff competition from the McAuslan's St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout from next door here in Quebec.
What is definitely not my favourite anything is the Nickelbrook Coffee Pale Ale I tried yesterday. Basically like a pale ale poured into a glass that had previously had coffee in it which had not been washed properly. Yuck. First fail from these guys that I've tried.

There comes a time when proper beer making needs to take precedence over marketing and pricing. I'm all for innovation and shít like that but there is a limit; and it is a limit crossed more regularly than needed. Shít beer has always been in existence; shít beer with wánky names, hipster arsedness and high pricetags can go and bugger off...
