Beer?

Should I? / Shouldn't I?

Buy a bottle of this?

If you're even asking you're a big soft Jessie.

Saw this big old boy in a middle-class dept store, begins with J and ends with ohn Lewis. Didn't buy it as it was £35 for a 3 ltr bottle. The smaller bottles looked interesting too but they were a bit pricey an all.

Not seen that particular one, TBM, but I've tried a few from the same brewer - they're based not far from me, in Leek.

Staffs Brewery - Rudyard Ruby
Staffs Brewery - Staffordshire Gold
Staffs Brewery - Double Sunset

Anyone got an opinion on the merits or otherwise of the following mixed case? Decent enough or are there better ones available either style-wise or from the breweries? I've not been paying attention to this thread for a wee while and not been very beery of late but need to pick my game up again...

I've had 8 of those, all excellent, the others I've had other stuff by the brewery and it was good too, go it.

Can't really go wrong with that lot - they range from merely excellent to world class.

Mrs 3BM really is happy now, gah!

Weird Beard BIPA, lovely stuff...

A gift from Mr Teef this one, bloody nice bloke.

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Landlord, pre craft hipster bollocks it was one of the first beers I tried that was a bit different to the usual stuff, it's got quite a nice bitter hoppy taste and a decent finish.

Hang on.......did you say "cider"?

Enjoyed most of the match with Shepherd Neame Double Stout last night and then sought oblivion via a very large Armagnac once the final whistle blew.
