Beer?

I think this might be the best label ever. Lovely mosaic hop flavour to this one, but a bit too clean overall. It's a collab between 't Ij in Amsterdam and Thornbridge. The first batch was made in Amsterdam and I'm sure it was a bit cloudier and had more wheaty flavour. This is the one made at Thornbridge.

New hops in da house from the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border. Direct from the farm, they were picked in September. Can't wait to see get brewing with these!

7.2! Satan's badgers!

This is lovely stuff, if you like a lot of bitter hop and some complexity in the rest of the flavour. If Punk IPA seems a bit run of the mill nowadays, Jackhammer takes the megahopped Brewdog signature and amps it up, adding lovely tropical/citrus fruity flavour with a little bit of floral taste in there too.

Very good indeed.

If you're in need of a hop hit, Jack Hammer really is the business.

Malt, caramel, dry and no discernable hops. Very clean tasting and 5.5% which is higher than you would guess.

On it like a car bonnet.....Asda delivery ahoy!

Kicking off with Shipyard American IPA. No hop bomb (which is a good thing for me) and pretty decent Friday night drinking

Five Points Railway Porter, couple of months out of date but none the worse for it, in fact settled nicely into its dotage. Good porter this one, nearly Kernel standard, complemented with a couple of squares of chocolate with toffee and Himalayan salt. As they say in the Netherlands - totes yumtus.

I should qualify that it's red Himalayan salt.

Well you should have said. We have that on our chips up here

When I said I couldn't wait...

This is hop "GP75" an experimental line only released this year. They smell great: dank and marmeladey and a bit spicey. I'm knocking up a pale ale with a bit of Warrior for some clean bitterness and then late additions with the GP75. I'll use the rest for dry hopping.

Red Himalayan salt is scraped off the foreheads of Nepalese porters. Ordinary Himalayan salt is just strained out of their underpants.

Hey Crax, I could do with cheering up tonight.
Go and pour a glass of beer and take a photo, there's a good chap.
