Beer?

[User169]

A strange name for a very nice ale, still not as good as my favourite 9% double IPA though, Mr President.

It's the part of the hop where you get the bitterness from.

Hook Norton Mild. A very tasty 2.8 mild, nutty, roasty and malty with Goldings providing a hint of bitterness. You could have a few of these for breakfast and still have the assemblance of normality, if you were normal in the first place.

Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Engineers Reserve, a 9% beauty, is back! See posts passim, this is fabulous stuff.

Got an email from them, if you put CANS16 in the voucher code bit you get free shipping. I've used it, it works.

Hooky Red Rye. Yumtus y'all...

Saltaire is the brewery. Citra pale the beer.

Magnificent! A perennial favourite. Lemony, fragrant, bitter. 4.2℅.

I might have another

Hook Norton Fanciers!

As a select range of their beverages seem to have made their way into the local M&S, what's best to start with? Any to avoid?

Old Hooky - classic bitter, beautiful stuff
Hooky - session beer, a model bitter at this %
Haymaker - lovely pale ale
Gold - yank hops, great beer for a warm day
Twelve Days - strong ale, very nice
Flagship - a fine IPA, bottle conditioned too
Lion - didn't like it, might be ok now, it's their best seller apparently

That's the standard stuff, there's some others, ask for details.

Edit: Double Stout, good and stouty.

3bm is the expert, but the Red Rye is pretty good.

Yeah it's fab, I wasn't sure if they were exporting anything other than the core range though.

I've not seen it on the rack, but it might turn up. I've definitely seen Old Hooky, Flagship and Gold - the first two sound right up my street, so I'll definitely grab a few next time I'm in.

They're good beers, you've got the world famous 3BM guarantee of satisfaction.
