I've bought the Bishops Finger before, but not tried this Tipple yet..... 3 of these ales will be my first try out. I've had the Banana Bread Beer before and love the taste of it.

Bishops Finger is a bit of a controversial name for anything these days...

I've always swithered between BrewDog being cool and then being c*nts.
I am no longer in any doubt. Thankfully I only have one can of Punk IPA left and will be able to get rid of that tonight.

When I heard that the local Fourpure were taken over by Lion I feared the same kind of shenanigans but I was pleasantly surprised when I popped in on Thursday evening. Having mightily enjoyed their Nightfall Stout, I thought I'd have go with some of their other dark beers. The second pint, a Peanut Butter and Jelly Stout, turned out to be what they called a ''staff beer,'' brewed in very small quantities and probably only available at the taproom. Suspecting that ''Staff beer'' was a way of getting round some kind of corporate brewing protocol, I asked whether that was the case when the guy who'd told me that was how it was brewed passed on glass collecting duties. He said, no, Lion had left them alone and the injection of cash had allowed them to experiment more.
It confirmed that Fourpure brew some very fine stouts; it sounds like it might be cloying but it wasn't sweet, having just a fruity aftertang that reminded me of lime marmalade.
I had a Sugar Skull before that. It's a Mexican chocolate porter, chock full of chocolate with a chilli zing to it. Another really fine beer. As they have had Sugar Skull t-shirts made, I think it might be a longer lived beer, so you outre-Londonians might get a sample some time in the future. Sneak preview....

I had one of those Eyeclops pales last week and very nice too! One of the Northern Monk Patrons series of collaborations, I believe.Strewth mate!I'm currently on a Northern Monk Mango Lassi Heathen...nicely fruity and hoppy. The mango is well balanced by the 7.2% ABV (also recommend their DDH Eyeclops pale which went down nicely with Season 3 of Nikita).

It’s owned by Heineken. As well as buying up craft brewers, the macro brewers are also buying up online retailers. Abinbev bought one of the uk online craft beer sellers last year - forget which one.

Guinness-lambic mashup. Sounds gross.

Might try Beerritz some time. If I decide to move to Skye, then my nearest bottleshop is quite some way away, so I'll definitely need an online dealer
. Found a good place in Thistle Street, Edinburgh t'other week- The Bon Vivant's Companion IIRC. Got a bottle of Burning Sky/ 6 Degrees North Sea Buckthorn Saison...pukka stuff, nice blend of tart fruitiness, pepperiness and funk (boom boom shake the room). Some good new ones from Pilot just up the road in Leith as well.

I can safely say that this is my first craft beer - it's a Doppeleu IPA - and while it won Swiss Beer Awards, I can get far better over the road in Deptford.

A trip to Howling Hops last night. I felt a bit ‘tired’ this morning!
