saintnextlifetime Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I have tried a couple of different Innes & Gunn lagers, they are all pretty good . I did like the one that was over 6% too , very smooth , a bit like Perroni Gran Reserva. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Menabrea another Italian lager is really good. Becoming more popular on draught as tennants are now making it.Caeser Augustus, from Williams Brothers, a lager / IPA Hybrid is great. Also gluten free I think.

Sounds good Tony , the only gluten free one l have tried is the Perroni Nasto Azzuro which taisted better than the common /garden variety. .

That wouldn't be difficult. Currently working my way through "craft" Pils and Helles beers. (Incidentally a lot of beers which are marketed as craft aren't really, as the breweries are subsidiaries of bigger breweries. However, I wouldn't let that put you off as they taste good. ) Most of them are based on German recipe of hops, yeast and barley, which makes a clean refreshing brew. Drink very well chilled and they make for the perfect summer brew. Tempest Easy Livin' Pils and West brewer Schonborn Pils both from Aldi are very good. https://www.tempestbrewco.com/easy-livin-pils Both the Camden brewery Hells and Pils are very good. Both in Waitrose. http://www.camdentownbrewery.com/beer/hells-lager/ http://www.camdentownbrewery.com/beer/pils-lager/ Meantime London lager is another decent brew. In Waitrose. https://www.meantimebrewing.com/beers/core-beers/london-lager Haven't ever been the biggest fan of Brewdog, but their IPA and Kingpin Pilsner are impressive. Unfortunately the latter seems to have disappeared into the ether. If anyone can locate some, then let me know! https://www.brewdog.com/beer/headliners/indie-pale-ale https://www.brewdog.com/item/1430/BrewDog/Kingpin-Cans.html I'm not into these over hopped flowery concoctions that seem to be the hipsters favourites these days, so none of the beers mentioned fall into that category. Also, as an aside, both Meantime and Brewdog do excellent stouts, if anyone is interested. https://www.brewdog.com/beer/headliners/jet-black-heart https://www.meantimebrewing.com/beers/core-beers/london-stout If I encounter any new ones I'll keep you updated.

pozbaird Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I’m enjoying Curious Brew lager and IPA. From an English winemaker who uses champagne yeast to make beer. Tastes great IMHO. Very crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I was drinking it the other day - I even mentioned it on here. Must have been what gave you the idea. I like the Heather Ale (can't remember who makes it) that Aldi sometimes sells. Not seen it for a while though and it disappears rapidly off the shelf's, so I'm obviously not the only one who likes it.Heather ale is Fraoch by the aforementioned Williams brewery. Available in Tesco and Waitrose IIRC. It is a nice beer. On a similar note the honey beers available are very good. Just like a lager with a hint of honey on the palate. Waggledance, Honey dew and one from Sainsburys whose name I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Are you any good? At football that is, I have no interest in your prowess at dominoes or shuffleboard.I like to think so, like a Paisley version of Baresi, however at 6"1' I'm too short for our new signing policy and sadly the deal is off.

FTOF Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just had a bottle of the "Curious brew". Very nice indeed. Good call Poz. Currently trying out peroni gran riserva rossa (5.2%). This is a "grown up" beer (which begs the question as to why I'm drinking it) and has to be savoured. Quite a complex malty depth to it. It tastes "strong". A few of these and it would be good night Vienna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26-59-87-13 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Innes & Gunn have opened a microbrewery & ‘Beer Kitchen’ in Ashton Lane where Ketchup used to be. Very decent menu - just about everything is cooked with one of their beers somehow ????. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very seasonal as the heather is gathered at a particular time of year (late summer i think) and production is not continuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to Majestic Wine, in Bearsden, down from the Waitrose near Sevco TrainIng Park - they sell Curious Brew in cases. I’ve got a case of each in the garage fridge.... lovely jubbly.
