Your Beer of the week

[Buzz67]

Myself and a mate (who have both drunk a lot of draught Jaipur) did a blind tasting of Bottled vs canned Jaipur. Neither of us could tell which was which. It’s the cans on offer in Tesco. You have to look for the little boxes of 4. Buy 2 boxes for 9 quid. Any multiple of 2 works. Just had 10 boxes delivered. 40 cans for £45. Bargain.

 

[denisejoe]

Aye, and probably Abbot, or Jaipur even. Your a man after my own heart Joe.

Cheers,

Jock.

Not had a Jaipur yet on the list now

 

[denisejoe]

If you like a decent IPA, you'll like Jaipur....................but you may not manage many of them. I know I don't.

I find a lot of the lighter hoppy beers can give me a bit of a head in the morning Jock, whereas the darker malty beers don’t, unless I really over do it, which is not that often now days.

Is this craft beer the Jaipur mentioned above: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/302142030

Also found a promo at Tescos

Adnams Ghost Ship is a recent new fave of mine. Be alert for the 0% one tho

Yup, that’s the one. Brewed by Thornbridge at Bakewell.

You miss quoted me, but what you added was clear. Try write your bit after the [/quote] text

Also, that Adnams ale was probably a summer treat. Need something darker for Autumn Winter

I put in an order for Jaipur, Black Sheep Milk Stout and "any other of the beers I like" with The Boss
She came back with the Black Sheep Milk Stout, Theakston's Old Peculiar & Wychwood's Hobgoblin Ruby.

She said "Do I know that Jaipur stuff is in little cans & £6? I got you 4 bigger cans of Ruby for £3.99 instead. OK?"
"yes dear"

NVM, Jaipur will be on her radar now & if it's on offer...
The Black Sheep Milk Stout is new to me so I'll try remember and post some tasting notes

Currently enjoying Wainwright Golden Beer, buying it from a Spanish Supermarket, even though it’s origins started in the Lake District although it’s Marstons that l reckon is Brewed and bottled in Italy.
A great bottled beer and very refreshing a bit of a mix of Blonde and Lager 4.1% 500ml €1.60.

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

Good Evening. I am going to try a Plum Porter from Titanic tonight.
4.9%,and have some other porters to try.
I do like a craft IPA though and quite like jaipur.

She said "Do I know that Jaipur stuff is in little cans & £6? I got you 4 bigger cans of Ruby for £3.99 instead. OK?"
"yes dear"

And that's why I've decided not to get any. If it came in 500ml cans or bottles, I would have got some in earlier while I was out.

One of my favourites, but then I do have a sweet tooth. Enjoy.

I'm the same Steve. If I do have light hoppy beers, it's usually only a couple before I move on to something darker.

Cheers

Jock.

Typical of it's type.
Very clear chocolate & coffee tastes.
Decent drink. I probably wouldn't buy it a head of Old Peculiar but on promotion I'd have it again.

Similar milk stouts but marginally better, imo, would be Millionaire by Wild Beer & from - a local brewer - <Broken link removed>.

Millionaire must be good, I drank that at the West Berks Brewery when they hosted a work's Xmas do

 

[TinaLes]

I haven't tried Jaipur yet, & haven't noticed it in the supermarkets like Sainsburys, Lidl, but haven't been to Tesco in months, might try there next.
True story:
We went on a fun bash in the New Forrest showground a couple of months back, when a large brand new Morello MH, came in to join us. Two ladies got out, first one asked if Jim our founder was present?
We then learned that the driver/Morello owner was Emma Harrison and that she owned a grade 2 listed country mansion, (Thornbury Hall) in the derbyshire dales. She is also the CEO founder of the DWP Back to Work Training Company A4E.

Now with a rapidly expanding brewery also, she attended the New Forrest rally with her PR secretary, looking at various ways of distributing her beer as all her pubs were in lock down.
She passed out a few beers to the vans parked next her....the beer she passed out was Jaipur!
They only stayed the one night, all this info came to us after they had left, and I didnt get in the cue for any handouts.
It was suggested that they may look into having a Fun Rally at Thornbury sometime in the future, maybe even a small CL, how good would that be The chance of having a real Pee up at a brewery, a dream come true for many.
We will have to watch this space.

It's nice to see so much going on, with lots of people trying so much beer, especially with the pubs closed.

I had three from the Loch Lomond brewery in October

Three from the Loch Lomond brewery

Here are three from the Loch Lomond brewery in Scotland, still more beers to follow shortly. Loch Lomond, Lost In Mosaic from Scotland 5....

Thornbridge Brewery would be a great place for an Rally and/or Aire.

The Mosaic and the blonde sound good Ralph. Any good?

 

[JockandRita]

These are some of the bottled beers from Aldi, although they (Harpers Brewing Co), recently appeared to have revised the labels (and names) rather than the brews themselves. I bought four on Tuesday, to partake in whilst on a Zoom meeting with my pals I normally see down the pub (out of lockdown).

A new one to me which I picked up, was a Toffee Ale, which I have to say I was quite impressed with.

Although not full in body like a stout, it was very flavoursome and moreish, and at 4.8% ABV. I'll certainly be grabbing that one again.
BTW, they (Harpers) also do a Coffee Stout, but I've not seen that in Aldi's yet......................and not sure I want to try it.

Cheers,

Jock.

Its Hobgoblin Gold for me at the moment, many on here recommended it, so I have been suppin a few recently. I also tried the Ruby, but found that a bit heavy, and noticed that my chest hair started to mat more vigorously the next day.
Really hoping that Hoegarten is on special at Lidl before xmas, love that stuff, love pouring it, love savouring the moment, but always feel a little angry at not being able to get a bottle deposit back like they do in The EU.
Cheers everyone.

Thornbridge Brewery would be a great place for an Rally and/or Aire.

The craft beer brewers size requirements often - based on the East Bristol brewery walk & one other - located in quite industrial locations.
e.g.

My local craft type brewer Wild Weather Ale is definitely in a small industrial estate near Silchester.
But, bottom line, it's what they make that draws us in

It might look industrial but have a look on google maps and its on the edge of the Peak District or up at Thornbridge Hall would be great.

A lot of German breweries have facilities for Motorhomes would be great to see that over here.

We parked up at Black Sheep over Summer but Masham was mainly closed due Covid (as you would expect)

And there'll be solid car parking for a few vans.
West Berks Brewery would be my shout for a rally/air. They're in an old farmyard area.
Lovely taproom and outside eating. For the latter there can be too much farm
Their buildings are also industrial looking - thinking about it, maybe being an 'industry' it's a requirement - lol.

Just get a PD machine from beerhawk and pour your own. You will never go back to cans

Seen it in Aldi Jock, but didn’t pick any up.

PD machine from beerhawk

dont show me things like that...i'll convince myself to buy one now. 10 pints per keg, keeps for 30 days...i might even kid myself it will last that long!

 

[kevenh]

Did they show you?

 

[russ the rambler]

it does look good...nice choice of european lager and wheat beer. Be good for xmas

 

[kevenh]

10pts? A mini keg, well 10 small pints. They're typically 5L/9Pt
Like <Broken link removed>? And one of those I can recommend - I think I did recently... lol
