Herevana - North End - Fortitude A Winter IPA. One that gives up a lovely range of flavours and tastes. Understated bitterness with a lovely middle bit and nice towards dryness at the end. Most enjoyable on a wet Sunday.

North End Fortitude. A Winter IPA. On a Sunday. On a Sunday when my Daughter, after a few weeks at home, left again to got back to Australia and her own home. This doesn’t get easier with time. But there is happiness everywhere and opportunity abounds. I’ve had a bit of a splurge on beers, but it turns out I’ve either brought IPA’s and Stouts. So much for trying a bit of this and bit of…

Herevana - Moon Dog - Rosé Sour Power I like the look, enjoyed the pour, continue to enjoy the aroma and the flavour combination delivers constant and even enjoyment. Enjoyment it is then. Oh and music from October Drift.

Here we have: Moon Dog Rosé Sour Power, the #BeerJerk NZ beer of the week. Although I frequently try them I am not a huge fan of Sour beers. But I neither anticipate or over think what I’m about to drink, I know the mouthfeel style I like, sometimes I get that, sometimes not. Anyway, a beer with Watermelon, Strawberry & Cherry, what could go wrong? Moon Dog Craft Brewery make the Moon Dog Rosé…

Herevana - Small Gods - Agnostos Theos So unusual they don't have a standard style for it. Champagne looks. Hoppy beer taste. Fruity and yet calm and easy and thoroughly enjoyable. Like my music choice :-)

Here we have a beer from Small Gods x Known Unknown – Agnostos Theos. A ‘Grape Ale’. I know the brewers and have a lot of respect for the driver behind their increased input and devotion to the off beat and lesser taken track for beers. There’s a couple of things they are good at, one is the unusual or lesser brewed style, the other is the wax dipped bottles and cans, who can’t go past…

Herevana - Craftwork - Siege of Liège Music with Jack White. The beer grew and improved and was lovely, Jack White not so much

Craftwork – Siege of Liège. I joined a small club that Craftwork launched, the CW Societe, which limited to 96 membership offered at least 20 beers in two deliveries (I think it was 21). I shared some of the less common, smaller batch ones, and kept some aside just for me. I don’t think there is any secret that a Saison style beer is something I would edge towards. Craftwork make the Siege of…

Herevana - Fuller's - Imperial IPA A malty toffee sweet quaffer of a beer And Phil Collins

Here we have a carton containing a bottle of Fuller’s Imperial IPA. English Bitter. I make it sound rare when there is al local that pours pints, not of this, but of London Pride and others. I might set a record for the use of the work surprising here. Fuller’s (Asahi) make the Fuller’s Imperial IPA – once a year as a Special Seasonal and they do that in Chiswick, Greater London, 🇬🇧 England. It…

Herevana - Superb Owl Belgian-Style Wit  A lovely clean easy drinking well mannered delicious beer that I really enjoyed. Superb Ow!

Superb Owl Belgian-Style Wit  – this came as part of a monthly subscription that I had with the brewery. I alway look forward to these, but never enjoy the 2 day wait time whilst the beer is in a courier van in the sun. Just a personal thing, I’m pretty sure beer in cans in a box is fine. I’ve a lot of time for Kereru and their beers. Kereru Brewing Company make the Kereru Superb Owl in  Upper…

Herevana - Craftwork - Terroir Blend 2019 Decadent properly crafted artisan beer from a premium brewer. These blends never fail to deliver.
