Fresh, Weird & Incomprehensible Memes

Magic Rock & SALT have worked together to produce Ripe Times, a 6.5% DDH IPA. It’s a good beer but more importantly (to some people) it makes smart business sense too. Fans of Magic Rock have an easy introduction to SALT and vice versa and hopefully this leads to the growth of both breweries.  The issue with collaboration beers is that they never seem to be ‘ground breaking’ and always seem to lack a killer edge that often craft breweries tend to provide and thrive from. This is likely because making some sort of 17.6% triple barrel aged chilli-stout may not make a brilliant first impression… not the masses anyway.  Overall, two brilliant up and coming breweries have produced a ‘good’ but not ‘amazing’ beer - am I being too harsh? Check out the review!

My latest video is on ‘Pride & Joy’ a great IPA from Vocation brewery. Not only does the beer taste good but for every can sold with the Pride branding the brewery made a donation to LGBT charities! 

There can’t be much better than drinking beer for a good cause? Check it out! 

My latest video is on Stormtrooper by St Peter’s Brewery. The can art features the original design of the Stormtrooper armour from the very first Star Wars film. This is because its brewed in collaboration with Shepperton Design Studios who hold the trademark of the design - not Disney.  Is this beer actually being brewed as a viable Pale Ale or is it just a ploy to cash in on the recent Star Wars hype?

There’s loads of ‘session IPAs’ out there but how can you determine what makes a good one. I think Hard Graft is a good example of one. It’s got a strong, tasty and bold flavour so it’s something you’d happily drink more than one of. Despite being bold, it doesn’t have a sharp edge, bitterness or off-putting aromas. 

Basically, it tastes good and isn’t too strong, so it’s something you can drink lots of! Have you tried this beer, if so what do you think to it? 

This IPA is a real statement of intent. At 9.0% it’s a strong drink and packed full of flavour too. The can features great artwork (as usual) and the folks at Abbeydale brewery have once again delivered a great drink! 

The only downside I’d say is that due to it’s strength it certainly isn’t a session beer. What are your thoughts on it? And if you have any suggestions on what to review next please let me know! 

I think it’s watery and lacking in taste but worst of all it isn’t even Australian like it claims to be. Does anyone actually enjoy this beer? 

I don’t want to sound like a snob but it seems the only reason people would drink it is to get drunk on the cheap, which is fine for house parties etc, but it isn’t something anyone would choose to drink, surely? 

I’m a big fan of BrewDog Beers but I especially like Dead Pony Club. It’s citrusy, great tasting and easy to drink. I’m glad that despite the new ‘Punk Manifesto’ that it’s staying around as one of the brewery’s headliners. 

What do you think to this beer? Watching my review below, subscribe to the channel and let me know which beer I should review next! 

Whilst I think BrewDog make excellent beers, and whilst I also think Punk IPA still is an excellent beer, I (and many others) feel like it isn’t as good as it was. In this review I give the beer praise but also talk about why the beer has changed (slightly) for the worst. 

This is an excellent beer from the Scottish brewery, BrewDog. You can really taste the citrus and sour flavours in the beer, it almost tastes like cider or alcoholic fruit juice!

Having said that, it isn’t overpowering and it tastes incredible. Best of all, it’s cheap! Have you tried this beer? If so let me know what you thought to it. 

What drink should I review next? 

In this, the inaugural review on the channel, we look at a beer that is made in part from leftover bread- a statement against industrial food wastage. 

Breadboard, brewed by Tiny Rebel, is a decent pale ale, from an outstanding brewery with an amazing message… additionally money from each bottle goes to the charity Surfers Against Sewage! 

Have you tried this beer, if so what do you think to it? 

As part of my dissertation I’m studying the concept of ‘Authenticity’ if you could help by answering this short (10 question) survey that would be a big help!
