A little something for the weekend sir?


Dropped by the Grumpy Goat bottle shop in Reading on my way home from London yesterday and picked up a couple of new beers to try this weekend making my fridge look quite respectable for once. (my wife remarked what pretty labels breweries put on their beers these days!) 

From left to right we have...

Sunglasses by DEYA (Cheltenham) - Top brewery currently on fire, a light 4% pale ale hopped to high-heaven.

Neck-Oil by Beavertown (London) - A modern classic, one of their core range and a benchmark hoppy pale.

A Wave In The Marlborough Sounds by Cloudwater (Manchester) - A 5.5% Double dry-hopped pale ale made with hops from New Zealand.

Odyssey by Siren (Finchamstead) - My local brewery, an 8.7%  barrel-aged blended sour, layered, fruity, complex and very deep red colour, a complete Frankenstein of a beer (minus the bolts)..

Light-Bulb by Verdant (Falmouth) - Pale 4.5% session IPA, Simcoe and Centennial hops

Fraxinus by Vibrant Forest (Hythe, Hampshire) - 4.5% haze bomb, orange juice for days..
