Spent a contented few hours with some friends in the garden yesterday afternoon/evening celebrating the 8th birthday of our local craft brewery Siren (hence the 8 on one of the cans) The brewery had produced a special case of beers and other goodies to go with an online festival where they had tastings, shows, talks, entertainment and tons of other stuff, it was a really fun event, especially the lip-sync competition! There were three stand out beers for me, actually the three right hand cans in this picture. Bones of a Sailor is an imperial porter and was amazing, rich, deep, chocolaty with a real fruity core to it, the orange can was called Send Me Sunshine which is a collaboration with Slim Pickens brewery in Florida and was essentially a massive mango sour, pushing the definition of beer but delicious. The last one was the Grateful Eight (the can with the 8 on it) which was a classic double IPA with just about everything and the kitchen sink thrown at it, wonderful. Well done Siren and happy birthday!
