Craft Beers
Craft Beers
Appreciate that on a niche website, that this may be even more niche and there are a few members who are under age - but is anyone else into their craft beers?
It seems to be all the rage at the moment, amongst the trendys, but I have had a geeky soft spot for them and real ale for a while now.
Favourites at the minute include a good old fashioned IPA and some of the American craft beers , like Blue Moon
Any Brewdog fans out there? How about BBQ lovers?

. Not really a craft beer but I am much happier now that my local serves Pilsner Urquell, a beer that I thought was only available in the Czech Republic.

(26 Oct 2015, 9:57 pm)BusLoverMum I'm rather fond of a good beer and IPA is one of my favourites - I like the sourness.
Actually drinking a bottle of one I picked up in M&S on their dine in for a tenner offer - so not strictly small scale, but not mainstream, either. Adnams Suffolk single variety hop pale ale. Tastes like pineapple!
(26 Oct 2015, 10:05 pm)Adrian The Town Wall in Newcastle was doing this during the Summer. Seemed to be quite popular.

(27 Oct 2015, 8:44 am)Andreos1 You have been missing out - or going to the wrong places.
That has been about locally for years. Not that popular it seems, cos never found a good pint of it yet!
I have noticed Sainsburys seem to be going down the route of using (and stating which) breweries on their own brand stuff too.
Not sure I have had any Adnams yet. Used to keep a log, but I have lost track.
The same memory that remembers PTE routes, vehicles and allocations from 30 years ago, strangely struggles to recollect which weird and wonderful beers I consumed the night before!
Went in there for the first time in ages on Friday afternoon. No BBQ's unfortunately!

I have just got a little bit excited after reading this article.

If you haven't tried beers from Wylam Brewery (and you are above the age of 18), give one of them a go.
They do some lovely stuff.
Hopefully the taste, doesn't change too much after the move.

Making my first dabbles into the world of home brewing soon.
Got my hands on a decent looking set-up, that only requires yeast and hops.
Hopefully I will be able to come up with some decent brews over the next few months.
If anyone else on the forum has dabbled, feel free to share some tips!

(27 Jan 2016, 4:29 pm)Andreos1 Haha, I will bear that in mind!Crunch, definitely.
Mind, it can only add flavour. Surely?

(27 Jan 2016, 4:39 pm)BusLoverMum Crunch, definitely.
And I shall now step away from this thread. I've drunk nothing more potent than Erdinger since NYD and I'm determined not to derail that, before February.

(14 Feb 2016, 6:09 pm)Andreos1 With it being my first go, I wanted to use a kit that had step by step instructions.
I thought it would help me understand the process more and develop the confidence to brew from scratch in the future.
So having identified the hop that I like the most (cascade) and then finding a kit that was easy enough to drink and which contained cascade - I found 'Golden Stag'.
Fingers crossed it works!
The alcohol content is lower than it is supposed to be (3.94% over the supposed 4.5%), but it is a learning curve.
I was warned that brewing can become addictive.
It has!
If you havent given it a go, I would give it a try.

(14 Feb 2016, 6:14 pm)Adrian I'd thought about doing cider once, but as I don't have a garage, it'd be a bit difficult I reckon. I'll have to buy a brewing shed or something!
You'll have a Fencehouses Micro Brewery in no time
