New Box from Honest Brew

New box on its way from @honestbrew can't wait for my selection to arrive #beer #club #excited

So I decided to give Honest Brew a go after getting there trial box last week as the beers so far have all been great, I like the idea of them picking the beers based on my taste preference rather than just a batch that goes out to everyone like some of the clubs i have tried. Got an email today with a list of the beers that are winging there way to me at the moment and I must say, I am looking…

Wild Goose Chase by Wild Beer

Wild Goose Chase @wildbeerco @HonestBrew tart IPA that'll have you coming back for more #beer

Wild Goose Chase by Wild Beer is a great IPA, has a hint of sourness or tartness to it that i love and is quite dry, leaves a nice aftertaste, which is always welcome. This one came courtesy of Honest Brew in their trial box, can’t wait for the full box to turn up soon. Wild Goose Chase by Wild Beer

Running Beer by Howling Hops

Running Beer by @howlinghops from @honestbrew is a great Brown Ale, like an old friend #beer

Running Beer by Howling Hops brewery, in the east end of London, is the first brown ale I have had for quite a while and has made wonder why I don’t drink more of it. Has a nice, almost sour, taste to it that leaves a nice aftertaste. Great warning on the label making sure you are aware that it “contains Beer”. This is my second beer from Honest Brew and going on the first couple of beer this is…

Railway Porter by The Five Points Brewing Co

Railway Porter by The Five Points Brewing Co @FivePointsBrew from @HonestBrew #porter #beer

Railway Porter by The Five Points Brewing Co So this was my first beer from the Honest Brew beer box and comes from The Five Point Brewing Co. This one is a nice chocolaty dark porter, lovely and smooth with a hint of coffee about it for me, it goes down very nicely, perfect for a cosy night in.

First box from Honest Brew

First trial box from @honestbrew (honestbrew.co.uk) Looking forward to trying them all #beer

First box from Honest Brew This is my first box from Honest Brew and it looks like a good selection that I am looking forward to trying. The box arrived really quickly and was well packaged, one on the cans (Beavertown) was a bit dented but this looks like it happened before packing as there was no damage to the box but, seeing as i will be drinking it then recycling the can, this won’t make any…

Beer Clubs

Beer Clubs, been using @beer52hq and about to trial @HonestBrew any other recommendations?

OK, so for a while now i have been using Beer 52 for a selection of beers using their monthly beer club, i have just signed up for a trial with Honest Brew, the question is, has anyone else been using any of these services and if so, how have you got on with them and which ones would you recommend? I find the idea behind them great as it takes the selection process a bit out of your hand and you…

Dark Energy by Hardknott

Dark Energy by @Hardknott provided by @beer52hq Dark, full of flavour and worth a drink. #Beer

Dark Energy by Hardknott Great drink, dark and full of flavour, in my opinion not one to have too many of but great to change it up a bit. Dark Energy by Hardknott

Semi Conductor by Wired Brewing Company

Semi Conductor by @8wiredbrewing received from @beer52uk Nice daily drink.

Semi Conductor by Wired Brewing Company Beer 52 again, this one was quite nice, going on the colour was expecting it to be a bit more fruity than it was, to be honest, not my favourite but still drinkable. Semi Conductor by Wired Brewing Company

Elemental Dark Ale by Tempest Brewing Co.

@beer52hq Elemental Dark Ale by @TempestBrewCo one of my favourites of all time.

Elemental Dark Ale by Tempest Brewing Co. Oh my god, where has this beer been all my life. Another one from the Beer52 case and this porter is simply stunning, real chocolate flavours, real mellow and could drink it all day. This is most definitely on my christmas list, my birthday list and pretty much any other list i can think of. Do yourself a favour and order a case! I am about to. Elemental…

Candy Kaiser by Brewdog

Candy Kaiser by Brewdog @brewdog #Beer

Candy Kaiser by Brewdog Now this one from Brewdog is a bit go a surprise, from the look of it when pure it looks a bit like a porter or even a stout, but it’s a lot sweeter than that. The bumf on the label talks about toffee and for once I agree. This is going on my permanent list! Candy Kaiser by Brewdog

Clipper by Renaissance Brewing Company

Clipper by Renaissance Brewing Company @RenaissanceBeer @Beer52HQ #Beer

Clipper by Renaissance Brewing Company This IPA heralds from New Zealand and the region that my wife know so well from her sauvignon blancs and that is Marlborough, Its a lower alcohol IPA and tastes great. It’s a lot lighter than the usual IPA and this seems to bring out the flavour of the hops a lot more. Really like this one and would recommend it for casual drinking. Clipper by Renaissance…

Flor De La Vida by Edge Brewing

Flor De La Vida by Edge Brewing @Beer52HQ @EdgeBrewing #Beer

Flor De La Vida by Edge Brewing This pale ale is another from @Beer52HQ and comes from a Spanish brewery called Edge Brewing (@EdgeBrewing edgebrewing.com) that was started by a couple of Americans, it’s been brewed like an American craft beer and you can really taste the difference. It’s nice and fruity, not my favourite taste though as I prefer the european ales but it is very drinkable. It’s…

Hardcore IPA by Brewdog

Hardcore IPA by Brewdog

Hardcore IPA by Brewdog Hardcore IPA by @brewdog !!! Blimey !!! This one smacks you round the face on the first mouthful, bags of flavour and hops, quite bitter, which i like. It’s strong at 9.2% but until you have had a few it doesn’t taste like it, not syrupy like some of the higher strength brews out there, this one is simply gorgeous.
