    Was it the smoky whisky on that cask that ruined the Innis & Gunn?  I haven't had one in a while but their rum barrel stuff is usually pretty nice. 

    Tasted like they’d chucked a random whiskey where the ice had melted into a crap stout.

    I’ve had whiskey barrel aged stouts before which were great but this felt half arsed

  2. Back in 1665, the local Tailor in Eyam received some cloth from London contaminated with fleas carrying the plague. The village decided to quarantine itself and got by through people leaving goods on rocks outside the main village. The coins were placed in vinegar to kill any bacteria and you can still find the holes today. 
    Today they make imperial stouts.

  3. “The beer” used to be called yellow belly until some random brewery threatened legal action over its name. The original packaging used to have little eye holes cut out of the white paper too

    Isn’t that why Corona always taste like shit and Heineken is always skunky….? Bc of the light transfer through the clear bottles and green bottles. That’s what I have always heard.

    I’ve heard this about the Czechs and their bottled beer. Everything in a bottle is green or brown.  Drinking out of a can is also looked down upon. Probably doesn’t apply for the craft guys anymore. 
    same goes for Germans too. Nothing is in a clear bottle

  5. Covid killed this great pub. It’s built into caves so you can sit and Go to the toilet in a cave basically. They’re Sunday roasts were the best in the city too.

    Apparently it used to be owned by some footballers who used to sit upstairs going all scarface with piles of coke. 
     

    It’s back again however. Sadly, the pint was on the turn and tasted shite. Let’s hope this was a one off.

  6. Beer for the new page. 
    What is everyone’s thoughts on beer artwork, I like to think I’m a never judge a book by its cover type of person but I do fall for some of the fancy can art sometimes. 
    black iris just have the same guy do every design for their beers and I respect that
