Hello!!! It's Saturday night and that means nothing less than a good solid beer'ing! I will be delivering one to myself man style and had better hear no complaints.
After the dark fizzle of last week's Stout/Porter combo I thought I would head back to IPA territory. See if those pale chaps can conjure me up some glorious fling-flang in my knickers.
So what do we have? Two of my favourite breweries going head to head. Goodness me it's enough to make a man choke on his own ejaculate! Were a man to sup from his own tap, as it were.
So what are we waiting for?
Let the good times roll with...
The alligator man, quite the name. This one is from my favourite brewery in the whole wide world. The amazing Tempest brewery from the south of Scotland. Can they live up to their rep??
It's a very pale gold. Like the first rays of sun on an April morning. Cheery little head, just bobbing about on top showing no signs of going anywhere.
At 9.2% it's a strong wee bastard. Over to you, oh illustrious video man!
He approves and so do I. A solid performance from Tempest. The more you drink it the more you want it! 8/10 booms!
Which takes us to a poignant beer, one which celebrates hanging on to the last of that summer feeling. It's Beavertown in collaboration with Firestone Walker bringing us...
Another strong wee bastard, it's almost as if there is a conspiracy to get me honking mad drunk... Is there? Hmm...
Another good design from Beavertown.
Onto the beer!!
It's another gentle gold which I do like. Reminds be of a baby lion, in a good way of course.
But how does it taste?
Oh my, it's a saucy little wench of a cheeky monkey of a beer. Hits you with the tropical fruit then slaps you with the bitterness hammer. Bit like my seduction technique.
I like it very much. It is very similar to the last one except perhaps the sweetness takes the edge off the bitterness a bit more. Too close too call, this one is also an 8/10 booms!!
Fantastic, what a result. Two fine IPAs to walk into the night with. The good lady had better watch out, when you are half drunk with your lad in your hand everything starts to look like a vagina!
Cheers!
