Two beer posts in one week!! I can hardly contain myself!! I managed to escape for a short while this afternoon to pick up vital supplies for the house. Of course, what could be more vital than beer. Especially when I saw the amazing cans on display.
Check these out. First up:
It looks like Brewdog have decided to jump on the bandwagon of funkily designed cans. This appears to show a steempunkish Wizard galloping on a giant rabbit? Madness, but just my kind of madness.
A cheeky design and no mistake. This is an India Pale Weizen with a massive 7.5% strength. Heck, will it send me gibbering to the moon?
Honest to heck, I can pour a beer but this was a frothing monster and the head showed absolutely no sign of abating. It smelled really good. Tasted great too, very beery and doesn't reflect the strength at all. Good wheat flavor and hops shining like the star they are. I tell you after last week it is a relief to pull a cracker as they say. Brewdog don't always do it for me but in this one they have made a winner! 8/10
Next up.
Beavertown!!! I think this has to be one of my favourite breweries! I get excited whenever I see one of their funky cans. I don't think they can be beaten for originality and sheer jazz! The beer is most often pretty amazeballs too.
Look at this skull laden beauty! In particular the hologram'y raspberry hats they have on.
I love it already, am I biased? Probably. This is a German style raspberry pale ale. I mean that just sounds top snotch!!! It's 6.2% So despite my best attempts at remaining sober tonight I might be onto plums as they say here.
It's slightly labia pink. I am not worried by that. Get in my mouth you! I cry.
Ooft. It's lovely! Like a silky liquid thing with just the right amount of beer flavour versus a subtle raspberry. Don't get me wrong, for sheer raspberry goodness it is no Cranachan Killer but it is very good. The raspberry is a little too tart to be perfect but golly gosh it's a good un. It looks like this will be a tie, another 8/10!
Amazing!! What a weekend beerage! Right, I am off to pretend to the good lady that I am slightly less squiffy than I actually am. Hooray!!
Cheers!
