Sickly sweet - I guess a bit cake like but going too far .........

Anyone used 4T’s Brewery https://www.4tsbrewery.co.uk/category/cans/page/2/
I had their Mango Fever at a beer festival recently and thinking of ordering a crate of 12 cans.

Well my delivery came, time for a beer

Saw that in Tesco and swerved it as likely being sweet.

I quite like a sweet beer. Just finished this which was rather tasty.

Went to Brubl Brewery last night in Leamington Spa.
Small place underneath the arches - great beer and very reasonably priced too. It was barely more than 5 pounds a pint for some great tasting beer.

[SimonTheSailor]

Back there again -



Great little place , good beer, good prices, friendly staff.

Also try out the Boiler Room - good selection and the owners a bit of a petrol head

Some of these single hop Asda specials have been awful. Some very good. I'd put this as just above average.

Just been to Barcelona and found a nice craft beer place, bit pricey but lovely stuff!!



I had a pint of number 6 (well we had two with Mrs Dundarach too)

I thought that the Galaxy was brilliant -

A new real ale/craft ale bar found last night.
If you're ever in Coventry pop down to the Hops d'Amour bar.
Think it's relatively new (couple of years) - has a good selection of real ales and craft ales available.
Friendly bunch in there, shared tables with others - all good fun

You have quoted the picture? Therefore meaning it appears twice now!

Also worth trying The Eagle bar in Warwick, small place but nice atmosphere - some craft and real ales. They also own The Old Post Office - went there last night - a great little bar/pub - quite funky inside - more real ales and craft beer.

Spent an afternoon here last Saturday - great beer and excellent wood-fired pizza. It's an impressively big operation when you see the brewing hall:

It's a great additional visit if you're doing the Ouseburn in Newcastle (a real pub mecca), just a short distance further down river

Quite like Salt session IPA but I spent a beer weekend in Saltaire back in July and we did, inter alia, the Salt Brewery - found the beer decidedly meh TBH and no cask options of any of their beers - only keg at the usual wierdly inflated prices for the fizzy option.
