Zizou-5 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Me and a friend are at the moment in the middle of a " Big Year" of the above beverages. This was inspired by a bird watching film that starred Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and Steve Martin of all things. The rules were to keep a notebook of the above beverages and give it a mark out of ten and a taste description. The winner will be the person with the most recorded at the end of the year. This got me thinking about P and B. There are many people who enjoy a good beer here, so I thought Id start a topic for all the drinkers to post a review of score and taste of anything they came across. To aid fellow P and B Drinkers. The beauty of P and B is that, as its all over the world there are bound to be different products to be found and hunted down. Currently I have two of the Jerimiah Weeds in the fridge waiting to be cracked open. Will post a review later of how they were.

ForzaDundee Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Tennent's Lager - Quality -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryfield Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Currently I have two of the Jerimiah Weeds in the fridge waiting to be cracked open. Will post a review later of how they were. As a strictly lager man, I gave Jeremia a wee go last week. Nice and tasty, but not a session brew in my opinion. Too sweet. A few weeks ago I tried the Ayr Brewery Companies "Doctor Hornbrooks Blonde Stout". Feckin lethal. 7.4%. Two pints max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Been meaning to suggest a thread like this for ages actually. Myself and several others have put several ales up on the What Are You Drinking? thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Tusker - Absolutely top notch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Brains Black is a terrific stout and was my drink of choice when I was in Wales. I would say its even better than Guinness. Brains SA is also great. Edited August 28, 2012 by Lisandro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Brains Black is a terrific stout and was my drink of choice when I was in Wales. I would say its even better than Guinness. Have seen a great review of that but never seen it anywhere. Is it only really available in Wales? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Have seen a great review of that but never seen it anywhere. Is it only really available in Wales? Sadly, it is. To be more specific, it is currently only available to certain pubs in and around Cardiff. Hopefully, it will eventually pop up in pubs all of the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully manage to get it some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Tusker - Absolutely top notch. Had it recently simply for novelty value to relive a bit of my trip to Kenya years back. Tasted just as rank as I remembered it! Each to their own though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I like Pale Ales so Caledonian's Golden Promise (or on tae a) as I like to call it, is very quaffable. Another delightful pale ale is Deuchars IPA. Not sure if available here but the Aussies do a nice pale ale too called Fat Yaks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 On this at the moment. To quote a great man, it has "bags of flavour". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I love my ales it has to be said. Most of the Williams Bros. beers from Alloa are worth a try, particularly Cock O The Walk, Birds and the Bees, Seven Giraffes and Good Times. My favourite is Scottish Session (for a session, obviously) but it's not one of their regulars and it's not easy to find. If you're looking for heavier beers with higher gravity then Broughton Ales are for you. I quite like Old Jock, although it's about 6.3% so not for a session. McEwans Champion Ale is a belter, but at 7.2% (IIRC) it's one bottle and no more. If you like black beers try Budvar Dark. Krusovice do a super dark beer too but it's tough to find. Zizou, if you and your mates are going to do this for a laugh, try this site. Plenty of variety for a beer hobby and you can order single beers. Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 At the moment I am quite partial to Cairngorm Brewery's Black Gold stout, very tasty stuff, with just the right amount of bitterness. Lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I had a few Rampant Gryphons at Stramash at Starks Park a few months back and they blew my heid aff. I talk shite at the best of times but they took the shite that I speak to another level. Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
