philpy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 M&S are quite reasonable for ales, had a browse last night whilst killing time and ended up buying 4 bottles. They always constantly rotate their stock and bring new stuff in, a good change from the likes of asda who always stock the same stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It's 2016 - crowd-funding isn't just for start-ups and illicitly paying for cruise holidays to Russia. It's just a different way of raising capital than a traditional share issue, in exchange for some perks from the company rather than a corporate dividend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Enjoying a bottle of Old Engine Oil, Harvieston's porter. Got it in Morrison's, which actually has a good selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like Old Engine Oil, but the Engineer's Reserve is even better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Visited the Mountain Town tap room to get more beers than their selection in their 'downtown' bar/restaurant. Had a blackberry wheat Stout, which wasn't bad given how mixed up that concept is, as well as a local, Belgian-style trippel which was very good. The interesting feature is that the brewery does a line of gruit beers, which are beers brewed with rosemary and more obscure herbs to add flavour, rather than hops. The end product is similar apart from a lack of bitterness, which doesn't bother me. Having tried their original gruit a few years ago I went for their peach gruit, which was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Enjoying a bottle of Old Engine Oil, Harvieston's porter. Got it in Morrison's, which actually has a good selection. Surprisingly Harviestoun's range has been available regularly in Australia for over 10 years but only ever seen the Old Engine Oil, Schiehallion and Bitter & Twisted. No bad stuff but always need to check the best before date as they might have been sitting on the shelves for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty meadow Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm not a massive fan of the jet black heart. It's a continuation of the milk stout prototype I'm sure? I have a bottle of the Brewdog Born to Die to have tomorrow. 8.5%(give or take a 0.). Looking forward to trying it. Had a couple of pints of the Jet Black Heart in Brewdog (Merchant City) on Sunday and if I hadn't been working next day I would definitely have had a few more. Each to their own tastes but I thought it was lovely. Available for £1.50 a bottle in Morrisons at the moment. On the subject of Morrisons, I popped into the Stevenston branch after work yesterday and they have revamped their beer section with quite a few I haven't tried before including another Brewdog (Hop Fiction? ). On a more pleasing note, to make way for the new range they had a table full of reduced beers which I took full advantage of. Some beers for as little as 40p :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Had a couple of pints of Schiehallion in the sunshine last night. Haven't had it for a while and it was certainly a lot nicer than I remembered. Maybe it was the good weather though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had it for a while and it was certainly a lot nicer than I remembered. Maybe it was the good weather though. The pub which is 20m from my desk has this on tap. I also have the NE beer festival at Pittodrie to look forward to next week. Tough times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty meadow Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 40p a bottle - shocking, irresponsible marketing. I'm outraged. Do you think they'll have any left?To be honest I was also a bit outraged so being the good, responsible citizen that I am I promptly cleared the shelves before any weak willed person was tempted by those ridiculously low prices. Things like this do nothing to promote responsible drinking.I'm on my 5th can of the evening right now :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
