I was at an under 8s tournie the other week and if you sent his team a text they would deliver your beer to you pitch side to any of if the 4 pitches in play that day.
Fantastic.
I'm hoping that might be in the Koru Lounge this week.mr bungle wrote:Nice drop. Excellent tropical hoppy burps.

How did he find who ordered?
Think slightly different over with you, payment was a concern. People ordering loads (or joke ordering to mates seats) so looked a app and prepayment but licence laws was an issue.

It great for a session or a couple when you are driving. Sours really do survive lower alcohol content well and retain that all important drink ability.The Native wrote:Had a few cans of the Garage Project White Mischief. I quite liked it.

A collab with kirkstall brewery called break even. Very nice pale ale ON CASK. 4.6%
Also check out pressure drop's new release (today). A Million Filaments 7.4% Blackberry, blackcurrant, milk sugar, and mosaic Sour IPA.
Guess where I went instead of doing the garden

The Verdant American Wheats are pretty good though some might say a variation on a theme! Their recent brown was a tasty can as well. Haven't seen a Verdant on cask as yet.
Pressure Drop doing a tap take over at my local beer shop next Friday. Will look out for that one though I found the last two straight sours Pam and Edna a bit too sour for me, maybe this one being an IPA with some milk sugar might more to my taste?

How is that still classed an IPA?happyhooker wrote:Well, for all my slagging off of verdant for just making variants of the same juicy pales, I've just had something very decent from them.

Same. They've produced some stunners.

Basically that.

I guess the mosaic helps with the pale ale description, but a sour by definition is soured, so I'm wondering how they achieved that?Fat Old Git wrote:Based on an IPA but with additions I'm guessing.Ted. wrote:How is that still classed an IPA?happyhooker wrote:Well, for all my slagging off of verdant for just making variants of the same juicy pales, I've just had something very decent from them.

In other news, I just finished off the evening with a very nice malty west coast style ipa (think Sierra Nevada torpedo style).
The odd thing was that it was from Utah which surprised me greatly.
Uinta brewery hop nosh ipa. Would drink again, however unlikely that would seem

I'm personally not a huge fan of sours, mainly as they play merry hell with my teeth and gut, but a few have surprised me. I am most definitely a fan of pale ales. And Brown ales and bitters. And Porters. And Stouts. And lagers, all done well of course.
Indeed, draught bitters that they were sweet and fizzy but otherwise lifeless.Fat Old Git wrote:Done well it's the important thing for any style
We certainly need some new style names for some of the newer creations. But inaccurate names aren't a new thing. Most of the kiwi and Aussie posters would have grown up drinking beers called "draught " that came in cans and bottles.

The original is ok, although in the generic international lager style. The Strong is like a mix of old fashioned home brew and rocket fuel.Harden up!!! wrote:I do not know if its been mentioned but I quite like Taula.
I started out thinking the same. Had my interest peaked by a beer that had "a hint of Flemish sour". Then tried a proper Belgium sour and couldn't understand how anyone could drink it. But some mold sours here kept my interest and my palate adapted until I ended up trying the Belgium one again and really enjoyed it.Pat the Ex Mat wrote:Sour beers don't do it for me at all sadly
For me it's a weather and situation thing. Sours are my go-to beer on a hot day or the first beer of a session.Fat Old Git wrote:I started out thinking the same.
