gorgeous nutty smooth warming ale. delicious richness with a malty body. very fine ale indeed, no bitterness to speak of but it suits the brew so well!
 
Fresh orange from a Zummo machine, it takes the orange's in spit's them with a blade them presses above a 'sieve', it's a commercial machine made in itaty that cost a lot. Popped into work with 'another sick note, they aways treat me & gf well, free drinks and homemade lasange with baby new pot's to heat up in nicrowave for tea :)

so glad i found it, nothing like his spread in any other shop, had a bit of a chat with the owner while i was there and he does appear to know his ales too which always makes the custome experience all the better. will be shopping there a lot more in the future!


flying dog raging bitch, 8.3%.... wow punchy punchy beer, dominating hoppy alchaholness with toasty bready malt, punches your tongue right into the corner!

There is another shop over in Gosforth called Coppers I think and they have a nice but smaller selection.

I tend to get my stuff from The Bottle in York, it's like Rehills on steroids!

Getting a bit disheartened with the whole £3/£4 a bottle thing. It's miles better and there is no going back but it's just so expensive. My cooking lager costs £1.60 a bottle and the good stuff (Warrior IPA) just makes me feel bad after I've drank it..........stupid Craft Beer.

Tempest rocks by the way.
 
yeh i didn't venture into the £3+ bracket just yet, got a little giddy when i got in there though. really should be more shops that sell this type of ale.


tempest you say eh, ill have to give it a go!

flying dog wilde man farmhouse ipa. 7.5%.

comparing to the previous brews this is quite mild to what i was expecting, tasty well balanced crisp pineness, fantastic drink and by far my favorite of the trio!

Brave New World is the one to go for if you like an IPA. They have it on in the Bacchus at the moment.
