Goose Island Mild Winter Ale

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!

To be honest that is a very nice larger.

I really do think its one of the best if not the best I've ever tasted. Made by the Staropramen bods for the Co-op. Not cheap but worth it.

Whilst I think the Co-op Czech beer is nice... you need to try more beers yo!

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!

If I try any more beers I will surely die soon. The Czech beer is my at home lager, when I'm out or beer shopping its a different matter.

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.

Kanifee · 4 Aug 2012 at 00:30

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!

Kanifee · 4 Aug 2012 at 01:45

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!

craarc · 4 Aug 2012 at 04:40

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