Oakham is the label that still always excites me when I see it on the bar. Dark Star is another name that I find it almost impossible to walk away without trying.

Left the King William 45 mins ago. Can still taste the hops! Marvelous!

Not so marvelous is the Brodies listings on Ratebeer - getting a little messy. The Pecan Brown and Calypso Pale are duplicates of the Brew Wharf beers. The single hop pales are now doubling up as London Fields Pales (seen them served both ways)

Yeah, I’ve sent a few suggested corrections to the admins on some of the Brodies beers. Could use a little tidying up.

The JJJ IPA is seriously excellent!

I’ve never liked JJJ, and a mate of mine summed it up perfectly for me recently - "too American", spot on! Too boozy, too much crystal malt which overshadows the hops... probably their worst beer for my money.

Now So’Hop is something else, proper new-wave UK pale ale; "awesome" as I think you’re supposed to say on here.

for a while i was fairly obsessive about Mallinsons, tried to have everything they brewed... had over 200 now, though there’s a bloke (who has the advantage in that respect of living in Hudds) who’s had over 300, he’s only missed about 3...

the other one is Little Ale Cart, since they started 4(?) years ago I’ve missed about 4 full brews, and about half a dozen of the end-of-gyle mixes

Not missed a Steel City yet, though clearly I’m advantaged in that respect - had a couple of close calls mind!


how can you even come close to not trying your own beer!


Minikit brew sold to derby beerex on agreement it would be on at opening weds... Then poison dwarf trashed beer manager’s running order, ended up getting it during a 15-minute train change on the Friday...
