So I should pour the 24 bottles of Orval I just bought down the drain then? OK.


Orval is perfect, other opinions are NOT available.

Speaking of legitimate; Are London Beer Lab legit? Looks like a learn to make homebrew setup and then pick the beer up when it’s done. Do they sell beer commercially?


It’s a little unclear but the current consensus seems to be that they are not a proper brewing enterprise, i.e. they are not rateable. I haven’t seen their beers for sale anywhere, either. The brewery and beers were added by a US admin who I don’t think did much research on them. If you hear anything, let me know.

You can buy their own beers from the brewery and from CBC Brixton so that should make them legit?

Hi folks - currently in stormbird, camberwell, enjoying a half of siren ratchet. It was £2.50 a half - I could swear it was on for £6 a half a CBC Brixton not that long ago - is that right? If so, what's the reason for the price differential? Anyone know?

The CBC/CPK pubs seem to be charging £6.00 per special Siren beer. I checked the Cask Pub & Kitchen list today and they are selling both Ratchet and Shattered Dream for £6.00 per half.
