Tyrone Shoelaces Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I see " Cains Brewery " in Liverpool is to close. Asians owners there seemed to have done a " Venkies ".
PAFELL Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I see " Cains Brewery " in Liverpool is to close. Asians owners there seemed to have done a " Venkies ". Very sad. A brewing co you may want to search out is PRIVITEER from Manchester. They are doing some interesting beers. RED DUKE 4.8% is really good.
PAFELL Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I tried a beer from Cheshire recently called NIMROD. Brewed by WORTH BREWING COMPANY which done in a British Legion Club. Only 3.8% but a cracking beer.
bellamy11 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Received a gift this morning from Tiny Rebel brewery from Newport in Wales. 6 bottled beers, 2 each of URBAN PALE ALE 5.5% - HADOOKEN 7.4% (heard there is a band of the same name) BELGIAN GOLDEN STRONG ALE 10% (This one not even on their website yet) This is a brewery worth keeping an eye on. Tried their beers on tap at Sussex beer festival in Hove this year. They are a fairly new brewery, who have just got their first tap. Beers are slowly hitting beer festivals. I hope the beer is better than the band:
PAFELL Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I hope the beer is better than the band: LOL I am not much of a music person. Thank God it is part of my job to search for micro - brewing co & beers - and not bands / music. Tiny Rebel beers are on the lines of Belgium beers imo.
MCMC1875 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Jaipur made an appearance at The Continental, Preston, on Wednesday. It will be gone by Monday though.
PAFELL Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Jaipur made an appearance at The Continental, Preston, on Wednesday. It will be gone by Monday though. Jaipur does not last 24 hours in the either of the clubs I work in. A really good and popular beer.
PAFELL Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Any folk going to this years Great British Beer Festival? 13 - 17th August. I will be there on the 13 & 14th and on the 17th. I had booked to go on the 17th as I presumed I was doing my managers (who is my best mate also) shift on the tuesday, which is the trade day. He then told me that he was taking me on the trade day as well as the following day, wednesday. So going 3 times. About 900 beers there this year. www.gbbf.org.uk

MCMC1875 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Some forthcoming beer festivals: Aug 23-25 Royal Hotel, Great Harwood Aug 30-Sep 1 Forts Arms, Clayton-le-Moors Sep 27-29 Ramsbottom Civic Hall
PAFELL Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Went to The Great British Beer Festival yesterday, at London Olympia. Very good day. Had some terrific beers. Hot Dog 5% by Binghams (Chilli flavour at the end) Orange Wheat 4.2% by Green Jack (Fantastic little beer) Blackfriar 7% by Invealmond Lion Hart 4.2% by Sadlers 13 Guns 5.5% by Thwaites Sunrise 4.4% by Bristol Beer factory Thai me up 3.8% by Irving Corncrake 4.15 by Orkney Anastasia Exile Stout 5% by Ascot Courage Imperial Russian Stout 10% by Wells & Young (I considered this far better than Greene Kings 5X) 5x 12% by Greene King (folk had to queue for this beer and were limited, for obvious reasons, to a third of a pint. I hadn't been to the GBBF before this year. But it was really good. The beer, food, atmosphere. The loads of folk who volunteered to help run the event. No trouble whatsoever. Well worth attending. Sadly I can't make Peterbrough due to work commitments - But hearing that is an event alos worth attending. This starts this week.

Willie Eckerslike Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 The Forts Arms has been so busy, there's hardly any beer left today. I popped round for a few yesterday evening Lager drinkers don't know what they're missing mate!
PAFELL Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I popped round for a few yesterday evening Lager drinkers don't know what they're missing mate! The club I work for are having another beer festival this month. Just finished putting the beer list together. Smaller 2.8% by Hand drawn monkey Seamless 3.6% by Redwillow Outlandish Pale 3.9% by Offbeat Pacifica 4.0% by Tyne bank Chocolate orange stout 4.0% by Amber Elderflower 4.0% by Saltaire Reiver IPA 4.4% by Hadrian & Border Prehistoric Amber 4.5% by Caveman Dark Mild 4.5% by Bridestones Rum Porter 4.6% by Boggarts Rooster & birrifico Italiano 4.7% (two Brewerys got together to make this one) Full Nelson 4.7% by Tiny Rebel Cockleroy (black IPA) 4.8% by Alchemy Hot Dog (chilli stout) 5.0% by Binghams ( i tried that at the GBBF this year.

The club is an RAF association club. The reason for this festival is to raise money for the RAFA Charity (wings). It is also a time some folks remember the battle of Britain. Ironically when we were planning the festival. Tiny Rebel brewery paid us a visit. Discovered what we were doing and donated 4 firkins (288 pints) of beer and 300 bottles of beer. Reason I mention that is there are many negative stories about various brewing companies, nice to have a positive one for a change. There beers are dam good as well. As a club we have just picked up 3 camra awards South East Sussex club of the year Sussex Club of the year Regional Club of the year (Sussex & Surrey)
