Tally Ho is a limited edition Barley wine style beer, brewed at Adnams since 1880. It’s traditionally a Christmas beer which is brewed in October in limited quantities. I was very kindly sent my bottle of Tally Ho by Sean at Adnams who offered to send everyone involved in Beer Swap a bottle to try. […]

Beer Swap Beer #7 Shepherd Neame 1698 (6.5%)
Shepherd Neame 1698 was the last of my Beer Swap Beers, I know all of the reviews were supposed to have been finished before Christmas but as I received 7 beers plus the 4 test parcel beers, not to mention my trying not to drink during the week (sometimes failing miserably…a bit like tonight really), […]

Whitstable Oyster Stout was the 2nd of the Whitstable beers that Pete sent as part of Beer (but you already gathered that from the title) Just like the Raspberry Wheat this one came in a 330ml bottle with the same picture on, which as I said before I really liked, so I was pleased to see […]

Whitstable Raspberry Wheat Beer was another of the Beer Swap beers sent by Pete. I’ll be honest and until the beers arrived, I had not heard of Whitstable brewery, so as is usually the case with new things, I headed off to Google and ended up on the Whitstable brewery website, which told me they are […]

Leviathan was the last of the trio of Hopdaemon beers that Pete sent as part of Beer Swap, I had enjoyed the other two (Skrimshander and Green Daemon Hellas) so to say I was looking forward to this was an understatement, the description on the bottle and on the Hopdaemon website sounded right up my […]

Hop Daemon’s Green Daemon Helles was the 2nd beer I decided to sample from my beer swap package. Green Daemon Helles is a 5% ABV bottle conditioned pale beer, it had quite a lot to live up to after the Skrimshander i had with my midweek curry. It started off quite promising when it poured […]

Hopdaemon’s beers were something I had heard a little bit about, mainly through twitter and the various beer blog’s so when my proper beer swap beers arrived and I opened them up to find that my beer swapper, @petebrissenden brewer at Hopdaemon had included some of his beers along with some other local brews I was […]

This was the last of the Beer Swap test parcel beers that Mark from @realalereviews sent me. I was all ready to post the story on the beer and the brewery as it was another place (apart from the civil war that is) I hadn’t heard of so when I looked it up on google, […]

Cotswold Wheat Beer was another beer that was sent to me by @realalereviews as part of the Beer Swap test parcel, (which also included Hook Norton Hooky Gold and Hook Norton Haymaker) and was from a brewery I hadn’t heard of before so I went straight to their website. According to their site: Modelled on the famous Weisse […]

Hook Norton Haymaker was another beer that was sent to me by @realalereviews as part of the Beer Swap test parcel, It had a lot to live up to as it followed the other Hook Norton beer he sent (Hooky Gold). The first thing that makes this stand out is the label, I love it, […]
