Today my parcel from Two retailers/brewery's came in. Great selection I not sure where to start!

There is some really big players in this group so I am looking forward to trying them Smile

The coffee you can see comes as a package deal from Siren Craft Brewery (one of the best in the UK) this is the same coffee they use in their famous Broken Dreams Breakfast Stout so I am looking forward to that.

Nice Oli- looking forward to your thoughts as you try your latest selections! My gin kick may not be a passing fancy- I was commenting to my wife that they are much more complex, often using locally harvested botanicals, than some if not most other spirits. Been a lot of fun trying different things out for sure.

Let me know if you come across any UK artisan gins I should try!

Tonight's beer is one from Siren Craft Brewery in the UK. It is a Tart and Sour Grapefruit IPA with added Grapefruit Zest and Juice.

Nice beer for a hot day, slightly sour but had sweeter end to it. Huge grapefruit flavours as you would expect.

Tonight's offering is a very slightly sour Berliner Weiss, from Tallgrass Brewing. I thought the whole sour beer thing was just a gimmick, but so far I have had several and enjoyed all but one.

KungOscar I do have the Neb I also have Life is a Peach which has been Barrell aged in Chadonnay barrels Smile

FulhamShaver that's a very interesting beer, how's it taste in regards the Raspberries? Does it give the beer a fruity aroma.

Having a quick nibble and a great beer before I go out, this one is a collaboration between two of my favourite brewery's Magic Rock and Cloudwater, it's a big juicy IPA.

Tonight I am going out to see a mate and watch the last few episodes of Game of Thrones. He is a big beer fan but hasn't really delved into the world of craft beer so I am taking two bottles each of the beers below to get him going....and the missus is being a gem and picking me up - can't be bad Wink

I am especially excited about the beer in the middle which is a collaboration between Siren Brewery and Omnipollo, again two more favourites. The beer is called life is a Peach and this comes from their home brew competition where home brewers enter a beer and who ever wins gets to make a beer in collaboration with these two amazing Brewers.

The beer itself is a Peach Cream IPA aged in Chadonnay barrels.

Jeff, I am lucky that I have such easy access to a lot of these beers although some of them sell out in seconds much like our shaving gear!

There is some great US craft brewers emerging over this side of the pond.

I hope when you get back from work there is a cold brew waiting for you Smile

Thanks Oli, I do! It's this...

It's billed as a hoppy pale wheat ale. Very tasty!
