Another Stewart offering, does exactly what it says on the tin, yum yum.

That used to be sold at one of the discounters (probably LiDL) years ago in bottles. It was one of the first ''craft'' beers that I could afford back then and it always went down well. A particularity about my taste buds was that it would sometimes have an aftertaste of basil for me. But for no one else apparently.

Lidl up north have a good selection of Williams Bros and Stewart, our local one has a few from Stewart, and I saw something on the Williams Facebook page a few weeks ago about Aldi down here now stocking some of their stuff as well, but only a limited summer range.

Nothing fancy like wot you lot are having,but two pints of Harpers (ALDI) Red Ale,i think its superb,and only £1-29 a pint.

A couple of new ones last night.

The Thornbridge tastes very much like a Thornbridge.

The Love Lane was another Quality Save bargain. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but that's the only place I've ever seen their stuff which makes me wonder if it's really their own brand under a pretend name. Really nice, and a bargain at £1.69.

My local did a Liverpool-themed tap-takeover a while back and Love Lane were one of the brewers featured. They're genuine and actually pretty good but I've not seen or heard from them since.

Just done a search, they're bang in the centre of Liverpool with a very nice looking set up, might have to pay a visit next time I'm working over there.

Another Stewart for me again, this one is bang on.

And a Tiny Rebel which has way too many oats in it, not one that I'll be having again.

Tonight's Northern Monk nonsense is an Orange Drizzle Cake, aka a blood orange IPA. It's not far off being a fruited sour.

A bit more miss than hit from this one, still, if you don't try you don't know.

So, where have I been on holiday?
