Beer?

If you buy IPAs at half price, it means they're too old, so never going to be that great.

You're not wrong there, 20th April is the best before date on them.

Turning Tide, an Adnams-Toast collaboration. A "Raspberry Scotch Ale,” which is a style I know nothing about but it's pretty malty and the raspberry flavour tastes fresh

I'm after a bit of shopping advice please?

For the first time in a couple of years I've just had a look at the Beerwulf website and it looks like they don't sell individual bottles any more, just cases or those home pump machine style kegs, and I used to enjoy rummaging through their selection every now and again.

Who do you use now that can give a varied selection at a decent price?

I usually go to the brewers' websites and order direct but I've used Honest Brew a few times and they've had reasonable prices. If I remember rightly, they also do a reduction for members so it might be possible to set up your membership before you make your order and get the discount on your first purchase.

Polly's Brew are really good. It's a shame they don't have a taproom because a little stay in Mold might otherwise have been an enjoyable one. But the brewery taps tend to be in bigger cities. That said, I'm overdue a beer trip. I could use Bristol as a staging post for Verdant down in Penryn.

For some reason I tbought Pollys did have a taproom or maybe thats Deya. Love Pollys, but slightly prefer Deya.

My fave bar in Antwerp has just had a nice fresh delivery of Deya, so will be headimg over soon.

A couple from a local brewery. They are building a tap room too, something to look forward to later in the year!

And this in a local pub a few days ago, was very well presented.

I spent last night on different websites and lost count of the number of times I said, 'Tesco, three for a fiver; Morrison's, four for the price of three; Asda, four for six quid.'

It must only be the hard to find stuff that keeps them in business as I can't see anyone paying £25 for a twelve pack that you can get for £15 from a supermarket.

Deya!

I'm blaming you for making me buy a 24 can case of Luka Polly. Meanwhile, a rather good hazy pale in the Deya style from Northern Monk.

Bulgarian lager and Paprika Lays crisps from our local Eastern European supermarket

Tour of Camden Town Brewery today, and very enjoyable and informative it was too.
