Treat yourself, babe - you deserve it!

Krombacher - Dark (4.7%)

Years ago, I played in numerous bands. Probably too many in hindsight.
Long story short, one of said bands ends up playing a festival in Germany where we were given a refridgerated trailer filled to the brim with Krombacher as a rider.

Let me tell you, babe; it was f****ing class.

Anyway, this dunkel's also class. Heaps of malt, a hefty biscuit base and super smooth.

Grab one and a bun today!

Exale - Girders (9.2%)

I, like everyone in the world, love Irn Bru.

Seeing as Vault City tease me by only brewing their Irn Bru sour seasonally it makes me incredibly happy that have stepped up to fill that void with their own impy Irn Bru Sour.

There's not mucb I can say about it that's it doesn't say on the tin. It tastes like an Irn Bru bar. It's (probably) made from girders. It's surprisingly easy to drink despite the high ABV.

Don't be a dafty - try it for yersel' if you don't believe me.

Left Handed Giant - Mango & Pineapple Fruited Gose (5.5%)

I'll be honest I took a punt on this purely because of the outstanding artwork and let me tell you, babe - so glad I did.

Nailed on as my B(abe)of the Week, if not BOTY

Fierce x Unbarred - Watermelon Wheat (4.2%)

Allegedly it's supposed to be slightly sunny this week and I'm not sure if I could ever go without Watermelon Wheat beer (hi!)

Open wednesday-sunday 10-we're not.

Newbarns x Pellicle - Rustic Lager (4%)

have never stuck out a lager that I didn't love and this is no exception.
Brewed using a variety of heritage grains (S.O to my boi Spelt) if you're after a light and refreshing wee smasher that's not going to ruin your day then this is the can for you.

FFO: Urban loafs, Ariana hops & the footy starting back

Other terrible puns/wordplay include:

in Little Hamilton

Nobody puts Biggar Gin in the corner

Biggar boys & stolen schweppes tonic

The Biggar the solar photovoltaic system is, the more likely it is to pair well with citrus

(Look, I never said I was any good at promotion. It's quality gear and it's on the shelves, babe.)

Things I like about Belgium:

Jean-Claude Van Damme
Audrey Hepburn
Lambics that taste like you're tanning straight fruit juice.

Couldn't decide on a so its an international double, babe.

Ever wish that your ribena had more of a kick? Lindemans got you covered, babe. Is it beer? Is it wine? Idgaf just get that goddamn gorgeous cassis goodness inside me, babe.

Strawberry, raspberry, peaches, whatever your preferred fruit is (as long as it's one of those 3 and not peach because we ran out) treat yourself to a Timmermans. Essential in this weather for beer-lovers and haters alike.

Stay hydrated and pop in and see us.Open all weekend until we're not.

is back, babe.

An imperial stout brewed like a tripel and then fired into an 18 year Aberfeldy sherry cask? Behave yourself.

Six Degrees North Brewery just out here wilding making a goddamn f*cking gorgeous stout you can pair with a thicc slab of caramel shortbread.

Once it's gone it's gone so do your best to not miss out.
