Callum has opened the Hoptopod one but hasn’t let me have a swig yet. No way these are gonna last the weekend let alone month.

Found out due to taking a different dog walk route that my local taproom/wanker beer pub is doing takeaways fri/sat. First fresh beer in weeks! Incredible.

@thewarn were you aware of this?

Pound for pound I reckon Vocation’s Life and Death is right up there. Drinking one now, canned 9 days ago and if they stuck a Verdant or Pressure Drop label on there and charged me £5 I don’t think I’d be disappointed

Best Vault City one I’ve had so far. Look at that colour! Reckon it has more blackcurrants per 100ml than ribena. Perfect sourness levels too.

Was the first properly nice (i.e. non-oniony) NEIPA I ever had (I think there’s a year-ish old post from me about it upthread somewhere)

This was fucking honking. Maybe gose is not for me.

Most gose are not like that. Whilst I enjoyed that, I’d be trying something like a Magic Rock Salty Kiss or something for a real intro to them. That was a weird one

Vault City are two for two in my books right now. Raspberry Skies is absolutely delicious!

Looks like you were having it out of that little plant pot :grinning:

(that one is second in my VC rankings)

Gose shouldn’t be higher than 4.0% and should have big flavourings “natural” or no

I was not! Cheers!

They were selling verdant, siren and kernel at the bakery today.

Had they ran out of bread?

Pretty much. Has asparagus and eggs too. Great ‘bakery’ (bloody love that place)

I’m having a couple of supermarket £3 beers now at the end of the working week (why are the big supermarket cans all £3?): Tiny Rebel/Polly’s Pineapple Express (Tesco) and a BBNO American Pale Ale (from Rich’s shop). The nice stouts would be a bit heavy right now.

Just drunk this too! So so good.

This is unlike anything else I’ve ever had, tbf. Certainly not what you should set your gose base at. Don’t know if I liked it or not to be honest, but I will drink the second one I got when I’m in the mood.
