Can't say if it's nice or not! I'm only familiar with 2 of the breweries (Schneider & Hoffbrau) so not sure how the rest stack up.

I've just pick one up on the way home from work, the strengths range from 5.4% to 6.3%. I'm familiar with the beers included from Schneider and HB Munchen, however the other 8 breweries are all new to me. It's nice to see that they've included a couple of marzens and a weissebier alongside the usual helles biers. Not tasted any of them yet as they need chilling first.

Kinder Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I’m in Napa in California and we visited Fieldwork brewery. Tried their hoppy tasting flight and it’s everything I love about West coast beers. A great selection of strong, hazy juice bombs. They sadly don’t export to the UK, they’re only in California, otherwise I’d be stocking my fridge. SKRam and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) I’d heard of this beer - it’s apparently a bit of a legend. It’s won America’s best beer a number of times and it’s brewed in Santa Rosa, near where we’re staying. They had it in the restaurant we were in last night and it’s a banger. It’s an 8% double IPA, very tasty and carries its strength well but very bitter. Really nice, a little on the bitter side for my taste but it’s a great beer.

I mistrust anyone who says "It will make beers consistent..." etc. That's what the large multi-nationals tried in the 1960's and 70's. Their mantra was "Go anywhere in the country and drink a pint that tastes just like you were in your local". They sold 'chemical' beer - witness Whitbread Trophy, Double Diamond, Worthington E etc. They were virtually the same beer. One good thing came out of large brewery standardisation - the rise of CAMRA. cstand and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
