Magic Rock & SALT have worked together to produce Ripe Times, a 6.5% DDH IPA. It’s a good beer but more importantly (to some people) it makes smart business sense too. Fans of Magic Rock have an easy introduction to SALT and vice versa and hopefully this leads to the growth of both breweries.
The issue with collaboration beers is that they never seem to be ‘ground breaking’ and always seem to lack a killer edge that often craft breweries tend to provide and thrive from. This is likely because making some sort of 17.6% triple barrel aged chilli-stout may not make a brilliant first impression… not the masses anyway.
Overall, two brilliant up and coming breweries have produced a ‘good’ but not ‘amazing’ beer - am I being too harsh? Check out the review!
I’ve recently tried Cwtch, an exceptional red ale from the Tiny Rebel brewery in South Wales. It’s got an incredible taste and has amazing, eye-catching artwork on the can. It’s a brilliant flagship beer for one of the fastest growing breweries in the country. Could you consider it to be the best ever beer from Wales?
Thanks for checking out the video, if you want to see more I post reviews of new beer every Tuesday. Let me know what beer I should review next!
There’s loads of ‘session IPAs’ out there but how can you determine what makes a good one. I think Hard Graft is a good example of one. It’s got a strong, tasty and bold flavour so it’s something you’d happily drink more than one of. Despite being bold, it doesn’t have a sharp edge, bitterness or off-putting aromas.
Basically, it tastes good and isn’t too strong, so it’s something you can drink lots of! Have you tried this beer, if so what do you think to it?
This IPA is a real statement of intent. At 9.0% it’s a strong drink and packed full of flavour too. The can features great artwork (as usual) and the folks at Abbeydale brewery have once again delivered a great drink!
The only downside I’d say is that due to it’s strength it certainly isn’t a session beer. What are your thoughts on it? And if you have any suggestions on what to review next please let me know!
Deliverance IPA - Abbeydale Brewery - BrewReview #006
I’m a big fan of BrewDog Beers but I especially like Dead Pony Club. It’s citrusy, great tasting and easy to drink. I’m glad that despite the new ‘Punk Manifesto’ that it’s staying around as one of the brewery’s headliners.
What do you think to this beer? Watching my review below, subscribe to the channel and let me know which beer I should review next!
