Reptilian Beers!
Hello!!! It's Saturday night and that means nothing less than a good solid beer'ing! I will be delivering one to myself man style and had better hear no complaints.
After the dark fizzle of last week's Stout/Porter combo I thought I would head back to IPA territory. See if those pale chaps can conjure me up some glorious fling-flang in my knickers.
So what do we have? Two of my favourite breweries going head to head. Goodness me it's enough to make a man choke on his own ejaculate! Were a man to sup from his own tap, as it were.
So what are we waiting for?
Let the good times roll with...
The alligator man, quite the name. This one is from my favourite brewery in the whole wide world. The amazing Tempest brewery from the south of Scotland. Can they live up to their rep??
It's a very pale gold. Like the first rays of sun on an April morning. Cheery little head, just bobbing about on top showing no signs of going anywhere.
At 9.2% it's a strong wee bastard. Over to you, oh illustrious video man!
He approves and so do I. A solid performance from Tempest. The more you drink it the more you want it! 8/10 booms!
Which takes us to a poignant beer, one which celebrates hanging on to the last of that summer feeling. It's Beavertown in collaboration with Firestone Walker bringing us...
Another strong wee bastard, it's almost as if there is a conspiracy to get me honking mad drunk... Is there? Hmm...
Another good design from Beavertown.
Onto the beer!!
It's another gentle gold which I do like. Reminds be of a baby lion, in a good way of course.
But how does it taste?
Oh my, it's a saucy little wench of a cheeky monkey of a beer. Hits you with the tropical fruit then slaps you with the bitterness hammer. Bit like my seduction technique.
I like it very much. It is very similar to the last one except perhaps the sweetness takes the edge off the bitterness a bit more. Too close too call, this one is also an 8/10 booms!!
Fantastic, what a result. Two fine IPAs to walk into the night with. The good lady had better watch out, when you are half drunk with your lad in your hand everything starts to look like a vagina!
Cheers!
2 solid beers I see, much better than the over-fruity efforts of recent times.
One of my favourite posts of the week!
Ha, cheers man. Funnily enough is one of my favourites too :0D
Do you just buy one? Or collect some extras just in case a tree gets agro?
I always buy extras! And I have plenty of others lurking in the fridge in case I really need to go Berky tree style!
I suspected as much!
The god awful ones go in Christmas hampers this time of year? :D
I pap them all off on to my brother. He will literally drink any old shit and think it's good. He thinks I'm awesome in my generosity!!!
Well free beer improves the taste instantly for me!
Same here actually!
Hay @meesterboom,
I think you would like what happened to me over the weekend, I went to deliver pizza to a strip club, it was amazing walking in and seeing girls dancing.
but the best bit is they tipped me with a bottle of budweiser which was the highlight of my night :D
Haha! That is pretty cool! I read that one I am sure a few days ago!
I did blog about it yes so you might have already read that, I did however visit the brothel again last night which was interesting.
The guy doing the security there I have known him for about 15 years or something, when he saw me he said not to say anything to his wife as shit would hit the fan.
One thing that did worry me last night was the amount of guys in the place, there was no seats left as they were taken and there was even guys standing at the bar.
There was about 3 women downstairs working the floor which was a little bit in my mind crazy because last time I delivered there was at least 20 lasses and about 5 guys.
You know what they say though, if the bedroom is rocking, don't come knocking :D
Lol, I love the fact you went back. Cheeky monkey!! ;0)
Always a deadlock with these two breweries! I give the slight edge to Tempest every time, but Beavertown's winning me back with designs like that!
Tempest for taste and Beaver for design. Beavertown of course ;0)
Looks like somebody had a good day with those beers! Which by the way where you get so many beers with crazy names and flavors ?
I go to a really cool specialist shop, it's awesome!
Such cool beers , I always wonder if it's photoshopped or not. haha
Learnt a new word : attic As in : BTC sneaks into the attican scene.
Cheers , man ! xD
Hehe, nah, I wouldn't spare the time to Photoshop them!
They are smashing designs though! Hehe, cool word!!
haha! seduction technique. another successful beer tasting sir, ya'll have some strong beers over there but if I had to go 7 months without the sun I'd need those too!
Hey I think I understood most of what you said this time! I hope you said 7 months.
I think I did say seven month's!!!
Don't let David Icke near the beers, he'll try and write a conspiracy about them.
Hahah, is he still alive? Him and his purple trackies and lizard conspiracies. lol!
He's alive and kicking.
I will have to check him out. I am surprised he aint on here
He'll be the next person to knock at your door, be careful.
I've got a beater behind the door, he will be the one having to be careful!
Frisky.
That's Glasgow living!
You said, "Go fight a tree," right? I think you said that. Whatever that line was, it got me laughing.
That's exactly what I said! The trees are getting it!
That actually sounds more sane than hugging a tree.
Yeah, hugging them is for fools!
Finally a good weekend of beers and no strange shit. I think Tempest should sponsor you as even when they are poor you are somewhat bias.
I am totally biased, I admit it. I think I have one ever snarked at one of their beers!
This post is amazing.
Love the writing, really made me laugh!
Love myself a beer too so gonna check out your other posts and hopefully enjoy the reads.
Cheers!
Ha! Glad you liked, I only do beer reviews on Saturdays though but cheers!
I look forward to Saturday then :-)
Wayhay! It's dark beers this saturday. Dark as sin!
