Brewdog x Cloudwater Collaboration - NEIPA - New England IPA (available in Tesco)

BrewDog and Cloudwater originally combined forces to release this New England IPA in early 2017. It was followed up six months later with a limited release V2 edition. Fast forward to August 2019 and we’re now lucky enough to find this beer available in most large Tesco stores across the UK.

Lancaster Brewery – Lancaster Blonde

Beer Reviews No Reply

Lancaster Blonde is a blonde ale produced by multi-award winning, Lancaster Brewery. It’s one of four beers that make up their core range of traditional ales.

In an age where craft breweries are becoming increasingly experimental, pushing boundaries and veering further away from ye olde ales, Lancaster Brewery are unashamedly old-fashioned.

No fuss, just proper old school brewing using freshly milled malt, whole-leaf hops and live yeast brewed with a focus on sustainability – with power coming from solar panels on their roof and all used malt going to feed local free range pigs. READ MORE

Most Northern Irish bars are tied to macro beer distributors, meaning there’s often limited space for independent beer taps. Guinness, although one of the biggest beers on the planet, is therefore often our default go-to. Even though it would be impossible to claim Guinness is a craft beer by any definition, we’ve still got a lot of love for the black stuff, particularly compared to the lagers it usually sits beside at the bar.
