In a time when we’re all increasingly feeling the pinch, it’s comforting to know that we can still pick up some quality beers as part of our weekly shopping without breaking the bank. While we’re firm advocates of supporting your local bottle shop and craft breweries, sometimes you just need some affordable fridge fillers.
With that in mind, here’s our list of the Top 10 Craft Beers that you’ll find in most supermarkets in the UK. In no particular order… READ MORE
Craft Metropolis is a craft beer bottle shop and taproom based in South East London. Like many bars, breweries and bottleshops across the UK, they’ve had to navigate their way through a crazy time thanks to lockdown over the last 12 months. Founder, Oli Meade was kind enough to take some time to tell us about how the pandemic has affected them.
We used to love going to rock nights, punk gigs, hanging out with friends and sharing beers… then 2020 happened. A year where bars, pubs, clubs and gigs became a distant memory.
As someone who’s been living alone and working from home for almost a year now, Twitch has been a revelation. Most people think of Twitch as a place to watch hardcore gamers flex their kill/death ratios or whatever, but there’s so much more to it. You can find people just chatting, singing, dancing, exercising… you name it, someone’s probably doing it live on Twitch.
One weekend last year we randomly found Gemma DJ-ing her regular Saturday rock night on Twitch and it brought so many memories flooding back of how we used to spend weekends in ‘real life’. She’s also built up a really friendly and inclusive community in the chat. The social interaction, good vibes and banging tunes have gone a long way towards keeping us sane during lockdown.
After 2020, we could all use a fresh start. With increasing demand for low and no-alcohol beers – and in time for Dry January – HonestBrew and Thornbridge have teamed up to create a limited edition ultra-low alcohol IPA. Packed full of flavour via the use of Citra and Mosaic hops from the USA, the body is crisp with a balanced bitterness to finish. Fresh Start is perfect for those looking to reduce their alcohol consumption in the new year, without compromising on taste.
Fresh Start confidently shows that you can continue to support craft breweries and enjoy a tasty and refreshing beer — regardless of whether there’s booze involved or not. Ideal for health-conscious consumers turning over a new leaf for the New Year. READ MORE
Beavertown Brewery have relaunched their Tempus Barrel Project with two new beers – inspired by the seasons and created with locally sourced ingredients – The Chariot and The Rule Of Three will take drinkers’ palettes out of the city and back to the wild.
Harmoniously inspired and timed with the ancient Pagan Wheel of the Year, the new range of Tempus Barrel Project Beers looks to explore uncharted territories of flavour. Reconnecting with nature, harnessing locally sourced ingredients from fruit, foraged herbs, malt or hops and transforming them using a range of slower brewing techniques. READ MORE
