Two lovely drops this evening. One from Fierce, a punchy rhubarb flavoured pale and the second from @verdantbrew.bsky.social a hop filled Californian IPA.
Both have good bodies, good flavours, and I'll 100% be recommending and drinking again.

Hands down the best AF beer I've had so far this year, and in fact ever.
Beak have worked wonders here - I'd be hard pressed to say this was AF if blind tasting. Exceptional body, beautiful flavour, it's just superb. Highly highly recommend.

Giving one of the world's best a go tonight - Sierra Nevada's Trail Pass Golden & IPA.
Prefer the IPA personally but both very good AF beers as expected.
Happy Friday! What's in your glass? 🍻

Has anyone else given this a go yet?
Saw loads of adverts so picked up a couple of cans. In my opinion...awful.
For all of the progress made in AF brewing, this is a huge leap backwards. No body, tastes like malty water, just don't get it personally.
Thoughts?

Two contrasting beers to kick off Thursday night
@teamutopian.bsky.social AF Pilsner is lovely and crisp. This would not be out of place in the finest Munich beer halls
@northernmonk.bsky.social Heaven is decadent, rich, smooth and if you guys could make a candle version that'd be lovely thanks!

Two different beers tonight 🍻
One from AF heroes @mashgang.bsky.social - a proper crispy beer certainly not made for snowy nights but it'll be crushable come BBQ season.
@unbarredbrewery.bsky.social's new core AF Pale Low Key - superb pale but would expect nothing else from the Brighton brewers.

First time back at the pub this year discussing a new set of tasting evenings we'll be running throughout the year.
With a permanent AF line on the bar, it makes this month a lot easier going in! Lovely drop from Bristol Beer Factory.

Lovely body on this, flaked oats working a treat and the combo of Citra, Idaho 7 and Mosaic is a knockout as always.
Cheers 🍻

Three more beers drank on my no/low journey this January.
An exceptional lager from @donzokobeer.bsky.social, one of the happiest pilsners (AF or otherwise) I've ever drank from @mashgang.bsky.social and a top pale ale from Gravity Well x We Can Be Friends.
Loving this discovery so far!

First of many bold statements I'm sure I'll make this year, and I can't even blame alcohol, but here goes...
If every AF Beer was as good as this, I'd be happy to go sober for life.
A truly superb beer from @mashgang.bsky.social x Pilot Project.
Council Pop
Phantasm IPA
0.5% ABV

NoLo January Beer #2
Kaleidoscope // Wiper and True // 0.5% Pale Ale
Ahead of the new collab four pack arriving, we picked up a can of Kaleidoscope from Trembling Madness in York.
Pine on the nose, great fruity flavour, and a smooth body. Great head retention right down the glass. Cheers.

Kicked off No/Lo January with Brulo's latest lager "Highway to Hell" weighing in at 0.0% ABV.
A Munich Helles style beer that had the flavour spot on, light mouth feel, grassy, floral aroma and really easy drinking.
Would I order again?
