Brewdog "Indie"

Pleasant, creamy, frothy pale ale. Very nice to have with my pizza on Fathers Day

Wickwar 'Golden Arrow' pale ale

Nice alcohol hit in this strong pale ale - a sound and vaguely fruity flavour, but overall a strong ale to be enjoyed on its own rather than with food

Robinsons Special Edition Label

A nut-coloured ale with a malty bitterness tempered by a soft sweetness; very nice to drink slowly

Apparently produced in co-operation with Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson - I wonder whether that just means they kept pouring it down his throat until he fell over.

Moira got this for me just because it's got a zombie on the label and she's a big zombie fan

Marston's "Mythos" Hellenic Beer

What a beautiful beer - a blonde with none of the reedy wheat tastes you might expect - just a soft honeyed flavour with a strong alcoholic punch

Harper's IPA

It does what it says: a very hoppy, strongly bitter ale and very enjoyable on its own. It's described on the till receipt as "American IPA" - despite the neat Union Flag bottle cap and the legend "Proudly brewed in Britain" on the neck label :hmmm:

happy birthday! to the OP! Calls for a brew or Two!
 

The Kraken (black spiced rum)

Moira always makes up a goodie bag for me to enjoy on UK Fathers Day - chocs, nuts potato chips and - of course - something nice to drink. Amongst the bottles and bags today was this special rum I've not seen before. It's like Lamb's Navy Rum but even smoother, with a spicy (but not hot spicy) note. The best rum I've ever tasted, I'd say, and it's on offer at Tesco Stores for a Special Price of £20 (normally £26 or £28 she tells me)

Kraken is one of the better makes and one I enjoy on occasion but I don't recall seeing it in that type of bottle.

My ankle biters got me the latest TOON top from Adidas and a case of mixed golden beers.

Mustn't forget the bar of chocolate from my granddaughter :)

Harper's Ruby Red Ale

Rich dark red ale with a fresh, sweet nougat taste

Brewdog "Shore Leave"

Afraid this is just the empty - it was nice. A good full-bodied amber ale with lots of life in it from "The Good Ship Brewdog" (as it says on the back)
