In case you missed it we added a load of new beers this month – here’s a selection of the best sellers in July
I’m not sure if it’s the belting weather but this has been the biggest seller of the month so far. A brilliant collab between our very own Weird Beard and Port Street Brew house in (Manchester) and Lervig (Norway). Frog is not too heavy on the fruit and the gooseberry is subtle and slightly bitter. Behind that there is a solid classic modern pale ale flavour with a tart tang and a smooth an somewhat creamy finish. Classic summer suppin’. We are down to our last case of this so grab your while you can.
I can’t lie the other beers shifting in rapid fashion in July have also been Weird Beard-tinged. Little Things has made a return and has been a solid favourite while Cardinal and Darkside have been steady Centennial has been lapped up by you. One of our personal beers of the year – super strong and with the front flavours of melting Refreshers it’s great to have it back!
Another newbie filling the boxes has been this untraditional offering from Walthamstow. It’s the only beer they do but it’s sooooo good. So so easy to drink this is a must-try for lager fans and beer fans in general. “Clean and crisp “is an often over used term but this is exactly that. But it has a grassy freshness that really lifts it and marks out out as a brilliant beer for this weather. Again another top notch beer for sinking in the sun.
Last but not least are the Bianca Road range. A really interesting set of beers here and doing well. There’s a definite modern edge to them but they are very understated and hold lots of nods to classic styles. They’re not quite punch-you-in-the-chops out there in terms of tasting notes but seem more than happy to sit there and deliver strong and perfectly balanced styles. One to watch out for.
Cheers for buying beer, listening to our rambles and being awesome in general.
