A damm tasty imperial stout from one of the original craft brewery's in the uk @thornbridge and thier award winning 7.7% stout. I can't believe i haven't tried it before now. It's full bodied lovely chocolately biscuity malty base, with fantastic dark fruits coming through with the nice rich dark chocolate. Great body depth with it 👌 just a bloody delicious stout, i had it in my local craft beer wine bar @harveyleonards for today's stout Sunday. #thornbridgebrewery #stoutsunday #imperialstout #stoutseason #correctglassware by @craftguysi

It's time for the latest crazy creation from Liverpools finest @azvexbrewing and the latest scoop beer if you can call it a beer lol 😆. This time it's 6% of melted chocolate mint ice cream 🍦 😋, that's what it is melted chocolate mint ice-cream and i bloody loved it 😋. It's what you expect from these guy's now, unbelievable smooth rich thick creamy goodness. It's everything that everyone has said in the reviews pic's videos, swipe to see the pour, a big thank you to @joule_mcr for saving me a can. #azvexbrewing #scoopicecreamsour #mintchocolateicecream #icecreambeer #liverpoolcraftbeer by @craftguysi

Another absolute banger from the @sureshotbrew guys today a 6% dry hopped ipa with the thier first use of tropical fusion with motueka and el dorado. It makes it even more juicer than normal, it's like a tropical fruit party going in in your mouth, pineapple, peach passion fruit, orange lime all bursting through amazingly well 😋 👌. It taste's feels stronger then 6% fantastic soft fluffy body mouthfeel with it. Just a top notch ipa 👏 👏. #sureshotbrewingcompany #twoturntablesandamicrophone #dryhoppedipa #ipa #manchestercraftbeer by @craftguysi

I be honest I don't think i have tried all of these experimental flux beer's in the past i can't remember 😂 ,but i did try these new ones. Flux 7 8 9 from @trackbrewingco @verdantbrew . It's a test to see if you can pick out the different hops they used in each one, i didn't peel the label of each can so i don't know what hops were used, but i know each one is absolutely banging. Firstly you have the 5.5% ddh pale, then the 6.5% ipa, then the 8% dipa. All tasting absolutely superb 👌 👏 😋, sweet dank great depth mouthfeel with all of them, i might not know what hops were used but I know they are delicious 😋 . #trackbrewingco #verdantbrewingco #fluxphase7 #fluxphase8 #fluxphase9 by @craftguysi

Another brewery which i have been meaning to try for a bit but never tried until now. And it's a cracking 5.6% pale from @stfermentations from Glasgow. Using hallertau blanc, barbe rouge, mandariana bavaria hops. It's got lovely grapefruit summer berries coming through nicely, nice malty biscuity base with it not a full on hazy but I don't mind that, good body with it. It's a really good pale all around. #simplethingsfermentations #paleale #glasgowcraftbeer #scottishcraftbeer #craftbeerlife by @craftguysi

I have been wanting to try this imp for a bit so I finally tried it this week in @cafebeermoth. It's a 10% chocolate coffee imp from the amazing guys from @beakbrewery using lovely coffee from @hardlinescoffee . And god damm it's absolutely stunning 😍, the pour was incredibly smooth thick, the smell just incredible, the first taste sent me into stout heaven 😋. The coffee isn't to overpowering which is great, the rich dark chocolate with its incredible sweetness is amazing. Lovely hints of peach orange as well. This was just ridiculously delicious 😋 for today's stout Sunday. #beakbrewery #hardlinescoffee #percolate #stoutsunday #imperialstout by @craftguysi

Something rather different today it's a style of beer I have never heard of before it's a rare style called yorkshire stingo only made in certain parts of Yorkshire, so @northernmonk made a version of it for Yorkshire day with @hazeoutdoors and @fawcettmaltofficial ,it's a 8% strong ale, and it's pretty damm tasty 😋. Lots of lovely biscuity malts and burnt toffee caramel note's coming through amazingly well nice hints of vanilla as well. It's a great collaboration and very interesting different beer but really tasty 😋 👌 👍 . #northenmonk #hazeoutdoors #fawcettmaltofficial #thenorthenpilgrimage #yorkshirestingo by @craftguysi

The latest in the dreaming of single hop beer's for today's @trackbrewingco beer Tuesday. And it's another one of the nectaron beer's they brought out a few weeks ago . As expected it's tasting absolutely superb 👌 👏. You get that fantastic dankness and big stone fruits bursting though amazingly well. Great body depth as always with tracks beer's, just a damm good ddh ipa. #trackbrewingco #trackbeertuesday #dreamingofddhnectaronipa #ddhipa #ipa by @craftguysi
