??? is it? a couple of breweries and the many options available across many pubs. in some you cant get away from heavily hopped IPAs that seem to be called craft beer.

it is rather nice. smaller production than many commercial craft beers.

maybe start brewing their own in the basement :cheers:

the snobery is odd. many of the "craft" US beers we see in the supermarkets has long been owned by large corporates. there is an assumption that as soon as a company is taken over, the accountants will cut costs, and therefore quality/flavour. it might happen, at least try first? Camden Town...

yes, its like they have some objection to yeast dieing. :lolol:

pasteurisation i believe.

fancy they may have misjudged that one. Pankhurst IPA might have been a better name.

beard beer is so very wrong. yeast is such an important part of brewing, cant just through in any rubbish.

we drink copious amounts of lager in the UK, far more than ale i believe, yet they are all foreign brands and all using foreign hops. one barrier to getting more onto ale is the different hop pallete between germanic lagers and English ales (and you know i have nothing against german lager) it...

think its inevitable, anyway its about time we had an English lager brand, seeing as we drink so much of the stuff, this would be a good one to grow. SABMiller own Pilsner Urqell to no bad affect im aware of, and have brought their cask lager to London town (keep missing it though)

i dont suppose quite the same as Harvey's fare is cask ale and not kegged. i've not seen it filled, but theres a air expressing widget in the lid so i imagine its good for a day or two. and let be serious, who's going to be testing "six weeks freshness"? be lucky to see 6 hours if its a beer...

Harvey's have been selling a few pints in a takeaway bottle for years (though not sure what they call it). i don't know why we have to import these americanisms, as if they just invented ales.

they did to great effect. however, until Harvey's start supplying supermarkets, one has to go with what is presented to one in the aisle. i've become quite partial to the Speckled Hen, especially with fish and chips.

this would be the "man in the box" brewery, surprising number of them found in London, i know of The Angel on the Bermondsey riverfront (literally, it hangs over the edge) and the Cittie of York near Chancery Lane, which is worth a visit for anyone partial to pubs.

well it seems a rather redundant concern anyway, since the fructose would be consumed by the fermentation process. same applies to GMO corn or sugar filler now i think about it.

seems to be mainly concerned with GMO sourced ingredients. odd they made an issue about "fish bladder" in Guiness, reckon the author isnt aware Isinglass is pretty common in ales and i would be surprised if it turned up in many of the recommended "gmo free" listed beers.

reckon he must be refering to Dark Star Seville...:lolol: (i wanted to like that, but could get past the overwhelming resemblance to washing up liquid). He got a point, which i think i was making some time ago, that a lot of the craft ales follow a distinct template, loading up on a few...

is that a real thing someones trying to sell? why not call it porter, or is "IPA" so trendy now they can ignore the meaning of words :down:

this should be the only criteria, not whether it comes from a trendy brewery or not.

batches so small they dont use alot of industrial kit. to be fair i dont know what your definition is, i assume semi-automated, computer controlled pipework, steelwork everywhere, kegging and bottling production lines whiring away, all housed in a dull controlled warehouse. nano or brewpub...
