Met up here for a tour of Birmingham with other like minded beer tourists. By good fortune it was the Aston Heritage weekend so the first 20 people who ordered lunch got it for free. We then got a tour of the pub and the cellar including some hands on spiling and tapping. Beautiful pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | | Unbelievable condition and the hops on this are perfect to my palate. |
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Many people give 5 stars on this site every week, but I will only give 5 stars if the beer is one of the best I've ever had. This was fantastic. The condition alone gives it a 5. But the hops, my god the hops. Beautiful. The hops are a variety of Simcoe created by Sierra Nevada in the States and gives a sauvignon blanc, gooseberry, cats pee, yellow grapefruit aroma and flavour. Best beer I had all day, all week, all month. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Gorgeous light and drinkable |
| Oakham - Tranquility | 6.50 | | Bit of earth, lots of tangerine, you can taste the alcohol in this. |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | Not Tried | Had some in the cellar, very tart. |
