First session of the ‘Ale House Rock’ festival and the pub is predictably very busy. Around two-thirds of the festival beers are on, and quality seems very good whether from handpump or stillage. Too many to try and I’m mostly on halves tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Blackwater Kangaroo Court | 4.00 | | A really good, well-balanced, pale and hoppy beer. |
| Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - H.o.f.f. | 5.00 | | Another pale and hoppy beer, this one slightly harshly hopped with Stella and Cascade. It grew on me as the glass went down. |
| Revolutions - Unknown Pleasures | 4.50 | | A golden/amber beer, single-hopped with Glacier. Aromatic and tasty. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Puja | 6.70 | | A collaboration brew with Dark Star. Big and bold. Floral, a little sweet (Jasmine) and hints of orange. |
| Vale - Hopocalypse Vale | 4.30 | | Probably my favourite of the evening. A very nicely-rounded hoppy, golden beer. |
| Great Heck - Amish Mash | 4.70 | | An orange coloured, authentically cloudy wheat beer in the German style. Quite heavily hopped with US hops. Having tried a couple of hoppy wheat beers, I have to say that they do not really work for me. |
| Blue Bee - Bees Knees Bitter | 4.00 | | Murky brown in colour and very lively. Hop bitterness without much body. |
| Harwich Town - Phoenix APA | 5.00 | | I was looking forward to this one, and it certainly looked and smelt good – pale and clearly very hoppy. But the beer was spoilt with an infection-type taint that made it hard to judge its real qualities. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Red MacGregor | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - Raspberry Blonde | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Black Hole - Supernova | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Cumbrian Legendary - Loweswater Gold | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Czech Mate | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
