Old Hooky is lovely. Brewed 3 miles from me.

Get involved.

One of the few remaining breweries that deliver by horse drawn dray (to pubs within 5miles of the brewery). The horses are also partial to the odd pint of Old Hooky!

It's a few years ago now but I went to their tap house, very convivial and also had live music.

Enjoying this.

Their mango and chilli sour is nice, though not quite enough heat for me.

Mango Inferno | Vault City | Mango Chilli Sour | Scotland | Brew Cavern

Mango Inferno. Looking for exciting flavour combinations is a priority of ours, and we think we've hit the nail on the head with this one. Vegan friendly.

The owner of Brew Cavern is a good mate of mine and where I got that King Henry from a year or so ago.

He is doing a great job but can you ask him to put a bit more habanero in his mango chilli sour, please

He just sells beers, doesn't brew many. Although he did help with this one:

Still Good News About The Chocolate Orange | Black Iris | Brew Cavern

Still, Good News About The Chocolate Orange. This big birthday stout was brewed back in Oct 2019 on Brew Cavern's 5th birthday. Vegan.

Black Sheep do a chocolate orange stout, it’s not brewed to that strength though.

Indeed, I have enjoyed it on a number of occasions

Had this in the Dispensary once, bloody lovely it was.

After months (literally) of debating with myself I took the plunge and got a perfect draft machine. Got it set up yesterday with some jupiler in so it could chill ready to try tonight and leffe blonde, goose island and dark arts stout in reserve.

Excited to give it a go later :pint2:

New drop from the gang at EB arrived today including 6 of this absolute corker. Clocks in at 7.2%, its a fantastic mix of sweet, dark, earthy malt and bitter hops to temper it. Fantastic beer.
