The rain, it raineth every day
Never heard of this before : Breweries bringing their own beers and taking over the pub for the night. In this case, Kirkstall brewery at the Denbigh Castle in Liverpool.

Well, after seeing some of the sky high ABV's I'm bringing the thread down with a bump having just enjoyed Peroni Red the other night. A decent 4.7% and pretty decent as well, despite the Red part. Found in Majestic wine's. They also have a great range of the German beers that are North of 5%.
No Rest For Dancers is back, lovely red ale.
Takeovers are a big thing down here, had some excellent sessions....
Craft Tap Room - now Black Cat - on Smithdown have done it a few times and even added an additional layer of having two breweries competing.
They do one call Paulaner which is German and 4.9 I think. Very nice indeed. Costco also had it recently on offer too.

Great to see loads of young hipsters, my son included 23 YO, swerving lagers, for IPA and bitters.

Yeah, same here and the brewers tend to come along too. Good fun
A new brewery from your end are coming here soon actually, Newtown Park. Not had anything of theirs
A good beer and testament to the purity laws as the next day it doesn't ruin your head as much as weaker ales from over here.
@Bluesaint admittedly I'm not the biggest lager drinker, but I agree that Peroni Red is a very clean, drinkable lager. Their typical stuff is dire.
Brewery scene is nuts here at the moment, I've never even heard of these guys and they're just a half hour walk away, and I'm pretty on top things!
Went to Georgia (the European one) recently and came across this local IPA.
Great after a long day's walking up in the hills.

Bayou- Big Bog Brewery ( 5%)
Very nice, like a sweeter version of traditional bitter. Sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it does.
Had quite a few and no hangover either, which is usually the sign of a decent beer.

A bit late but only just reading this. I have some experience with buying Westvleteren XII. It may be useful. I still have some of these in basement. Will drink them this Christmastime.
The online sale system is only available in Belgium. Don't bother.
Easiest way to get it, is to go into the bar across the street. There you can buy nice looking six-packs with the official glass. Price per bottle is about 3.8 quid.
Of course, you could just drink the widely available St Bernardus Abt 12, identical recipe different yeast.
The brewery has an excellent bar by the way, just 5 miles from West Vleteren. It's not far from Ypres. Hotspot for cycling fanatics in spring
By the way: don't keep these quadruples in the fridge, but in the basement. Let them warm a bit before drinking to get the full aroma.
They age beautifully. Keeping them in your basement for 2-3-4 years makes them even more worthwhile.
