Darrell is drinking a Naranjito by Brooklyn Brewery at The Pavillion
Not as orangey as I would have liked. tastes more like a radler than an orange pale. But quite nice and refreshing.

Darrell is drinking a No Superficial Damage by Wylam at The Beer Engine
Fuck! Remember when I said Wylam were a bit good? And remember when I said the Lervig berry cheesecake stout was good? Yeah. Fuck Lervig!

Darrell is drinking an Advocate Salvation by Wylam at The Beer Engine
Its bloody good for 5.2% Friends have tried to convince me it's as good as the 7.1% Mirrors. Yeah... that's not happening.

Darrell is drinking a Tower of Snakes by Box Social Brewing at The Beer Engine
You see. This is #NotWylam. It may be a very good Newcastle brewery. And it is indeed a very nice beer. But its definitely #NotWylam.

Darrell is drinking a Chasing Mirrors Through A Haze by Wylam at The Beer Engine
Wylam are one of those breweries that are far better than you think. Had them many times & yet I'm still pleasantly surprised by this.

Darrell is drinking a Rodenbach Grand Cru by Brouwerij Rodenbach at The Shakespeare
Lets get this straight. This red sour beer has been aged for 2 YEARS to get this level of smoothness. And it is £5.70/pt. Fucking bargain!

Darrell is drinking a Marina by Wicked Weed Brewing at The Shakespeare
Quite sour and very winey. This is why we love beer. So many styles. You could give this to a wine lover and they would like it. I do too.

Darrell is drinking a Hop City DDH IPA (2019) by Northern Monk at The Shakespeare
Im from the North & usually is everything you need. But on this occasion the Rest of the World wins. Largely on account of this being poor

Darrell is drinking a Saskatoon Cheesecake Stout by LERVIG at The Shakespeare
Holy moly! I mean I expected this to be good. I like Lervig. I like cheesecake. And I like stout. But this should, frankly, be illegal.

Darrell is drinking a New & Improved! GBG by Stigbergets Bryggeri at The Shakespeare
Probably should have tried this before going to the dark side. Especially after having some good IPAs before. But fear not, it holds up well

Thuram T.: What do you think of this? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/travel/2019/mar/12/top-10-craft-beer-pubs-sheffield
Darrell: Yeah seen it. Jabeerwocky entry is an absolute joke. And Fat Cat is no good of you like craft beer. Plenty could have been included instead.
Thuram T.: I don’t often go to Sheffield in case I end up fronting a male striptease act, but I really should. It’s the Manchester of Yorkshire?
Darrell: Sadly its not. Leeds is the Manchester of Yorkshire. And if you're a craft beer lover then Leeds is better than Manchester. By a long shot.
Darrell: Sheffield is more of a cask beer place. But it does have its hidden gems.
Darrell is drinking an Oregon Fruit Series: Flat White Blueberry by Mikkeller at The Shakespeare
Id normally leave this till last but couldnt risk it running out! If you like coffee & blueberry this is every bit as good as you hope it is

Darrell is drinking a 65|03 - DDH IPA - No.3 by Brew By Numbers at Walkley Beer Co.
Another quality, bitter IPA. The Bermondsey mile really has to be on the to-do list at some point. Some cracking brewers in that area.

Darrell is drinking an India Pale Ale Idaho 7 by The Kernel Brewery at Walkley Beer Co.
Never even heard of this hop before. Does make me wonder what happened to 0-6... Not complaining tho as this is bloody nice. Bitter & fruity

Darrell is drinking a Kanchi by The London Beer Factory at Walkley Beer Co.
Walkley is like an Escher painting. Everywhere is uphill! Not good in the rain. Nice London tap takeover here tho. Mango chilli beer. Lovely

Thought I'd try more of the same. This time on keg and the newly opened Pour House. I actually think this is better. Sharper. More orangey.
