Stu G is drinking a Thunderstorms Inside by RaR Brewing at Untappd at Home
These latest RaR’s haven’t quite done it for me. All taste like almost pasteurised versions of the vivid, assertive beers from earlier in the year. It’s still enjoyable but when you know what they’re capable of, it’s laced full of what might have been.
Stu G is drinking a Stalking Prey by Fidens Brewing Co. at Untappd at Home
Messed up my pour (nice reminder for all you up & comers out there that even the greats err occasionally haha). One of Fidens’ better recent galaxy efforts. Evil G still lingers but nowhere near enough to defeat what is otherwise a soft, fluffy treat.
Stu G is drinking a QDH Weka by Fidens Brewing Co. at Untappd at Home
Another quality IPA from a Fidens who are absolutely flying right now. The Weka series is one of the best expressions of Motueka going and, if I have one (small!) criticism, it’s that the QDH perhaps muffles the lush, creamy tropics a tiny bit.

Stu G is drinking a Jabber Time by Shelton Brewing at Untappd at Home
Really enjoying the latest batch of Shelton’s. For something under 8%, it holds itself together incredibly well. There’s some proper chew on this that you usually only get on DIPAs+. Flavours are well-hopped and enduring. Ideal Sunday afternoon sipper.

Not sure what to make of Lolev so far but I enjoyed this. As Jan M. noted in another review, this latest batch is more malt-heavy than the hop forward work from earlier in the year but it works well here. It’s heavy, soulful brewing. Enjoyable nightcap.
