Ben Howe is drinking a Bludolph by Blue Monkey Brewery at The Organ Grinder
Me & the Mrs went out for a long New Year’s walk to the OG, so I thought I would be helpful & help them get through their “Crimbo” beers before the end of January! Apparently it’s made with real reindeers extract, but I’m only tasting hopping overtones.

Ben Howe is drinking a Chocolate Porter by Marks & Spencer at Untappd at Home
Happy New Year. I love an M&S beer, especially at the bargain price of £2.01! But I have bitten off more than I can chew with this rich & indulgent choco-porter, it’s so rich. I’ve have a few slices of salted belly pork to counteract the XL flavours!

Ben Howe is drinking a Snowflake by Black Sheep at Untappd at Home
I thought I found my perfect beer, I’m the black sheep of the family and a right wing hating “snowflake” but this beers on the reform side, blue, light bodied and full of shite. It’s got Yorkshire water in it but it tastes like hoppy council juice.

Ben Howe is drinking a Metropolis DDH Pale by Two By Two Brewing at The Wheeltapper
Anyway after a cheap beer in the Swan the Mrs can just about afford a exceptionally well kept beer from my favourite landlord Pete. What can I say, if you know, you know & I love the fact it keeps the Camra members away! So more for me! It’s a hazy Jane

It’s International Women’s day tomorrow & it’s Woman history’s month! Even if the OG is a sausage fest, full of post grad’s “Gandal” lookalikes & pervy old men! This Hazy Jane is a purple punch to my taste buds & well balanced & taking no half measures!!
