Stu G: Quite literally turning out the lights at the old gaff!

Jan Mela is drinking a Double Pyjamas by Time & Tide Brewing at Untappd at Home
Final beer at the old gaff is a fitting send-off! This is the best UK beer this year, no one else is brewing like this right now, just raw hop aggression. Remarkable that their stuff keeps this well for this long too!

Jan Mela is drinking an ALLEN by Verdant Brewing Co at Untappd at Home
Purchased out of morbid curiosity more than any expectation, surprisingly it's actually pretty good. Has some decent body and creaminess that Verdant haven't done for a while, like Sharks the flavours are also sufficiently punchy

Jan Mela is drinking an Even Sharks Need Water (ESNW) by Verdant Brewing Co at Untappd at Home
Thickness can't touch the original versions but flavours here are actually very nice - if this is what Verdant are now I'll begrudgingly take it vs what some of their peers have become


Jan Mela is drinking a Catch the Light by Track Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
Pretty good Track gold top - good amount of body, soft maybe a bit muted flavours, not too sweet as these sometime are. Lighting is bad - it looks better than the pic!


Jan Mela is drinking a PuTTTy (2025) by Verdant Brewing Co at Untappd at Home
Kept a can back to see if that slightly rough finish mellowed out - it has, but it's also gone quite sweet which is unwelcome. Still decent, but the score takes a big hit Vs fresh
Stu G: Farewell Carnarvon, the scene of some great tastings over the years. Rest assured, the first beers at the new yard tomorrow will toast a bright future!
