BrewDog prototypes

Last month, I bought a few cases of the new Brewdog prototype ales. They are trying four beers out for next year's core range. The four beers are Blitz! A 2.8% west coast hoppy beer, tastes like a stronger strength IPA, pleasant and my choice as Brewdog need a core low strength beer. Then there is Prototype 17 which was meant to be an IPA with raspberry, I hear the old version was very raspberry-ey. This version wasn't, it was hoppy as you'd expect from Brewdog, very nice but minimal raspberryness. The one with the best name was Hops Kill Nazis. Red ale but mega hopped, nicely odd, the caramelliness mixed with the pineage. Then there was Scotch Ale, very deep in flavour, oats with dark fruits and a whisky edge.

All in all very good, Blitz gets my vote!

Cask Corner

So then chap and chapettes. Just come back from a trip to Cask Corner in my home town of Doncaster (exotic). The place is great for beer lovers, 10 Hand pulls, 3 real ciders ans one lager (Peromi). The place is great all the furniture is from charity shop and it feels very home-y if you get what I mean. Was there for  a good friend's Birhday. We go all the time there and the Plough are the best pubs in Doncaster I think. There was a band on so unfortunately we couldn't hear a word of what eachother was saying .

Fantastic place if anyone wants to go. Also 25% off cask ale with a CAMRA card, so it tends to be around £2 a pint.
