When I first read that the Das Helles German style lager from Batch Brewing weighed in at a hefty 5.5% I was a little apprehensive that the alcohol content may dominate the flavour. That most certainly isn’t the case and this is one of my favourite beers going around. It’s so smooth and creamy without…

If I called Ironbridge Brewing Company’s A Fistful of Barley Pale Ale an entry level Pale Ale would you know what I mean? It’s pretty tame on flavour but gives you a stepping stone onto the hard stuff. That sounds like I’m trying to get you hooked on some serious gear, but it’s a pale ale,…
