I'll have to take your word for it. Doesn't sound like a good beer but I can't say that not having the opportunity to try it.

Craft beers are fun to try! Is it real hoppy?

It certainly is, lots of new small breweries are opening so their beer has to be good to compete.
Look for the %vol on the label. The higher the %vol the stronger the beerIs 5% alcohol strong or weak?

This acronym stands for “alcohol by volume.” The higher the number, the more booze is in the drink. So a beer with an ABV of 5% has five percent alcohol by volume. That may not seem like a lot, but it's actually pretty strong. In fact, most beers hover around the 4%vol; or 5%vol; mark. But some go quite a lot higher and will cost more.
Here in in England we can buy good craft ales for £2 too £3 for 500 ml bottles/.

Try some and let me know how you got on with them, please. You will mot be disappointed. It's not a bit like the beer Budwieser our that type of beer is is proper ale.

Don’t be put off by the often quirky names for craft beers. We have a craft beer brewery near to us that originated in a disused coffin makers shop. Inevitably one of their beers is called ‘Coffin’ with the image of one on the label.

Hiya Graham,
Yes I tried it a while back, suffice to say, I've tried it again several times since.

It's good to have you back here again.

You might be surprised Graham. Last time I was there (2011 - 3 month 15,000 mile tour) we found quite a few medium sized breweries (my favourite was the MOAB brewery) and many smaller ones producing some excellent fare.

In fact, they're getting so good at it they our local brewery has produced several development brews recently that have taken a U.S. influence into consideration.

But when it's 40°c+ and desert dry I found out why many Americans like Budweiser and the like.

Most folks here in the U.S. don't know what Yorkshire Pudding is. My dad was from Liverpool so I grew up having Yorkshire Pudding every time we had a rib roast. The term "Bubble and Squeak" is another one. The food is fairly common but the term is mostly unknown here.

With that said, here's a brew from Utah. For those who are from "Across the Pond" Utah is our Mormon state.

I guess it's my English heritage but I grew up with Yorkshire Pudding as a side to my Mother's Sunday rib roast so I'm more than familiar with it. Maybe a few more Americans would understand what it is if you told them Yorkshire Pudding is basically a popover cooked in the roast's juices. Anyway, Yorkshire Pudding is basically flour, eggs and butter so as a carbohydrate source it should work in beer brewing.

BTW it's a treat to see your logo. My favorite tee shirt was the rainbow foot (and the skull & roses) I wore to many a concert.

They are indeed far more tasty than the boring draught beers. Also, the 'strong' craft ales are 'strong'.
Try them and enjoy them the folks who have not tried them so far. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Graham, always enjoy your posts. I too am a fan of craft beers. I’ve sampled over 1600 different. It’s a fun and relatively inexpensive hobby. My beer of choice is a Double IPA, but also enjoy a good stout on occasion. If you are interested there is a fun app for keeping track of your beers, seeing what others are drinking and what is available. If you’re “of a mind”. Look me up some time. Loren Wilber

What’s the name of the App you mentioned? I’d like to check it out.
