Looking forward to baron rating Stringers Yellow Lorry

I'm a massive fan of Stringer Brewery, I love their beers, I love their branding, I love the fact that it's just Jon & Becky bashing out top quality beer in Ulverston. They don't know how to brew a bad beer, or maybe they do and that's how come they brew such lovely ones...  Anyway they popped by the other day whilst they were on their way to CAMRA's Liverpool Beer Festival 2014, and very kindly dropped me off Yellow Lorry for review:

Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow...

Stringer Brewery

• Yellow Lorry - 4% pale ale, brewed with pale, crystal & wheat malts, hopped with Cascade, Summit, Galena & Centennial. Suggested food matches are firm sharp English cheese, burgers, curries & carrot cake(!)

Thank you to Jon & Becky (@StringersBeer) from Stringers for handing this over for a baron rating!

Looking forward to baron rating Sam Adams Winter Lager

Shepherd Neame brew some normal beers and some lovely beers but they also import and brew Samuel Adams beers from Boston. Sam Adams has a soft spot in my heart after living in Boston a number of years back and thoroughly enjoying their beer range. Sam Adams is now brewed here by Shepherd Neame (and tastes good but not the same) but they are also now able to import some of the more special seasonal brews.

Samuel Adams

• Winter Lager - 5.6% wheat bock subley spiced with fresh ground cinnamon, ginger & orange peel for a deep smooth flavour

Look out for baron ratings for these Shepherd Neame Brewery beers soon, and a big thank you to Moray (@ShepherdNeame) for sending them through for a baron rating!
