Looking forward to 'baron rating' some AlesByMail ales soon!

A couple of weeks ago I tweeted saying how much I was loving the National Trust (Westerham) Viceroy IPA [baron rating 5/5] which was part of my #beerswap pack from Mark Dredge. Later that evening Paul from AlesByMail got in touch wondering if I would like to try the rest of the Westerham ales range - well have you ever heard the Baron say "no"? ;)

The beers arrived today but Paul was extremely generous and not only included the Westerham Brewery range but also the Elmtree Beers, Green Room Ales & Oxfordshire Ales ranges as well!

AlesByMail sell a large range of British real ales as well as selling top-quality, outdoor-reared pork sausages, delivered fresh to your door. Beer & meat - do you need anything else? (don't answer that one please!)

First half of the latest myBrewerytap "52 week beer club" pack

Having thoroughly enjoyed the first pack from myBrewerytap, Chris & I were eagerly awaiting the next quarter's arrival, knowing that it contained quite a few 'beauties'.  Here are our reviews for the beers that we sample this Wednesday:

• Box Steam Cog [baron rating 4/5]

• Crown Unpronounceable IPA [baron rating 5/5]

• Fyne Avalanche [baron rating 5/5]

• Green Roon Icon [baron rating 1/5]

• Thornbridge Jaipur [baron rating 5/5]

• White Heart of Rother [baron rating 3/5]

• Williams Bros Ginger [baron rating coming soon from my ginger ale advisor]

It was a wonderful selection, and as you can see, most of the ales were of great quality! If you are not already a member of the "52 week beer club" I would suggest you sign up!

Green Room Icon

Green Room Icon [baron rating 1/5] - 4% golden ale, faint citrus aroma, bland watery slightly limy taste, no finish to speak of - terrible!

Listen to what Chris and the Baron have to say about it.

(Sorry about the lack of ale in the photo, we completely forgot to take pictures as we drank it!)
