Ye fancy the old Brewferm stuff then, mate? :wink:

Honestly; One of these days I'll trip Shane and Olga up by ordering at least one different kit with my monthly order. Probably Still get six kits of Coopers Stout though, because they must be filling my box on auto pilot by now! :mrgreen:

Really do fancy a Cerveza. Just that I fancy not feeling it's a bit bloody nippy, after 18:00 as well!

I'm just a stick in the mud. I like my stout and that's that. 'If it ain't broke', I guess? Wish I had it in me to break away and Try something else, just for a change, though.

Who makes that, Milmg ....?

In fact, maybe this exposes my 'weakness'; I'm pretty loath to trust brit kits. I like my reliable Coopers stuff.

Cooper's stout is good, as you very well know ..... trust me, I know beer, Colne Valley is better. 2 can,( if you can call it a "kit") , no sugar to add, straight from a brewery, with hops in a bag, follow the instructions, I could have drunk it all straight from the FV... and they say it gets better ? WOW

I think I will permanently have one of theirs on the go, it's that good. I went to my local last night and had 4 different guest ales, and none were as good, and it's not even ready yet !!!

Brupaks, eh? Heh! Interesting. Because, if ye knew me anything like as well as ye profess to know beer, ye'd already know that this is the One firm ~ aside from Coopers ~ I've always held in regard. Simply on the basis that I've never yet heard anything But high praise for their gear.

Indeed; Were I to stray? I reckon Brupaks are about my only option. Bruferm get a resounding press too. I'm jut not really into their sort of things.

Anyway, ye patently Don't know me. Because ye suggested a Bitter. I haven't chosen a bitter in decades. But, it's a righteous nudge in the right direction, I'll grant ye that. I mused what else I might try. You're straight in with the hard sell on the One outfit I'd consider.

And, maybe, consider I will? Might consider their Scammonden Dark? (Though Coopers do what I recall to be a good Dark) Almondbury Old caught my eye. Purported fact that youngsters like it sort of had me walking straight back out that door though .....

Anyway ....! Much more of this and I'll be ripping open my shirt to reveal my Semtex waistcoat! Screaming, " Fly This Thread To Cuba! " :roll: How did this come about?

I do enjoy Belgian beers and had many one trip to Brugges about 10 years ago! I know they take an age to come good so its future stock management! :D

I can imagine their faces when 'something different' slips its way into your order! :D They will probably ring you up to ask you to confirm your order!

You should go for it! :D

Ta pal!

Ha! thats the lure of free postage over 49 quid! Once you order a few kits and you see that goal within reach you go for it! Its daft really as you dont want to pay that 5 - 7 quid but you will pay for another 20 quids worth of kits!! :mrgreen: Heehee!

Super service too, I ordered the stuff at 2pm Friday and it got dispatched that day at 5pm! Should be with me tomorrow! :mrgreen:

Ditch you trust coopers right? their mexican aint a bad drop with lme/BS 50/50
Since coming to this forum i tend to almost exclusively use coopers one way or another. Their draught lends itself very well to messing about with and their Dark is the nuts for non stoutees
COME ON MATE YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!! and probably get it free for services to humanity 'cos of the masterclass!! :D
Just like trying new ideas!
