International Rainbow Project 2016 @ Magic Rock Tap, Huddersfield

International Rainbow Project 2016 @ Magic Rock Tap

The fourth annual Rainbow Project was held in September. An event where seven of the UK’s best breweries design a beer inspired by a colour of the rainbow. 2014 saw the breweries collaborate with European friends. It’s where the now infamous Buxton/Omnipollo partnership was first established. While in 2015 the British breweries were joined by American counterparts. This year it ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… SEPTEMBER 2016

The Best Beer I Drank In...

Summer may be over now but it definitely wasn’t in September. Even in Scotland! Last months best beers mostly came from visits to Leeds Beer Festival, the 2016 Rainbow Project launch at Magic Rock Tap and a week in Scotland (Edinburgh and Aberdeen). All three trips featured amazing super sunny weather to match the beers. Almanac Beer Company – Farmer’s Reserve Citrus ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… AUGUST 2016

The Best Beer I Drank In...

I don’t know if I was tired for the whole of August, but I seem to have drank a lot of coffee beers. And five of them have made this list of best beers I drank last month. They’re all very different though, you’d never even guess one of them tasted of coffee by looking at it. There’s a couple of choices that ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… JUNE 2016

The Best Beer I Drank In...

After the madness of the previous few months June was actually fairly sensible. Well, by recent standards anyway. There were still lots of great beers drunk, of course. Most either at home or out in Manchester and a trip to Huddersfield. Here’s the pick of them… Great Divide Brewing Company – Old Ruffian (10.27% / Bottle @ BrewDog, Manchester) It seems like ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… APRIL 2016

The Best Beer I Drank In...

Partly because I had so many beers to sort through. April was a particularly hectic month and involved a lot of amazing beer. My birthday weekend, Magic Rock’s Un-Human Cannonball launch event and trips to London and Aberdeen for BrewDog’s AGM. But also because I’ve been busy so drinking even more beer in May. First at Cantillon in Belgium and then CBC in Copenhagen, but more ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… NOVEMBER 2015

The Best Beer I Drank In...

After a ridiculous beer filled October I planned on taking it easy in November, expecting a quiet month before the Christmas madness began. But it didn’t quite turn out that way; with several visits to the likes of BrewDog, Port Street and Magic Rock Tap along with some stunning bottles, both at home and at a bottle share with a bunch ...

The Rainbow Project 2015 – Northern Launch @ Magic Rock Tap, Huddersfield

Rainbow Project Launch @ Magic Rock Tap, Huddersfield

The Rainbow Project began in 2013 when seven of the UK’s best breweries each brewed a beer inspired by a colour of the rainbow. In 2014 the UK breweries were paired with a European counterpart to create a collaboration rainbow beer, while this year saw them each paired with a top US brewery. I missed it completely the first time around ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… AUGUST 2015

The Best Beer I Drank In...

It’s not been easy coming up with a shortlist for this regular ‘best beers’ post in previous months but this time has been particularly difficult. With another trip to Magic Rock Tap and the fabulous Grove pub in Huddersfield as well as a takeover by Swedish brewery Omnipollo at the equally excellent Buxton Tap House and finding an amazing craft beer bar whilst ...

The Best Beers I Drank In… JULY 2015

The Best Beer I Drank In...

Following on from last months inaugural ‘The Best Beers I Drank In… JUNE 2015‘ here’s the next in the ongoing series. July was another great month with trips to Huddersfield to the new Magic Rock Tap and Leeds, including new BrewDog venture ShuffleDog and my second visit to Northern Monk Refectory. I also got through a lot of fantastic bottles ...
