I can't believe it slipped my mind that I've been working here at @BreweryForest for over 2 years now! There's been some big changes in that time, we've got a whole new bar, a new outside seating area, and have started getting local food trucks in for events! Onwards and upwards!

Anyone using Untapped?

Cherry Chouffe on tap at Thirsty Pines in Gloucester! Christmas heaven in a glass! One of the best Belgian beers I've ever had

Another from The Thirsty Pines in Gloucester, a delicious glass of Chimay. Such a pleasure having a bar in Gloucester with this range of fantastic beers

A splendid trip to Thirsty Pines in Gloucester yielded a wonderful glass of Cornet Oaked. This beautiful Belgian blond uses oak.chips in the fermentation process, rather than being aged in an oak barrel

An excellent cider from Gwynt Y Ddraig! This is the award-winning Black Dragon cider from Wales! This medium-dry sparkling cider is a real favourite of mine

Well, I'm back with a list of drinks so long most pubs could only dream of stocking what I've got to share! Starting fairly pedestrian though with a familiar beer from Badger Brewery. This is Master Stoat, their 5% coffee stout. A nice well-rounded, easy-drinking dark beer

Sunny weather calls for a cider! What better than a bottle of Ross Ciders Raison D'Être. An incredible cider with some deep complex flavours from oak cask aging. Just as usual, another fantastic cider from Ross!

Just a chill one last night with a little can of Neck Oil by @BeavertownBeer A 4.3% session IPA. A little unremarkable but a decent enough beer after a hard day's work

Back before their recent beer festival, an evening jaunt to The Pelican Inn in Gloucester resulted in a delicious pint of Flapdoodle. A 4.3% coconut and maple milk stout from Stealth Brew Co. Milk stouts on cask are always delicious, and this is no exception

Another short break from socials, and I'm back. This was a pint of Pacific Pale Ale from Brentwood Brewing Co at The Doghouse in Coleford. A nice crisp, refreshing pale on cask

Another trip to The Doghouse in Coleford and a pint of Rapture by Fat Head Brewery. A smashing 5% ESB, a really bang on beer!

What better place to spend my weekend? In the Doghouse in Coleford drinking @Loddonbrewery Hocus Pocus on cask! A proper nice 4.6% dark amber old ale

Another pint down at The Ostrich Inn at Newland in the Forest of Dean. Otter Brewery's lovely 3.6% Otter Bitter. A cracking traditional bitter ale, clear, clean, and easy drinking. It's always a top pint and on top form here

This is probably the best beer I've had from Northern Monk! A collaboration with Toast Brewing, this is their 8.4% Peanut Butter & Jam Stout. Absolutely loaded with peanut butter and packed with sweet jam. Smells beautiful, but wasn't as thick as I was expecting. Cracking beer!

We had a lovely new beer on over the last couple of weeks at the taproom. This is Bristol Beer Factory's Espresso Martini Stout. 4.5%, subtle coffee, a touch of sweetness, and incredibly drinkable. A great alternative to their Milk Stout

After a temporary break to reset and recharge, I've dropped back in with this delicious Barrel Aged Birthday Barley Wine from Three Hills Brewing. Boozy and packed with notes of sweet raisins and an intense rich bitter aftertaste. Very Christmas cakey, perfect!

This was my first time trying a Vietnamese beer. This is Sapporo Premium Black. A nice, strong smell of chocolate, with subtle notes of stone fruit. A massively malty 5% beer in a really cool can! Very enjoyable!
