Including all the beer posts from willieswineblog.blogspot.ie. Monday, November 17, 2014. 8 Degrees Pale Ales. I have a curious relationship with 8 Degrees Pale ales. I never really. Since then, it appears that Amber Ella and Hurricane have been added to the rotation, hurray! Anyhoo, it was perfectly pleasant, a little light for my taste but fine and well balanced. Next up the contenders 8 Degrees. BB was tasting blind, I was not. Here are our tasting notes, verbatim. Howling Gale Pale Ale. BB: Harsher t...

Including all the beer posts from willieswineblog.blogspot.ie. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Summer (I)PAs and Other Revelations. I'll be honest. I've been back from hols for 2 weeks (today) and I haven't yet mustered up the enthusiasm to tweet about beer, let alone do a blog post. Jet lag/Insomnia was a factor for the first couple of days and I've had a rotten cold for the last week or so, but those are not really a good enough excuses and so I don't have one, as such. Thornbridge Halcyon Imperial IPA. Cloudy ...
