Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.
It's Saturday Monday night, but it's #beersaturday, and I had a beer with dinner on Saturday, just cba to write this post!!
A new beer for Beer Saturday
I was in Aldi on Saturday afternoon getting some messages!
I just sauntered past the beer aisle .... and saw this beer!
IRON FLUFFING BREW
Scotland's national drink is whisky but our other national drink is Irn Bru that orange soft drink made from girders...
So when I saw this Iron Brew, an alcoholic version I had to try it...
What is it with so many beers saying they are vegan friendly, why not say it is fluffing wet too!
Beer poured and yes it had that orangey colour... and it was sweet but not sickly sweet, yes it was an iron brew taste, not a Barrs Irn Bru the original taste, but a bloody good attempt by the brewers FIERCE BEER.
I have drunk a few of their beers now ....
I did say in the title Iron Brew and a Chinese, the Chinese being a Chinese takeway, which was pretty damn tasty too!
Talking of crackers, the beer and food were a pair of crackers!
I had to have the crab and sweetcorn soup with prawn crackers for a starter ...
Right that's all for me today!
Cheers!!!
The Beer ...
Fierce Beer Iron Brew Cooler is a unique, refreshing craft beverage from the Aberdeen-based brewery that pays a cheeky, sparkling tribute to "Scotland's other national drink."
The Style: It is a "Beer Cooler" brewed to be as light and dry as possible using pure Scottish water, pale malted barley, and just a very subtle hint of hops before the flavour is layered in.
The Taste: It is packed with that unmistakable, sweet, and nostalgic orange-coloured bubblegum and citrus profile of classic Iron Brew. It essentially tastes like an alcoholic version of the iconic soft drink.
Dietary Friendly: It is completely gluten-free (with the gluten safely removed post-fermentation) and vegan-friendly with no added sugar.
The Punch: It sits at a highly sessionable 4.5% ABV, making it a brilliant, crisp alternative to a standard lager or cider, especially for a summer celebration.
Words courtesy of Gemini... Yep I agree with it...
My Verdict
🍺 ☑️ Beer was great
🍔 ☑️ Chinese was great
Yep a pair of crackers!
Would have it instead of cider or lager especially in the afternoon sun!
