We're proud to have featured again with This Morning, showcasing with the best advent calendars you can buy for Advent this year!
This week we launch the range of Salt Beer Factory beers on the site and what better way to introduce a new brewery to our beer hunters than to have a good 'ole fashioned interview with Nadir Zairi, Director of the Yorkshire based brewery in Saltaire.
There are signs that Non-Alcoholic beer is hitting the mainstream and is poised to hit the big time, but just how popular will it become? In this article I’ll look at some of the signs that show ‘NOLO’ (non or low alcoholic) beer is becoming a serious player in our industry, and how its development might progress in the UK.
After trying out our very own World Beers mixed case for a beer tasting party, Christie Day, Brand Expert at money-saving website Savoo shares her tips for hosting a top beer tasting night on a budget.
Ask someone down the pub for the reasons behind Britain’s recent Beer revival, and you’re guaranteed all sorts of different explanations. In 2017 the number of UK breweries passed the 2000 mark, which puts us well ahead of European neighbours. Most will have a reasonable argument for why, but you can bet your double-dry hopped DIPA that very few of them would mention Gordon Brown, ex-PM and former Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Born To Die 17.03.2017 – first tasting Born to Die is back. Back with its ravishing hop bitterness, bone dry character, and drink-by date This is a butterfly of a beer, short-lived and beautiful, yet it stings like a bee with its 100IBU hop bitterness and 9.5% alcohol hit. Born To Die 17.03.2017 is out now and needs to be drunk immediately to get the full smack of aroma from the heady mixture of Amarillo, Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra. The brewer’s say: "With increased strength and body we can throw even more hops at it than ever – Born to Die is a canvas for the flavours brought by Columbus, Amarillo, Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra. We raised the game to truly make Born to Die the juiciest, most resinous Double IPA available in the UK and it sings with lime, orange, pine and cut grass from the moment the bottle is opened. And being Born to Die, that moment should come as quickly as humanly possible – it is at its best the second

The moment it came through the door (literally!), our tasters were pouring it.
Here’s what they had to say about Born To Die 17.03.2017.
Patrick Gengler, Beer Sherpa, said: "My first Born To Die was in this time last year and it was one heck of an experience then. This year’s February iteration has similar characteristics to the first one I had but it is very different. Firstly, it’s got more alcohol, and seemingly more malt character in the beginning. The crazy thing about this version is the journey you take through the hops. It starts with fresh citrus fruits and by the time you swallow, it has turned to cedar and pine resin. The bitterness lingers on for a bit with the fruitiness creeping back in before you take another sip."
Gina Rounding, Media Manager, said:"A clear and pale golden appearance with a short-lived head. On the nose there is an initial sweet and fruity aroma with hints of citrus, followed with a crisp bitterness striking through. A smooth yet creamy texture with minimal carbonation. It tastes wonderfully crisp and fruity which leads to a striking, dry hoppy bitterness which lingers delightfully."
Dan Marsham, Digital Design Executive, said: "This was my first tasting of a Born To Die brew, and I found it to be very fruity on the nose with hints of mango and lychee. The taste started sweet and thick like a dessert wine, but finished with a dry, hoppy punch reminiscent of Brewdog’s Jack Hammer."
