I have nothing but respect for those guys and frankly, for my sins, I've never been to North bar. Something I intend to rectify in 2012.<br />Andy - Yep the Kernel BIPA was based on the Back to Black. The point about Supermarket is mainly that there are so many of these 'express' style ones popping up in London and not one of my local ones stock any decent craft beer! <br />Matt - completely agree with your last point there mate. and 15 years in June? nice one, seems like the perfect time to visit!rabidbarflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287790634237896071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-50833709447406592162011-12-10T05:15:15.035+00:002011-12-10T05:15:15.035+00:00BIG up Aldi - where oktoberfest happens in March -...BIG up Aldi - where oktoberfest happens in March - gerrin!<br /><br />@captcheerful 15 years come July2012 almost old enough to drink!<br /><br />It's rocking for all of us tho - big things on the way, we should take a leaf out of ABF's book and run a mad bar next August...Matt Goreckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406279263827019052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-48271221556218206122011-12-10T01:23:49.912+00:002011-12-10T01:23:49.912+00:00Take you seriously, you must be kidding!!!Take you seriously, you must be kidding!!!BeerReviewsAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549567405003804994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-23038254960880063452011-12-10T00:16:08.139+00:002011-12-10T00:16:08.139+00:00The North has been well ahead of the game when it ...The North has been well ahead of the game when it comes to beer - London's still playing catch up.

The M...Matches my view across many categories Glyn. The Magic Rock branding and labels is as good as any I've seen. I especially love the Human Cannonball keg pump clip with the metallic detail. <br /><br />Having had the privilege of visiting Russian River this year, I'm made up that you've voted their sours in 1st place as they are all fucking fantastic. We also called in at 21st Amendment and loved the place. I remember the Kernel Black IPA launch and hearing you explain how the recipe was based on Back to Black (if memory serves).<br /><br />The last point I totally get in this post is the supermarket point. Yes I can buy Brewdog and other fantastic craft beers in my local Tescoburys, mostly at a loss to these breweries but why should I when I can enjoy a perfectly conditioned pint in town and support decent pubs. I understand the role they fulfil in promoting the beers but in terms of the overall industry they bring very little long-termism (I know that's not a word).<br /><br />All in all, a great post Glyn.
