Beer Tastin | Ep 6 Succulent Chinese Meal 6.5% New England IPA @sureshotbrew Bought from @fugglegolding I love a sure shot IPA, so I was looking forward to this! It looked the part. But when I tasted it, there was something peaking through which I couldn't put my finger on. It had a slight spice at the beginning, and then the fruit notes hit. It turns out that after looking into it, there were notes of five spice and green pepper. Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all. Just I wasn't expecting it. Would I buy one again. I'm not a 100% sure. Maybe a good beer to pair with food. Cheers Nate

Does anyone have a partner that when you offer them a taste of your food. They then decide that they want to eat it all. It is much more annoying when they have turned around and said they aren't hungry 🤣 I ordered this food because I wanted to eat it! Leave my food alone!

Thank you, everyone. The minions reel has now hit 1 million views and it is all down to you lot. So thank you for sharing, liking, saving and commenting on the post. I truly humbled and now need to think about getting more content out to you. If you have just started following me. Cheers!

HAPPY FACE! Do you want to see a happy face? Well bring me a beet and you will see the resting b*tch face disappear. Yep that is it. Just one beer.

At least there is beer in the fridge. I always find the beginning of the week a strange one. On your day off, so many brewery taprooms are closed. So what do I do? I go to the fridge and pick a beer out just to keep my taste buds going. God help me if the fridge has no beer in it 🤣

Beer Tasting | Ep 4 Baby Shark 4.8 Pale @verdantbrew Bought from @fugglegolding Now let me start by confessing it has been a long time since I did this with anything under 6%. So, I really didn't know what to expect from this beer. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. Tropical and zesty notes with the dankness I have come to expect from Verdant. Did I enjoy drinking it? Yes, I did. It didn't blow me away, and I don't know if I would go out and buy another. I would rather get a Whale Shark. But for those of you who love a pale. I would say try this. Cheers Nate

That one customer we all see. I have seen it plenty of times. A customer walks in a bar and has already decided that they know more than the person behind the bar. I mean, come on, give the person who has the training a chance. They have qualifications beyond looking at a few YouTube videos. They might be able to recommend a drink you absolutely love or food you have never thought of trying. Rant over. Give people a chance.

Leave my beer alone. Now I know I have touched on this before. But I get nervous when people come over and get a beer from the fridge. There are beers in there that I have been saving. What do you do? Take them out of the fridge and hide them? Do you have a separate fridge? Or do you just not let people help themselves? Would be great to hear what you do.

When you are working at home, the temptation is always there to go to the fridge and crack a beer open. Well, at least for me. I can hear the beer calling my name 😋. So, role on 5:30pm there is a beer with my name on it and it won't stop calling my name.

What's wrong with hitting the Imperial Stout straight off? I want to taste it and remember it. I can have a Lager as a palate cleanser, surely? I feel an Impy Stout really shouldn't be the nail in the coffin after a good drinking session. Who is with me?

Me and my friends eating out after a good session of drinking. Everyone knows you need to get something to eat of a good session on the beers. It helps soak up some of the beer. At least, that is what we like to tell ourselves. I like to find a little street food joint most of the time. Failing that I go for the classic donner kebab. What do you go for when you have had a few beers? #BeerFood #SoakUpTheBeer #StreetFood #BeerSession #OutWithMates #Possy #ShhImEating #MoreFoodPlease #Hungry #BeerGoggles #CraftBeet

Is it just me? Does anyone else for the strong stuff straight away when they go out day drinking? I love starting with a DIPA sometimes. Go big or go home, right? Well, sometimes, like I said. What is your go-to first beer? #DIPA #DayDrinking #Beer #CraftBeer #StrongBeer #HighABV #BeerPlease #CraftBeerNotCrapBeer

Beer Tasting / EP 3 Whale Shark @verdantbrew DIPA 8.4% Bought from @fugglegolding Even Sharks Need Water ramped up! Really enjoyed drinking this in the sun. All the tropical notes and the dankness you would expect. Great mouth feel and well worth buying! Have you tried this yet? Let everyone know what you thought of it in the comments. #CraftBeer #CraftBeerTasting #Beer #BeerTasting #Verdant #PintPlease

Street Food tasting / Ep 1 I went to JJ's Fish and Chip shop. To try their deep-fried pizza. It was a giant cheese and tomato pizza that had been battered. I didn't know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised, I have to say. A full one was a bit of a handful, so I would suggest buying half. Cheers Nate #StreetFood

Beer and Food pairing / Ep 1 So Coaster from @lakesbrewco won your vote on my stories to be paired with my smokey BBQ tacos. With jalapeños, crispy onions, and sour cream. Coaster New Zealand IPA 6.5% A beer, I bet Matt and the team are proud of it. Got those savoury notes along with some tropical notes. A very well-balanced beer if I say so myself. It went really well with my tacos, bringing out new flavours with every bite and sip. Thanks, everyone, for voting! Keep an eye out for the next vote in the stories. Cheers Nate #CraftBeer #LakesBrewCo #BeerandFood #BeerPairing #StreetFood #Tacos #NZIPA

So, the majority of you asked to see the hotdog video. Now the place we were staying had a hot counter. And one of the things you could buy was this. Not going to lie, I really enjoyed what I had. Though Grace ate most of it. Check it out and let me know what you think. #StreetFood #BeerandFood #CraftBeer #Food #FoodPairing #Scotland

Confession. I am not the best at explaining things. 😅 I know this as I can get a lot of blank looks when I am doing it. I don't claim to be an expert in anything. As I know, I can always learn. So I like to surround myself with people who know more than me. That is what I love about being on here. I follow some amazing accounts that help me learn. So here is to you! #CraftBeer #Learn #Beer

Beer Tasting Ep 2 Even Sharks Need Water IPA 6.5% @verdantbrew Bought from @fugglegolding I am not going to go too much into what this beer smells and tastes like. As so many of you will have had this beer so many times. But when @leeds_beer told me to find a beer, I thought it only right to have this after being at the beach. It's a super tropical beer with that delicious dank taste you only get from Verdant. Hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday 😀 Cheers Nate

I am always up to the challenge to convince my partner to let me buy some takeaway beers. Who else has this challenge?

I caved! I bought the Shark series from @verdantbrew So at least it is safe to go for a swim. As I have all the Sharks. Cheers Nate
