Calling shenanigans on Gage Roads

By beerisyourfriend on January 27, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )

Right, I’m calling shenanigans on Gage Roads. More specifically, the shenanigans are directed at their limited release series. There have been two so far. The first was The Convict, an Australian strong […]

The beer’s better than the advertising

By beerisyourfriend on January 26, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )

Sometimes I just don’t get beer advertising. At all. Especially when it’s linked to a tasty beer that already sells itself. Take the guy the above video. He’s the ‘‘Beer Pilgrim’’ – […]

What The F..k Are You Waiting For? – Day Three

By beerisyourfriend on January 21, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

The last time I tried Robinsons Old Tom English strong ale I was rather unimpressed. I certainly didn’t think it lived up to the boast on the neck label – “world’s best […]
