in BEERlast year

Quelle Surprise

​Well, would you look at that, beer Saturday and not a pint or a can of Guinness to be seen. This week, I'm back with a refreshing IPA for a change.

Yep, you guessed it, It's Saturday again folks meaning that a few like-minded beer enthusiasts under the expert stewardship of the main man @detlev share some beers of the world. You might even get a story, a joke, a rundown of a great night out or an even better night in, just check out the #beersaturday tag.

Tuesdays and Saturdays are my two favourite days on Hive, Tuesday for #ThreeTuneTuesday and all of the great music we are spoiled with and Saturday for having a few well earned brews.

Sometimes when my wife is doing the grocery shopping, she surprises me with a sampling of random IPAs especially if they're ones she hasn't seen me drink before. That can be hit or miss, as you do end up with the occasional can of piss. However you can also unearth some gems.

This week she brought home a few Sailor Sam Hazy IPAs. Will they be piss or gem? Read on to find out.

Introducing Sailor Sam Hazy IPA

So I hadn't heard of this one until it arrived home with herself. It lived in the fridge for a gew weeks, as when I did have a drink, it was usually Guinness over recent weeks, but this weekend after the work week was done and the kids were in bed I enjoyed a few of these.

They were decent enough, with decent mouth feel, aroma and decent lacing on the pour. It's a beer I would drink again.

Can Art

One thing I love about craft beers is the can art, you get some super funky designs on the cans. The can art here is only OK, but it did get the Loco lick of approval!

Yes, you heard me right, we now have a dog called Coco and a dog called Loco. Last week we had two Cocos, one was a rescue dog, so we had ro change her name, as two Cocos would have gotten a tad confusing for all involved! At least the name is very similar so she should eventually learn it as her name.

Loco? Eeek...It's to be hoped she won't live up to her name!

Ha ha, she's an absolute rascal, but has the most adorable underbite and it's impossible to be cross with her if she acts the maggot!

My husband got me into IPA they are so refreshing 😋
I dig the design on this one, and Loco approves, so that's a winner!

Ha ha, yep Loco gave it the official nod of approval. IPAs are lovely, you drink them for the nice flavours and standard beers get a bit boring in comparison

Hipstersailor :D stylish :)

Ha ha, ya was not too bad now all things considered.

I would be tempted to try that one due solely to the can art.

My birthday was earlier this month and my daughter gifted me with a box of about 24 random beer, ranging from hazy IPAs to chocolate stouts. Last year there was a banana bread beer which was surprisingly great! I'm going to need to start digging in, soon.

Nice present that! Happy days or even Hoppy days!

It's a great present, to the point I was even selfish this year and reminded her that I was looking forward to it! Some of the beers are great, but some are... not so much. It's a rarity I find myself dumping one down the sink, anyway.
