WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Was talking to the father last night. He mentioned he'll probably be getting the booze in for Christmas soon-ish, is there anything I'd prefer when I go back. We're both fans of various real ales, and began to wonder is there anywhere you can buy a crate of some? Otherwise its likely to be John Smiths as always. Last time I went to Makro (albeit about 18 months ago) I didn't see any. Are there any alcohol wholesalers in the North East that might sell it? I know Tesco sell 3 bottles for £4, but that would work out as being quite expensive. If anyone knows anywhere, It'd be much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The Cluny and the Head of Steam do the same thing. If you like a specific brewery, find their website. A lot of them let you order online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broony Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Mordue brewery in North Shields sell pollypins (Like a big wine box, 20 pints I think) or 5 pint barrels. Really nice local ales: http://www.morduebrewery.com/brewery/home_sales.php You can try them in most north east pubs. http://www.morduebrewery.com/pubs/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Just bought two 9 pint mini casks from Wylam Brewery's stall at the Christmas market in town. They didn't have any Rocket so made do with Angel. £16 a pop for anyone thats interested. Cropton Brewery also have a store there, although I don't know if they're selling casks.

Mowen Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Brewed some of my own in the 4th year at uni (house effort really but I'll claim most of the credit). It was...interesting. Think we left it in too long and it got a bit strong, tasted like it must have been 6 or 7 percent. A little bit funky tasting / reactive with the gut but overall fantastic. Quite a good project to have on the go, the first time will be expensive when you buy the kit but eventually you'll be churning stuff out at under 50p a pint.
