The Beer Report video review of Hobgoblin

This is what we have all waited for... Our favorite beer from our recent trip abroad gets it moment in the spotlight... Much has been said about the plain and bland character of the Hobgoblin beer by other shows and beer reviews. But none have ever reviewed the can.

Tonight, we go head to head with the Wychwood All-star. Pitting Brother against Brother, Beer against Beer, in a steel cage battle royale in which there can be only one winner... Is that a little much? Sorry!

Anyway, we taste them both. Be prepared to be surprised... Or maybe not?

It rings in at 13 minutes... Its 2 beers and a little something special.

BONUS: Stick around for The Beer Report Mailbag at the end of the show... It promises to be better than the show!

I love Hobgoblin. Every ale I've tried from Wychwood is delicious, actually. You poured it wrong, but this is redeemed by your "Ghetto British Accent" and "if you're sleeping on the street, and drinking one of these, you're sleeping on the street in style". Too right!

But what in the heck does unskunkable mean??

[grouchomarkks]

When we get bottles of beer over hear that have been sitting on a shelf for an extended period... And are made of clear glass... They tend to get "skunked". You loose a lot of flavor, and gain some unwelcome ones.

The cans are not affected by age and light the same way... They bring us a more representitive taste to what we came to love in England.

Cheers!

I'm drinking Hobgolin as i watch this vid, The way you pour this beatutiful ale is so wrong if you did this in uk we would hang, draw and quarter you. You have only been redeemed because you got good taste in Ale.

[grouchomarkks]

I can see that the aggressive pours may look offensive. How are you getting your Goblin over their in the UK. If you are getting bottles, then I would think you have to pour it very similar, or you will have a beer that is more carbonated than what you are used to an "the draw".

When we pour it so "hard", its in an effort to bring the carbonation down to a level that we remember while over in the UK. When drinking it fresh.

Reply to this vid.. Put your video where your mouth is?

[boovidge]

you're violating ale by pouring it like that!!!

[grouchomarkks]

??? Please explain for those of us who don't know what the Hell you are talking about!

[ozzyinskeg]

@MicManuk

I get my hobgoblin in a dark bottle....Never seen it canned in the US

[specialformula14]

cans get colder... !!

[Russell101]

Where's the Wikewood brewery? I've heard of one in Oxfordshire that's pronounced "witchwood", im just wondering if its the same one?

[Russell101]

@DubbleTrubbleBubble i am trying my first King Goblin as we speak! 6.6% ABV, same great taste but just that little bit more! Awesome :D

[DubbleTrubbleBubble]

so glad i live in england i have a limitless supply of hobgoblin.

oh and wychwood just released a new brew called 'KingGoblin' its actually better than HobGoblin so reccommend you guys hunt it down

[TheMrAdax]

The canned version is by far more tasty than the bottle. The bottle hardly has any taste.

[waistcoatbeerreviews]

[MicManuk]
