You ain't no beer drinker, you don't know shit!

[weirdbeer]

@wadmanlikesbeer1 Sounds like someone needs to relax and drink a beer himself. Cheers!

what´s the name of the background music???

[weirdbeer]

@djpaulvanjaf Thats just me strumming the guitar. No name for that tune.

As far as I know. Wychwood make great ales. You should try 'Bombadier' or 'Golden Glory' if u can get your hands on them. 'golden glory' is an awesome ale. Really refreshing with great peach aroma and flavours

[weirdbeer]

@steeleboy30 Bombadier I can get. But Golden Glory I cannot! Too bad!

[wadmanlikesbeer1]

@weirdbeer You're right, sorry bud it was a good review. I guess I got a place on my heart for Hobgoblin or drank too much of it that day! Keep drinking beer bud!

[wadmanlikesbeer1]

You bitch you can't pour a beer to save your life! Both times you cut the video off short! First beer the head was too much to finish off the pour and the second one the head never even got to the top! The beauty of video editing!

Tis now the month of the Hobgobbler

Why in the world would a homebrew bottle still have a label on it? They didn't clean the bottle before they bottled??!!

[BrewUK]

The thing with ales like Hob Goblin is to only chill them in the fridge for about half and hour before drinking. They will then be nice and frothy and tasty. mmmmmm...

I made an all-grain Hob Goblin clone that I prefered to the original. I have the recipe on my website along with some other homebrew info etc. tonyq.co.uk
