Surprise episode!! Just a week since the last episode, I have another one for you … with Pete from @Garage_Project in New Zealand. They’ve recently dropped some of their beers in the UK, which you may still be able to get hold of. Details in notes.

@maskedparsnip @HopStopBeers @TheBeakBrewery @SierraNevada Cheers 🍻
This was a barley wine in name, but definitely had a little bit of the TIPA vibe, although concentrating more on the malt characteristics.

Fantastic end of week visit to @HopStopBeers for a couple of beers - a great hazy from @TheBeakBrewery and the phenomenal @SierraNevada Bigfoot🫈 🍻

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Yesterday in London, after my trip to Elusive, I stopped at @indiebeershop for a @SierraNevada Torpedo, and then The Pocket for a DDH Pale from @PrettyDecentBC.

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Then went for the three @ElusiveBrew 10th birthday beers brewed in collaboration with @two_flints & @hopburnsblack, @northridingbrew & @NagsHeadReading, @darkrevbeer & The Bookshop Alehouse.
Incredible beers!! Happy Birthday to Andy and the team!

I’ve got some plans in London, so I’ve come early to @ElusiveBrew for their 10th b’day celebrations. Started with Oregon Trail, as I think is law by now. Still an amazing beer even in a plastic cup. Followed with Quench, then Looper x Oregon Trail (@fullcirclebrew collab).

I may not have been at Maidenhead Craft Beer Festival today, but I did have a couple of beers that I bought there yesterday, from @bearwoodbrewing. A great Westie and a lovely hazy!

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Now I’m off to London for dinner in a posh restaurant!! Some more pics - me with Russ from @AmityBrewCo, with @rocketqueened, and with @IndieRabble / @ahoppyplace supremo Dave Hayward!

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

A fleeting, but very enriching, visit to Maidenhead CBF run by @ahoppyplace. Tried to stay Westie as much as I could. Beers from @SierraNevada @IndieRabble @tapsocialbrew @ElusiveBrew to get things going.

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Following those beers at Maidenhead CBF, I went for beers from @AmityBrewCo @SirenCraftBrew and @greatbeyondbeer.

Last night, after the Turkish beers, I felt in the mood for a big Impy, so I went for Stoutzilla from @UnBarredBrewery. What a beer!

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Three Turkish beers that I picked up last week in Istanbul, from two breweries from the city itself.
First two are from À Santé Brewery - a really good Vienna lager and a punchy Imperial Red; then the last one from 3 Kafadar, which was a decent American Pale.

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Paid a visit to @HopStopBeers this evening to try the @TheBeakBrewery x @Harveys1790 collab, which was tasting very good. Followed that up with a Verdant beer, and then back to Sussex for @burningskybeer.

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

I had a nice evening with the Paul, Alin, and Shawn from new brewery Palindrome Brew Co tonight, chatting about what they’ve set up. You can hear our conversation on the next episode.

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Just a couple of hours free today in Istanbul, so I headed to The Populist Galataport, which is a Torch Brewery taproom, and had 7 of their beers - a taster selection of 6 of them, then a half of the Imperial IPA. Decent beers!

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

But besides the great beer, I’ve met a couple of great people - the bar tender and one of the patrons. Much more my kind of place! If you’re in Istanbul you must come here!
2/2

[Paul Newton - Beer Prime @BeerPrimeUK]

Second stop in Istanbul as per @MusingAnorak’s advice is Sanayi 1A. It’s in a lot quieter part of the city and much smaller and very unassuming. But it’s awesome! Much better than the first place! I’ve had some amazing beers from A Sante, Torch, 3 Kafadar, and @garaguzubira.
