Our Queen of Sours has returned...

When Kayla spots a new fruity sour, resistance is futile. This time she's tackling Funky Fluid's Gelato Banana, Mango & Coconut Lassi (5.5%)

A great name, a respected brewery, and plenty of promise, but does it live up to the title, or is the grass simply greener on the can?

Kayla investigates!

So whilst in Whitby yesterday.. I spotted something else on the Horizon.. but what could it be..

It's another Brewery! (Tap) Helmsley Brewing Co.

Today we went all the way to Whitby to see what Whitby Brewery had on offer... It was not a straightforward journey there was a bridge malfunction, a very large hill, and a mysterious orange ball in the sky.

Rage: Activated.
Hop shortage: Eliminated.
Barbarian Robin is a critical hit of an IPA.

TEH ALE TRAIN- Stop 3

By the time we got to The White Horse, the sun had finally decided to show up.

A few decent beers, a table outside, a group selfie, and a pint of Goose Eye for Sam.

TEH ALE TRAIN 2026 - STOP 1

Under threatening skies and armed with nothing but optimism, sunglasses, hats & questionable clothing choices, we kicked off the #TEHaletrain2026 at The Flying Duck / Wharfedale Brewery, Ilkley.

Peter’s ventured into dessert territory this time with Marshmallow Mountain from Siren Craft Brew. but will he be on a sugar high? or a pillow of sugary sadness?

Stu’s gone full dessert goblin this time with Sweet Summer Crumble from Naryensztadt Craft Brewery

A 4.2% Smoothie Beer that sounds like someone looked at an actual crumble and thought:
“Yeah… but what if this got us slightly tipsy?”

"in a world full of ultra-hazy hop bombs, can a “Very English” IPA still stand out from the crowd?"

Right then… what’s the most UNDERRATED beer style at the moment?

Not “best”.
Not “most popular”.
Just criminally overlooked.

We’ll start:
A good Red Rye absolutely hits when done properly!

#beeroclock #beerlovers #beerreviews

[The Eternal Hoptimists @THoptimists]

The Plan is Set, and Ilkley is in our Sights! Roll on next Weekend!

I would also like to extend a super special thank you to Duncan Carty for sorting out this years Ale Train promo banner, I think it looks ace!...

[The Eternal Hoptimists @THoptimists]

Kayla’s ventured into the wizarding world of beer this time with Albus Crumbledore from Brew York

A Mixed Fruit Crumble Sour that sounds less like a beer and more like something served at a suspiciously cosy tavern just off Diagon Alley.

Today @EastHullPete back with something carrying a little more punch this time

We’re cracking into West Side Glory, a 7.0% West Coast IPA from Thornbridge Brewery and Stone Brewing.

A cask pint in central London for less than £5.. surely thats impossible?...

[The Eternal Hoptimists @THoptimists]
