Drinking Tom

Just somewhere I share and talk about what I'm drinking, and where I'm drinking it. Also, I occasionally pull pints at The Forest Brewery Taproom

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

I can't believe it slipped my mind that I've been working here at @BreweryForest for over 2 years now! There's been some big changes in that time, we've got a whole new bar, a new outside seating area, and have started getting local food trucks in for events! Onwards and upwards!

So it begins! First shift at The Forest Brewery Taproom

Anyone using Untapped?

Cherry Chouffe on tap at Thirsty Pines in Gloucester! Christmas heaven in a glass! One of the best Belgian beers I've ever had

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Another from The Thirsty Pines in Gloucester, a delicious glass of Chimay. Such a pleasure having a bar in Gloucester with this range of fantastic beers

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

A splendid trip to Thirsty Pines in Gloucester yielded a wonderful glass of Cornet Oaked. This beautiful Belgian blond uses oak.chips in the fermentation process, rather than being aged in an oak barrel

An excellent cider from Gwynt Y Ddraig! This is the award-winning Black Dragon cider from Wales! This medium-dry sparkling cider is a real favourite of mine

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Well, I'm back with a list of drinks so long most pubs could only dream of stocking what I've got to share! Starting fairly pedestrian though with a familiar beer from Badger Brewery. This is Master Stoat, their 5% coffee stout. A nice well-rounded, easy-drinking dark beer

Sending a lot of love, good thoughts, and positive vibes to all the kids at Birmingham Children’s Hospital ❤️ #BackToTheBeginning

@johnthebptst Working perfectly for me and over quater of a million others

Sunny weather calls for a cider! What better than a bottle of Ross Ciders Raison D'Être. An incredible cider with some deep complex flavours from oak cask aging. Just as usual, another fantastic cider from Ross!

Just a chill one last night with a little can of Neck Oil by @BeavertownBeer

A 4.3% session IPA. A little unremarkable but a decent enough beer after a hard day's work

[Little Father Time @IWoosey]

Winter sunlight in the local.

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Back before their recent beer festival, an evening jaunt to The Pelican Inn in Gloucester resulted in a delicious pint of Flapdoodle. A 4.3% coconut and maple milk stout from Stealth Brew Co. Milk stouts on cask are always delicious, and this is no exception

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Another short break from socials, and I'm back. This was a pint of Pacific Pale Ale from Brentwood Brewing Co at The Doghouse in Coleford. A nice crisp, refreshing pale on cask

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Another trip to The Doghouse in Coleford and a pint of Rapture by Fat Head Brewery. A smashing 5% ESB, a really bang on beer!

[Brew Tavern @BrewTavern]

Pouring now.

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

What better place to spend my weekend? In the Doghouse in Coleford drinking @Loddonbrewery Hocus Pocus on cask! A proper nice 4.6% dark amber old ale

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

Another pint down at The Ostrich Inn at Newland in the Forest of Dean. Otter Brewery's lovely 3.6% Otter Bitter. A cracking traditional bitter ale, clear, clean, and easy drinking. It's always a top pint and on top form here

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

This is probably the best beer I've had from Northern Monk! A collaboration with Toast Brewing, this is their 8.4% Peanut Butter & Jam Stout. Absolutely loaded with peanut butter and packed with sweet jam. Smells beautiful, but wasn't as thick as I was expecting. Cracking beer!

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

We had a lovely new beer on over the last couple of weeks at the taproom. This is Bristol Beer Factory's Espresso Martini Stout. 4.5%, subtle coffee, a touch of sweetness, and incredibly drinkable. A great alternative to their Milk Stout

[Drinking Tom @TomDrinking]

After a temporary break to reset and recharge, I've dropped back in with this delicious Barrel Aged Birthday Barley Wine from Three Hills Brewing. Boozy and packed with notes of sweet raisins and an intense rich bitter aftertaste. Very Christmas cakey, perfect!
