Had a few Sam Adams last night and 4 BrewDog Route 77 Lager. Fantastic.
 
Never used to be a big fan of the BrewDog stuff but tried some cracking ones recently.

Seems to be a standard nowadays that all off licenses keep a decent stock of craft booze. Love going to the local offo and getting different selection everytime.
 
Tried this stuff from tesco a few weeks back

Dead almost as bad as banana bread beer

Innis and GunnClap the rum casked is still my favourite. Had it on draught recently, was even better than in the bottle 
Had some of that last week, was vile stuff.
