Best Beer from Bossman


Jocky

Recommended Posts

Quilmes is probably one of their more pedestrian offerings.


I can recommend trying any beer from one of the newish London breweries:


Kernel, Brixton, Beavertown (owned by Robert Plant's son). Beavertown's Gamma ray IPA OR the Black Betty black IPA are particularly good.


Otherwise, just try every bottle on offer until you find your favourites :)

Not sure who sells Thornbridge locally - Ocado carry some of their beers though, at a reasonable price.


Bossman is good... but a bit overpriced IMO. But useful to have it there to tide you over between Ocado deliveries. The costcutter (or whatever it calls itself now) on Bellenden Rd actually has a good selection too.


I actually think Pioneer is a little under-hopped for an American IPA! But a nice beer, and only ?2.50 in their on-site bar.

Thanks everybody. Some class recommendations by the sound of it.

I went to the Beavertown open day on Saturday. Their Gamma Ray is indeed great. It was ?2.50 for 2/3 pints, ?2.50 for all bottles and ?2.50 for all cans.


I think I met the boss there on Saturday, which I guess must've been Plant Jnr.



it was rather a good day out; decent grub, excellent beer and the Rough Trade DJs.

If you buy a decent amount they'll give you 10% discount, which sweetens the price.


It's a high street shop - so it's going to cost more than online obvs, but for all the usual reasons I'm going to support a local shop which sells something I want - even if it does cost a few quid more. They've delivered orders to me at home too.. Though I'm not sure if this is standard practice.


If I were them I would consider promoting a discounted bulk order with home delivery. I'd use it for sure.

?2.50 a go? Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday!
