Best Beer from Bossman

[Jocky]

I went into Bossman to check their selection out and I have to say - their beer range is legendary!

My fave is without a doubt is Argentina's Quilmes. Can anybody recommend some other good ones to try?

[Horsebox]

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 :)

[StraferJack]

are they selling Thornbridge beers ? That's my goto these days...

[Dopamine1979]

The Brixton one is good.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I really like the uberlocal Brick Brewery's Pioneer

[Earl Aelfheah]

Some of Brixton's IPAs I just find too heavily hopped (although I know this is the fashion nowadays).

[Seabag]

Five Points

Brew by Numbers Citra

Yummy

[Earl Aelfheah]

Kernel's stout is good (but very strong.. hic!)

[Jeremy]

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.

[Earl Aelfheah]

It is lightly hopped for an American IPA, that's fair - but I think that's why I like it. I find a lot of them just too much (The Brixton - Electric Avenue I think it's called - is just hard to drink.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Bossman is expensive, but we're lucky to have somewhere selling such a wide selection on the Lane.

[El Pibe]

I love(d) the Einst?ck beers

[Seabag]

Kernel ? Does any one seriously drink that stuff

I liked the Brick Brewery stuff very much, but no had from the bottle

[Horsebox]

SJ & Jeremy, I asked Cameron from Bossman about Thornbridge beers, they used to stock Jaipur but it didn't sell well enough to keep it as a regular line, though he did promise to get some in for me.

[StraferJack]

Flying Pig sells them too but obviously at bar prices, not bottle shop

Glad to see Jocky is living up to the stereotypical image of a Scotsman... :)

[Jocky]

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!

[Earl Aelfheah]

Clarkshaws brewery had an open day at the weekend too.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I want a beer.

It's London Beer City Week. I think there's events all over town all week :-)
