Another beer that I’ve drunk for a long time, but not yet got around to reviewing – Beavertown Neck Oil (Session IPA). I’ve read a plethora of stories on the creation of the Beavertown brewery, not all of which align. However,… Read more Beavertown Neck Oil Session IPA – Delicious, refreshing, vegan-friendly session IPA
Milkshake beers aren’t a new thing, but overall, they’re not a winning thing either. If they were, we’d all be drinking them in our locals.
