I am pissed in the kitchen watching this

@@demonbarber101 Just remember to keep those kitchen fires small. Just a little cheeky one on occasion!

I'm watching to see if she ends up slumped across the table.

😂

...and only after a few sips of beer!! lol

That's a creepy way of saying something is funny

@@Forestgravy90 You have a creepy way of trolling .......

😂 hope you like it!

Kentish cider review next !

ahahahahaha!!! onward to Spring and bevvies!

Allana on the lash never fails to disappoint.

Messy

Or Worthington White shield, if you can find it.

Old P the OG

@@johnros1956 Both 1698 and White Shield are bottle - conditioned. Alanna, that means that they continue to ferment in the bottle, so only natural carbonation. A small amount of yeast can be seen in the empty bottle. Shepherd Neame is one of my favourite breweries,btw. Spitfire, Bishop's Finger and Master Brew are all worth trying (imo)

Old Peculiar is one of the TOP english beer

You're too kind!

Thanks so much for watching!!

@@AdventuresAndNaps Ale is beer.... there is also larger but that is different but still is mostly the same.

Far from being hammered only drank half a beer all up.

Indian pale ale was developed for the British army in India. Hence the name.

My understanding is that the 'double' in double IPA refers to the amount of malt used. More malt means more sugar to ferment and therefore usually a stronger beer. That's what my local craft brewer told me anyway.

@@harveybrant3352 Having now fact checked myself, you are correct in that the "double" appears to have originally referred to an increase in malt to produce a higher alcohol content. However, there are many beers being sold as Double IPA which are described as extra hopped. It seems Double IPA is also called Imperial IPA. There's a brewer's association who say this, "... Imperial IPA as an IPA with color that is straw to medium amber, 6.0%-8.4% alcohol, with hop aromas and flavors that are very high, but not aggressively bitter. Among brewers the general consensus is that a double IPA is an IPA with amplified aromas, flavors, and alcohol". So that suggests there is no actual requirement to double anything!

@@neilgayleard3842 It's India Pale Ale. It's not Indian it's British.

The British army in imperial India won't have had refrigeration and it's a great light ale to drink at room temperature. Some ales can be really heavy tasting - good on a rainy evening in November, less so in summer. I'm defo going to give the 1698 a go. Less so the chocolate-banana slammer!

Actually they are all beers. Ale, stout, IPA, lager etc are all types of beer. 😊

I hear that a lot from American folk I know

I know there are some good American craft beers but how you ever thought Coors was any good...I'll put it down to you being young.

I know a few Americans that came over with the "the british drink flat, warm beer" notion and had an epiphany the first time they had a cellar chilled ale at the pub. Beer is only warm if you don't drink it fast enough.😂

@eightw5783 it came in a 5 liter "party ball", how could it be bad?

Did you fall for the old 'Let's give the American some cider because their cider is just apple juice' routine...? Lol ☺

😂 Thank you!

Going to a beer festival would also be an education 😆

Thanks for watching!

Otherwise she'd end up with Super Tennants!

Finding your favourite drink can take decades true enough. I'm 76 and still trying to find mine.

😂

Yeah, that was a great line

Thank you!

​@@AdventuresAndNaps I was offered a 'beer' in the USA by a guy beside a huge barrel towed by 4 horses, it was Budweiser Light, I said, no thanks, water is stronger!

You're too kind!!

Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you!!

Thanks! 😀

Strong beers are often sweeter.

Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it

It's the over hopping I can't stand in a lot of craft beers. I'm thinking that's probably what she doesn't like yeah

Thanks so much!!

@@AdventuresAndNaps Why did you move to the UK? ever heard of Special Brew? that is a very strong beer it use to be 8% vol it is now 7.5 % but still a strong beer

@@michaelhawkins7389 "Barley Wine" is even stronger IIRC.🍺😵

😊 thank you

😁

Thank you kindly!

I remember a New Years Eve years ago, when unusually, my wife and I had no New Years party to go to, so we decided to have a night out and installed ourselves in a real ale pub in our city centre. We were perched on bar stools right across from the strong ales pumps. I had a pint of Roger and Out and got a particular taste for it. I stayed with the same brew for the next three pints, and having drunk four, I decided it was time for a visit to the gents. I carefully lowered myself from my bar stool to the floor and suddenly discovered that my legs had stopped working. I felt (reasonably) semi-sober otherwise, (a bit tiddly but not too bad) but my legs just wouldn't work, and just folded under me. I dragged myself to my feet, and headed for the toilets, only to find my legs wobbling again before I got there. The next time I came across 'Roger and Out' was the following summer, on a visit to a pub in Sheffield, but there the door to the Gents was right next to where I was sitting, which was itself right opposite the bar. Nevertheless, I drank it in halves and stopped well before I started feeling the effects. A lovely brew, but too risky to go all out on it!

Glad you like them!

I partial to a King Goblin

I think I tried Hobgoblin Ruby on a previous video, but don't think I've tried Gold yet!

@@AdventuresAndNaps Gold is a smoother taste and easier to drink

You are so kind!

Wooo thank you!!

Wow, sounds awesome!

NEVER get an Abaddon 17%

Thanks so much for watching!

King goblin is better than hobgoblin.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

Wells banana bread beer is tasty

@@richardharper3397 it really is a great brew 100%

​ taste is a bit too overpowering to drink more than one in a session but definitely one to have that one of.

At least it's not just me!

IPAs are delicious. Imperial IPAs are less hoppy and more malty like your traditional IPA. Currently drinking Old Rasputan, it's pretty damn good!

My favourite at the moment. I saw it on draught yesterday in Leeds but I was driving and my wife wouldn't let me 😂

Wow, thanks!

You know it! 😂

Pork scratching and scampie fries I hope 😀

@@dave_h_8742 Pork scratchings a given, but Step Away From The Scampie Fries! If you want to show how worldly wise you are, it's Bombay mix time.

☺️ I'm so happy!

Didn't know that about how IPA came about. The sooner this IPA fad goes away the better, it's like drinking flowers.

You sound like a sensible traditionalist. You're going to love my little story. I worked for a brewery that made some custom beers on demand for the buyers. One day our biggest customer wanted "a dark IPA". The response was something like "So you want an ale, with lots of hops?". Turned out the consumers requested this because they all were on the IPA hype, but obviously wanted something else, because the product they preferred was the least hoppy one. They just wanted to drink a dark ale, but in a bottle that said "IPA". Well, they paid for it. But it never felt right bottling that nice ale in IPA bottles. :( A barbarian who loves bitter stuff.

@@donkfail1 That is fantastic,tragic and entirely believable. Fads, eh? Well at least the beer was good. Credit due for figuring out what they actually wanted! It's an underrated skill.

I got some sri lankan lion stout from a corner shop, 8.8%. I got 2 bottles a 660ml and a 330 ml and it cost £8 for the both, no idea how much each bottle was. I thought at that strength I could sip them slowly and make them last all night, I ended up quaffing the both in no time and going back out for more beer.

☺️

Glad you enjoyed it!

True! Stay safe!

Thanks so much for watching!!

I think 1698 is my new favourite!

Can't say I've had that one before! This video is just for British beers I could find, but there's always other videos we can do next!

@@AdventuresAndNaps Belgian beers are another world entirely - but one worth exploring! 😃

@@mikegerrish3459 Alanna taste-testing Belgian beer would be hilarious.

Thanks so much for watching!

Nearly!

The people of Kent call their beer shit and scream for a reason.

I agree

And very carefully.I used to drink Worthington white shield and had to insist that I pour it myself.

tip the bottle up first and mix it in, it adds flavour.

@@wullaballoo2642 Perhaps! But what flavour exactly? Back in the day when you could still smoke in pubs, emptying the ashtray into your pint would have had a similar effect.

Wow!!

Brewdog are an abusive employer and pub owner.

It's freeze distilled beer. It only remains a beer as a technicality but it should be experienced once - and only once. Alanna, please do so. I'd love to see your reaction.

Don't think I have ever had anything from brewdog that I liked.

It's impossible to get 39% from fermentation. It must have spirits added or be distilled in some way.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Would love to try a Russian imperial stout

Years and years ago, somebody gave me a can of Carlsberg Special Brew. Don't remember exactly the percentage, but 10 or 11-ish. It's basically a lager, but with that high an alcohol content, it tasted like somebody had put some moonshine into it... Absolutely disgusting(!). It was even worse than their Elephant Beer, which is infamous.

@@Innerspace100 "Tramp juice"

@@oscarosullivan4513 Not stout. Stouts are nice. This was Russian Imperial Stoat. From Wessex Brewery. Not a fan. Glad I only had a half.

@@DaveF. I would try it anyway

That'll have to be Part 2!

Don't want her getting too tipsy too fast 😉

.....and Ginger Tom 😁

I think you would like Thomas Hardy’s Ale or Barley Wine.

@@AdventuresAndNaps Absolutely loved this video! PLEASE do a Part 2!!! :) You could maybe also try Whitbread Gold Label Barley Wine (around 12%) but it's a bit sickly sweet........ A really good strong beer/ale snack for next time is Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chili Crisps! yum yum........

Awesome! Thank you so much!!

@@AdventuresAndNaps - Alanna, I'm drinking the Vocation Imperial Banana right now - I started it with a pizza earlier this evening, and my first impression was 'wow' - that's got a strong banana kick to it! It reminds me of something, it may have been a cooked dessert with banana in it but I can't quite recall. Very weird. I also picked up a couple of bottles of the Kentish Ale while I was in Tesco, so I'll be giving that a go tomorrow. Thanks for doing the video, it was very interesting, but maybe next time use glasses so we can see just how darkly evil these beers are. Cheers!

😂

Thanks so much for watching!

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you! You too!

You sure can!

Old style IPAs, like Shepherd Neame's, are very different to the 2 that she tried here. Which are more American style, and very hoppy. Traditional English IPAs are very balanced

Thanks for the suggestion!
