Beavertown and Puss on Tap in Beer Saturday 410

Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.

Saturday on Hive of course means it's time to write about the good old amber nectar or Beer and today's no exception for me.

Here in the Kingdom we have been basking in gorgeous sunshine all week. This post is from a visit to a pub that I had to undertake on Thursday!

A new pub and a new pint!

We had sun, sun and more sun on Thursday and I popped in for a pint.

Actually this shot I took as I was leaving, you can even see my empty glass on the table.

Of course I was drawn to that tap..

And ordered a pint...

£5.95 it's no longer cheap to drink in a typical British pub.

I took my pint outside and was about to sit when I saw this wee puss.

Such a friendly little thing it was, and being as today is #caturday it seems appropriate to post today!

Beavertown Neck Oil

The pint I got was Neck Oil Session IPA from Beavertown

I found it very drinkable, but the wee puss obviously was a on no alcohol day!

I was the only one in the pub and it is part of the Star chain of pubs on whose behalf I was there testing things...

Wee puss was just sunbathing in the sun when I arrived and seemed to have the perfect spot to survey all who arrived.

Not only was the pub on a hill, but the table was a slant as well.

Luckily I did not roll off the seat...

But crucially the beer was not harmed in these pictures!

Wee puss then went for a nap while I drank my beer and wrote my report.

It was very drinkable.

Not strong at all, only 4.3% but it went down smooth.

Of course the glass was funky with the skulls and bones everywhere!

Perfect mild pint for a summer's afternoon!

Empty

A very drinkable pint, indeed very sessionable as you could have a session of them without being the worse for wear!

Beavertown Brewery

Beavertown Brewery ~ From Rock 'n' Roll Roots to Craft Beer Powerhouse

Beavertown Brewery was founded in 2011 by Logan Plant, son of legendary Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant.

Hence the Rock 'n' Roll roots, and they are now known for their visually striking and psychedelic branding featuring skulls, spaceships, and vibrant colours which you can see from my glass and the tap.

The brewery's name is an old nickname for the De Beauvoir Town area of London where its first beers were brewed.

Over to Gemini for an account of the deets for Neck Oil the Sessionable IPA Star

• Style: Session IPA
• ABV (Alcohol By Volume): Typically around 4.3%, making it "sessionable" – meaning you can enjoy a few without being overwhelmed by alcohol.
• Appearance: Pours a hazy golden or straw colour with a white head.
• Aroma: Bursts with citrus and tropical fruit notes, often described as having hints of grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, and orange.
• Taste: Delivers a refreshing and crisp taste with a good balance of hop-derived fruitiness (citrus, passionfruit) and a light malt backbone. It's designed to be hoppy but not overly bitter, making it very drinkable. The finish is often described as dry and hoppy.
• Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied with a smooth and often lively carbonation.
• Ingredients: A blend of hops including Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Vic Secret, combined with Extra Pale and Carapils malts, and US-05 yeast.

The name "Neck Oil" itself is a colloquial term for a refreshing pint, inspired by founder Logan Plant's grandfather.

Now it is time for me to nip to the shop for some bread for tomorrow's sandwiches for a picnic!
