Recently, buffalo wings were added to the menu and here’s hoping Jones & Son’s famous pulled pork will join the menu soon, too. On the menu are handmade burgers in a variety of styles and with a host of toppings, such as the bacon cheeseburger, buttermilk chicken burgers and panko-crusted mushroom burgers, all served with hand-cut fries. The Salt Horse team offer – as they put it – “a veritable heaven of BBQ and burger delights”, thanks to Jones & Son Bespoke BBQs, their resident chefs for now. The team regularly hold tastings and events, and if you’re willing to brave the weather, there’s a beer garden. This Scottish institution always has 12 keg lines of great beer from around the UK and further afield, plus a number of bottles of ales. So we’ve hunted down a handful of places, dispersed around the UK, which should never let you down when you’re looking for a delicious meal and (perhaps more importantly) an imperial beer to complement it: 1. Salt Horse, Edinburgh It is worth going to this festival for the international beers alone, and you certainly won’t be left short of beers to try – but what you won’t find are the best British beers. The other place you’ll want to spend some time at the festival is the Dutch/Belgian stand (B20) with fridges packed full of beers you might be familiar with from our boxes – including breweries like Kees, De Molen and De Struise. Hardywood Park: Raspberry Stout – ABV 9.2% (B09)įrom beginning to end is has the sharpness of fresh raspberries in a superbly drinkable stout, and at £12 for a 22oz bottle there was plenty to share with friends. It’s somewhat unusual to have a big boozy, Bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout from a cask – but absolutely delicious nonetheless. The USA cask ale stand was easily the most popular, giving the chance to taste lots of beers you wouldn’t ordinarily come across. Rio Bravo Brew Co: Grab Em By The Putin – 13.5% ABV (B08) In fact there are only 8 more British beers over 7% which seems like a massive oversight on the part of the organisers with so many amazing strong beers being produced domestically. It’s also the only British beer over 8% in the whole festival. Whether you’ve had a good can, a bad can or haven’t tried it yet – this is your chance to taste the beer as it ought to be. I can’t think of a beer that’s had as many mentions in recent months. Tiny Rebel: Captain Insano – ABV 10% (B14) Heading to the Great British Beer Festival this week? We spent an afternoon at the trade session sampling a few of the stronger beers, and we’ve picked a few highlights.

Where else can I buy the 2017 Bloody ‘Ell Blood Orange IPA? The sun shone brightly over Tottenham Hale as the taproom and can bar doled out numerous drinks to a full house – it’s the closest I’ve ever felt to being at a music festival in a retail park. It’s a real summer ale – and it’s as if the chaps at the Beavertown Brewery Taproom had told the weather as much. Tangy, hoppy and dangerously drinkable because it hides the high alcohol percentage (7.2%) in such a way that the Blood Orange IPA could easily be a session ale. However, this year, everyone and his dog had packed into Lockwood Industrial Park to see the new brew.įortunately, it didn’t disappoint. Bloody ‘Ell – that’s a nice beer. IBC was at the event last year, where a few die-hards had shown up to try the seasonal IPA. The change in the size of the crowd at the Beavertown Brewery Taproom, from the 2016 Bloody ‘Ell Blood Orange IPA launch to the 2017 crop is a metaphor for the growth of the whole London craft beer scene itself.
