Bulldog Brews Premium Beer Kits

We thought it was going to a like a Cobra, it certainly bit us after about six pints but it is a well bittered blonde ale.

We love the really pale bitter beers and it just hit the spot! Not that there's owt wrong with Cobra!

A classic pale bitter  4.5%

Uses Goldings and Fuggles hops

Round here we think of the Peak District as Derbyshire, don't know why they moved it to Yorkshire.

40 pints of a Tetley style bitter. That old Tetleys that had a fruitiness with it. That wonderful deep bitter taste with a real creamy head. Eeee, lad tha knows it's Yorkshire when beer gets this good.

4.7% Uses Goldings and Fuggles hops

They do produce some excellent ales in Yorkshire. Why do they call them Tykes? Supposed to be from the  dogs they always have with them, little Terriers called tykes. What's that to do with beer? Now a beer called "Old Peculiar" that I understand!

It does have a taste of Old Peculiar with that fruitiness and a hint of sweetness. Nicely bittered and not too harsh.

Uses Target and Goldings hops 5.4% so be careful!

Well bittered and a deep colour, not like  the old fashioned brown ales but almost a mild colour. Nutty with malts and just a hint of chocolate coming off the roated malts.

It has a full bitterness so it's not a mild, bit like a Newkie Brown with that finish and really big taste. We can remember a night in Newcastle but we can't remember how it ended except it all went wrong... That was Newkie Brown.. Be warned, you'll end up on the  wrong side of the river with no money and wearing a black and white scarf.

Fuggles hops  and 4.8%

Try it with a slice of lime, best served cold and in a desert. Try it with Burritos or a pack of those nachos and dip from Tesco's. Beware of Mexican bandidos who may come knocking on your door asking for a pint of your beer...

We loved it, and there's a free Mexican accent with every kit! " Hey Gringo, I bought youra seester a cactus drink, I'm a going to keel her! " Tequila! geddit?

Saaz and Cascade Hops 4.3%

It's strong, golden and blonde with a good body. That'll do for me!

A clean bite with a refreshing maltiness, light on the palate with bags of Nordic flavour.

It's a bit strong, at 6% you need to handle it carefully. Uses Saaz and Hallertau hops so its got a real Scandinavian taste. You might need a few of the Viking Marauders that drink this one to fight off the  Mexican Bandido's that escaped from the Cortez Gold!

It says special lager and it means it, possibly the  best lager kit we've ever made...

Uses  American Centennial and Zeus hops for a really authentic craft beer taste.

Fourty pints of a pale well bittered beer. We used to think all American beers were terrible, a lot of them still are but they have discovered flavour at last!

Four finger Jack is full bodied and ripped with extra bitter hops, you can almost taste ham fingered gangsters on tommy guns, or red necks in the bayou..

A great addition to the range!

7.1 %!! You have got to be barking mad to drink this, or you will be after 4 pints!

Uses Simcoe and Centennial hops, very pale but intensely bitter.

We love strong beers, we just can't drink much of them! It's a superb pint, the Americans drink these beers in small bottles or small glasses, be careful when you hit it by the pint! Make sure you don't get bitten by Evil Dog.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

A bit like a certain Brew Dog IPA...
