A quick follow-on from my previous post; 'A Night Out in Gosforth', where any trip would not be complete without a call into the fabulous Coopers on nearby Brunton Park - an 8 till 8 Convenience Store with a difference, in that it has probably one of the best selections of Bottled Real Ales anywhere in the North East. A brief glance at my six bottle, sixteen pound selection, gives a glimpse into the diverse range on offer, and highlights that you don’t have to pay a premium for this first class service. Go on give them a call . . . you won’t be disappointed!
Stewart Brewing Hollyrood 5% - World Beer Awards Best Blonde/Golden Ale 2010
Stringers Beer IPA 5.5% - from Ulverston, Cumbria’s 100% Renewably Powered Brewery
Cropton Brewery Old Goat 8.0% - a deceptively easy drinking Strong Bitter
Durham Brewery Benidictus 8.4% - a potent, traditional English Barley Wine
Watermill Inn W’ruff Night 5.0% - Golden, Hoppy Ale from Ings in the Lake District
Oops . . . for the life of me I can’t place the last brew; Double-Hopped and weighing in at around 9%, with a Green Label - and no, I didn’t drink them in one session, honest. Either way, I’m sure I’ll spot it again on my next visit and, hopefully you won’t beat me to it!
