I did have another #Collabageddon beer at Fuggles Beer Cafe - the cask version of @elusivebrewing.com x @brollybrewing.bsky.social Midnight Cruiser, which was so good. I preferred it to the keg version. Creamy, balanced, with the coffee more pronounced.
4/4
The last #Collabageddon beer I had (10 out of 12 - not bad) was Wildhorse x Origins with another “Chimera” called Wiwer - a White Grenache. Given how sour the Red one was, I was surprised that this had no sourness. Very funky, though, like a farmhouse ale.
3/4
The next #Collabageddon beer was @thornbridge.bsky.social x @handbrewco.bsky.social Vega - a Transatlantic IPA. The style name is because they’ve used US and UK Cascade hops, as well as Citra. It’s very much Westie in character - zesty, bitter, piny, resinous with a lovely clarity. Amazing!
2/4
Tracked down 3 of the 5 #Collabageddon beers that I didn’t have on Friday. The location was Fuggles and I started with @durationbeer.bsky.social x Tap Social’s Goatfell. A Mountain IPA, it’s got the juiciness of a NEIPA - pineapple and lychee - but some bready malt too. Great beer!
1/4
Excellent #Collabageddon beers at The Bookshop AleHouse in Southampton tonight
It was #Collabageddon night last night and I was at @brollybrewing.bsky.social Taproom. They have a strict rotation system, so I had 7 out of the 12 beers, but I may pop back over the weekend to see if they’ve put any of the others on!
So let’s break down what I had last night…

A goblet of dark beer with a light frothy head on a bar counter with handpumps.
#Collabageddon under way at the Hand in Hand Brighton with @handbrewco.bsky.social x @durationbeer.bsky.social Noki Schwarbier.
Now in Green Goddess for the first six #collabageddon beers before heading to @theshirkersrest.bsky.social for part two. My friends are very happy too.
the taproom in Stirchley and the Barrel Store in the JQ will be pouring six beers each from Friday 21st November. Be sure to get down and check them out, once they're gone, they're gone!

Got some other beers too. Had to try some of the #Collabageddon beers, so got the two that @elusivebrewing.com had a hand in (w/ @mysteriousbrewing.bsky.social & Duality) plus Wagon Pitch, brewed with @durationbeer.bsky.social, and I had to get a couple of the @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social CCC beers.

Sunday shirking:
#Collabageddon Day 3 at the Shirker’s and @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social
And a GenZ-focussed quiz upstairs at 6pm. Free entry.
We open at 3pm
You know, for a BIPA - we're pretty happy with how this is scoring on the Hellsite.
And very proud to be a part of #Collabageddon. So huge thanks to @tabamatu.bsky.social for asking us to be a part of it.
Much love!
Sadly I wasn’t able to get to a #Collabageddon venue this evening. Very disappointed. Now I’m home, so I’m enjoying a couple of Orbit (not here yet) beers instead.
I'm on a #collabageddon (I blame @elusivebrew.bsky.social) Bluntrock x Neighbourhood Shapes DIPA at the @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social - can highly recommend.
Boys meet handsome barman at part 2 of #collabageddon @TheShirkersRest. What a great way to spend a day off 💗🤣🍻
Happy @elusivebrew.bsky.social @tabamatu.bsky.social #Collabageddon Day 🍻
