So there we were, one cold evening a few months back looking for kicks in Kings Cross and we found ourselves in the beer isle. We had already eased the joints with a few cold ones so the sight of the amusing Bishops Finger sparked an idea… beer tasting but with a little twist. We decided to pick a selection purely on the stupidity of their name. Allot of the local beers here in London are much like its countrymen, weak, bitter and nasty. So back to Ruapekapeka (the bat cave) we headed to cool our unchilled purchase and down a few tall cans in the meantime.

What follows is Mark’s little write up of our tasting.
Bishops finger
Ausome gold trimmed label, cool jack daniels shaped bottle. 5.4% and a strong malty hop flavor which I dont really like. we give it 6 tubes stops out of 10 (10 tube stops being an ultimately miserable experience, trust me I do it when I cant ride).
Urg ok onto Hobgoblin
really cool ye oldy TOLKIEN style label. surprising flavorful beer, hints of berry? bottle cap t-shirt deal on the back of the bottle which is kinda. 5.2% we liked this we give it 3 tube stops (which is a good night remember!)
Waggle dance
Defiantly the dumbest named beer. I dont think I even need to taste this but im an alcey and will drink anything so here we go.... mmmmmm smells really good, weird. its got a fruity honey flavor easy to drink, like a fruity lager? we would give this a 2 but the lable, name and bottle shape is sooo gay we give it a 4.
GOLDEN GLORY!
Nat said the golden shower taste delicious (Ed: Freudian slip), ummmmmm yeah its a bit too fruity for me, no really. fruity weird asha said it taste like purple guana (remember those) gross we give a unamis 6 tubes.
Old Peculiar (the legend)
Yeah its not all that. dark, 5.6% strong kinda weird. im drunk i cant really tell but asha cant drink it so it must be pritty bad. me and nat give it 5.
