chips Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I have to say I'm surprised at that, I've not tasted sunburst but tried and loved Lia Fail, Ossian and Thrappledouser.Most of the lager drinkers in our party reverted to drinking bottled beers after trying it. Sunburst or whatever it was called was the only lager the postbox had on tap. At one point a few of us buggered off to the Old ship for a quick decent pint before our wifes noticed we were gone.But saying that I not wanting to down a local brewery, im sure the lagers you mentioned above are decent. I quite fancy doing a tour of the place to see what else they offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely up there with one of the worst lagers I've ever tasted. I've tried Ossian which is pleasant enough, although not a lager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazman1977 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I actually quite like Sunburst. Good pint of it in The Green Room. It is more a Czech style pilsner than a "lager" (i.e. Tennents) I must admit,I do drink beer rather than lager for the most, though, so perhaps that's why I enjoy it. A lager for the beer drinker. myDarlingBeefeater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lager for the beer drinker.What he said. Sunburst is one of my favourites. I suppose most folk would rather drink generic eurofizz like Tennants, Carling etc or it would be more widely on sale. Good to see them doing well and offering discounts on the open day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myDarlingBeefeater Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Good to see them doing a roaring trade this afternoon. Free samples at the local brewery is a fine alternative to the football. Anyone tried the Ooskabeer? Just had one of the 1775. Very nice.

Dave H Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I was first in at 10am to buy a case for a mate and a good few for myself. Cannae beat Santas Swallie at this time of the year. Looking forward to drinking my Ooskabeer, pretty expensive, but a wee treat for Christmas day.Bought casks in the past, good to have a brewery in the toon, that produces top quality products.
