Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Worth looking out for as I do like both the cans and the keg version.

They still make Corona! Did you have a slice of lime in the neck of the bottle?


Alas no, it was a pretty down-market kind of a place.

Bottle of Palmer’s 200, 5%. Really nice, rounded flavour and doesn’t taste like a 5% beer.

No 44 a Ruby ale from hobgoblin. An odd beer not a bitter not a mild but an odd malty taste. Didn’t really like it.

Hobgoblin have been producing distinctly average beers for quite a while now. They're variations on a theme.

Agree OS. A bit like how Greene King rebranded Old Speckled Hen to include Old Golden Hen and other Old 'something' Hens. I don't mind Hobgoblin Gold if it's (in my opinion) the best of a bad bunch on offer (or if it is £1 a bottle in the supermarket!) but there's a lot of other beers I'd go for before it.

Hobgoblin were very good, 25 years ago, but they started fiddling with the recipes, to keep the price right on the supermarket. Many a decent beer has gone that way. Archers in Swindon was excellent, Marley's Ghost and their Golden were great and then they chased the profit.

25 years ago we lived in the Wychwood. Hobgoblin was good back then but we preferred Hook Norton.

A little while ago the Lidl here had a selection box of British beers that included Hobgoblin, I used to love the stuff when we lived in the UK but was left quite disappointed.

About This Thread

Maintained by Ocelot Spleens
and here we are in 2025....

I still really like a pint.

I think this is not too controversial health wise, besides it's quality I prefer not volume.

Lots of beers about these days. I interpret it as different beers within 2025, and you can, if you like; avoid beers you have had before, but as ever the list is yours to do what you like.

Also interesting to see how variable local areas are!
