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.

and here we are in 2024....

I still really like a pint.

I think this is not too controversial health wise. Lots of beers about these days. I interpret it as different beers within 2023, and you can, if you like; avoid beers you have had before, but as ever the list is yours to do what you like.
