SAMMY SAY’S…

Alright, boys, listen up! We got ourselves a beer here, and let me tell ya, it’s a fkin’ beauty. It’s called “That’s the Way She Gose, Buddy,” and if that ain’t the most perfect name for a drink, I dunno what is. It’s got the same vibe as our Trailer Park Boys shenanigans—clever, funny, and just the right amount of fkin’ crazy.

So here’s the deal, you take a swig of this stuff, and it’s like slappin’ your taste buds with a big ol’ lemon. I’m talkin’ a proper sour, none of that weak-ass sh*t. But here’s where it gets interesting—it’s got this salty finish that’s like, “Hey bud, let’s keep this party goin’.” It’s like a sour lemonade, but, ya know, without the sugar ‘cause who the f**k needs that anyway?

This ain’t no all-day chuggin’ beer, boys. It’s got a kick to it, so you’re gonna wanna take your time. But, it’s smooth enough that once you start, you might just keep goin’ till it’s gone. And then you’ll probably want another one, ‘cause that’s just how it f**kin’ goes.

The can’s a f**kin’ masterpiece, alright? It’s got this wicked design that just screams, “Pick me up and drink me, you dumbass!” And it fits the name perfectly, like some genius put a lot of thought into it. Not that I’m thinkin’ too hard, but still.

So here’s the bottom line, boys—this beer is a fkin’ banger. It’s got the sour, it’s got the salt, and it’s got the style. It’s the kind of beer you drink when you’re celebratin’ the little victories in life, like when the cops don’t find your stash or when you finally get the car started after a night of boozin’. It just makes sense, from start to finish. So grab one, sit back, and enjoy the fk outta it, ‘cause that’s the way she f**kin’ goes, boys. Cheers!

JYMI SAY’S…

Full disclosure once more. I had a fairly hefty hand in the naming, tin art and design of this brew. I also got my lovely smooth mitts very dirty in the making of the beer. So some may say I would be bias when it comes to reviewing a brew that is so close to my heart. And they would be correct. But I would be more naturally bias in the negative direction if anything. Don’t know why, just the way I am. Really must call that therapist.

However, it is literally impossible to be negative about this beer. IT. IS. AN. ABSOLUTE. BALLER.

The second I tried it and then shortly received a call from Delphic Dan (his real name is Tom, don’t ask FFS) I knew we were onto a winner. Dan / Tom is also a guy who would not get excited about his creation if it wasn’t worthy of it.

But I’m telling you now, from the most neutral place possible. THIS. IS. AN. ABSOLUTE. BALLER.

Sooooooooooo crushable.

Sooooooooooo smooth.

Sooooooooooo lemony.

Sooooooooooo well balanced with the savoury salt back end.

Just soooooooo good, and something I’m so very proud of.

And hat’s off to Delphic Dan for really making the magic happen, absolute f’ing legend.

And as a side note, Delphic are now brewing and serving in the their awesome new taproom in Newbury town centre. Sammy and I were lucky enough to make the opening day where TTWSGB was our opening beer, obviously. If you can get there, get there. It is incredible. Doze beers. Dat table. #heartemoji
