Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 17 May 2025
Let’s book the local Premier Inn for the night and have a day out in Portishead. The local Spoons, The Posset Cup to start.
An 08:00 starter
Of course there was a little Prelude video. Some shot inside the Posset Cup.
So on with the Beer. The only Cask Ale of the Day.

The Review
Moose River - Hop Union - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, sweet malty base with a fruity, orange body with a gentle fruity bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Beanoing on #mb04 in The Posset Cup in Portishead. Looks a little bit flat but is perfectly drinkable.
Then on to The Port Bar
Should have had a Belgian Waffle
On to the Beers. Both brrewed on site.
Pilz That Thrillz
The Review
Pilz That Thrillz - Portishead Brewing - 4.9% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Big malt and big Saaz hops. Fruity and bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. At The Port Bar, Portishead and it’s brewed onsite. Like a Pils for the amplified generation. Solid Brew.
illegally
The Review
illegally - Portishead Brewing Co - 4.5% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Sweet fruit on the nose, sweet and sour fruity body. Fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. Added it to Untappd, this really is a hybrid style and on a sunny day like today, it’s what I really want #mb04
Doggy Friendly
I wouldn’t have minded
On to Sidney and Eden
It is Narrow
The Drinks on Tap Menu. A rather good selection.
Vault City and Cloudwater
Starting with The Cloudwater.
There are booths
The Review
Second Breath - Cloudwater - 7.0% ABV. B++, add a Shedload of NZ Hops and you get this murky Banger #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. No WiFi and £2.00 corkage on Cans and Bottles, however, the draft menu is excellent and ThreeUK is adequate.
Collab Time
The Review
Comfort Settings - Verdant / Wylam - 8.0% ABV. Collab Banger, highly murky, fruity and juicy with a hint of spice. Hints of alcohol #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Looks like Orange juice, tastes like a murky beer should be. Alcohol well hidden, so beware #mb04
And to end a Saturday Sour
A Vault City 8.4% Banger
The Review
Overnight Oats - Vault City - 8.4% ABV. B++ and a touch. Huge Banger, fruity, coconut nose. Fruity, sweet, tart and sour body. Sharp, fruity finish #ale #beer #bier
3.6/5. Another Saturday, another Vault City knocking it out of the park. The murk is winning it in 2025.
And the next morning a Premier Inn All You Can Eat Full English
Also a Banger!
