Rhys rates beer has gone on tour
I find myself in hogsmead, the three broomsticks, tucking into some dragon scale lager, dark forest ale and butter beer.
The dragon scale lager isn’t too bad, it’s nothing stunning but it’s not offensive. I give it a 6/10, not very high and to be honest my surroundings are probably blinding my judgment
The dark forest ale has a toffee hint to it, it don’t work, I dunno if it’s just me but toffee doesn’t go with a strong thick ale taste. It’s sickly, I’d never manage multiple pints of this. One visit to the pub would result in diabetes. 4.2/10
Butter beer, it’s like drinking liquid caramel. Taste brilliant to begin with but again I’d never manage more than one. You’d be rolling me onto the Hogwarts express. 3.5/10
We then head over to the leaky cauldron to try Daisy root ale and wizards brew.
Daisy root ale, you can taste what they were trying to do. It’s awful, no two ways about it, foul. It’s nasty ale with an after taste that hints of toothpaste. 1.2/10
Wizards brew, I won’t lie I’ve lost me patience. The only good thing about this drink is I can wash away the nasty ass Daisy root taste, disgraceful. If this is what’s setting the bar for our food abroad, no wonder the world thinks our food is rank. 4.6/10
We finish in Moe’s tavern for a duff.
Duff, as you would expect it’s a very stereotypical beer. With a pool cue in my hand I could throw these back. It’s completely middle of the run but completely inoffensive. 6/10
None of the drinks came in fancy cups or mugs or glass tankards, just plastic cups, sad times
