Darwin Rolling Hitch

While in ASDA the other day, saw some bottles of Darwin Rolling Hitch. Since I remebered it being mentioned in Whats Bruin, I naturally assumed it to be BC and bought a couple. It is certainly an impressive beer and equivalent to Sierra Nevada and Little Creatures as a good example of an IPA. It wasn't until I put the empty out that it dawned on me that it wasn't BC ! Despite this, I must say it was better than a large number of BCs I've been drinking recently. Well recommended and would be absolutely magnificent in BC form.



Checked back to the WB reference and - guess what - it was mentioned in Herr Protz's column. Given CAMRA's emphasis on RAIB, surely it the fact it wasn't BC should have been mentioned.



Cheers

I think it happens a bit in WB & certainly does in 'Beer' - I just read Arthur Taylor's good piece on CWBOB winner, Robinson's Old Tom, but no mention of the non-BC nature of the bottled version that is mentioned in the text, & shown in a pic & advert, underneath the tag-line "Supreme Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2005"

I just spotted (again in 'Beer') that Darwin Rolling Hitch is only £1.50 in Asda at the mo too, I must try it out, I enjoyed a few of their cask & bottled beers in Sunderland last month. Cheers MikeMcG.
