VIPA (Tatton Brewery)

Name: VIPA
Label: "Real Cheshire Ale - Big bold British-hopped pale ale"
Brewery: Tatton Brewery
ABV: 6.3%

Tasting notes: "Our 5th anniversary brew is a strong pale ale, balancing exotic fruit character with a modern British hop aroma. Brewed with British and European malts, Cheshire honey, and hopped with Bramling Cross and UK Cascade"

Game: More Assassin's Creed figurines, this time we have Blackbeard The Legendary Pirate and Edward Kenway The Assassin Pirate. Both stand together to form a unique diorama. Both figures look pretty cool, Blackbeard being quite rare nowadays, expect to pay around £60 - £80. Kenway is still knocking about so expect to pay around £40 - £50.

Rating: 8/10

Suffolk Blonde (St Peters)

Name: Suffolk Blonde
Label: "Tropical aromas of bananas & cloves - a delicate, beautifully balanced wheat beer"
Brewery: St. Peter's Brewery for Sainsburys
ABV: 4.7%

Tasting notes: "A traditional ale brewed with Hallertau hops and a proportion of East Anglian wheat to give delicious yeasty flavours typical of German wheat beers."

Game: We've not played any new games for a bit... gaming burnout possibly so today we're reviewing something gaming related but not actually a game! It's the official Ubicollectibles Evie Frye The Intrepid Sister figurine and Jacob Frye The Impetuous Brother figurine. These are purchased separately but can be combined to form the diorama of “The Wise and Wild Twins”. The level of detail on these is pretty great, from the rook to the dead rat to the upturned bottle of elixir. Jacob is still quite easy to get hold of (prices from around £35) but Evie is a lot rarer so expect to pay over £150 to complete the set.

Rating: 8/10
