For me this is right on the coffee/dark chocolate line. It's thinner in the mouth than Guinness but definitely has a more in the way of flavour! I'd happily have a pint of Murphy's when out and about. Probably just the one though. #BskyBeer

On my way down to the Livingston v The Rangers game. Can see it far enough. 😑 However, I did enjoy a couple of cans of Juice Shack Session NEIPA from Brewdog earlier. A decent beer! 🍻 #BskyBeer

A pint of Jaipur from Thornbridge Brewery, followed by a Schiehallion Lager by Harviestoun Brewery then an 80/- from Belhaven Brewery. Monday evening beers? I could get used to this! All in The NewYearField, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #BskyBeer

🍺 New Wave Hazy IPA from Fierce Beer This caught my eye in Aldi earlier. I might've had it before but can't remember off the top of my head? It's a good beer to wrap up the weekend with! Refreshing orange and peachy flavours with merely a hint of bitterness. Good stuff! #BskyBeer

A couple of wee cans from the back of the cupboard before the Livingston game earlier today. Both enjoyable, unlike the football. 😩 #BskyBeer

🍺 Ice Breaker Pale Ale from Greene King 🌍 The Livingston Inn, Livingston Village. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 First time trying this and I quite liked it! There's toffee on the nose and tropical fruits all through it with a squeeze of grapefruit that lingers. I'd happily have this again. #BskyBeer

🍺 Vienna Pale from Pilot Beer 🌍 The Devil's Advocate, Advocate's Close, Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A pretty decent, mildly malty, pale ale. #BskyBeer

🍺 Delirium Red 🌍 Mortal Kocktail, Craig's Close, Cockburn St, Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A fine half pint of this 8% cherry beer that's full of lovely, slightly soured, dark berry flavours. #BskyBeer

🍺 Cold Town Schwarzbier 🌍 Cold Town House, Grassmarket, Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Goes down like a refreshing lager but tastes like the crust of a plain loaf (think mothers pride) with an ongoing hint of coffee in the aftertaste. Glad I tried it but one will do. #BskyBeer

Growling Dog Tropical IPA by Nethergate Brewery, Suffolk. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The Alexander Graham Bell, George Street, Edinburgh. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 An absolutely wonderful beer. Tropical flavours, thick, smooth and halfway into my second can (because the Belhaven 80/-is off) I'm already feeling the 7.5% abv! #BskyBeer

A very smooth and juicy Playlist Hazy IPA from Siren Craft Brew. Cheers! 🍻 📺 2026 World Darts Championship Final 🎯 #BskyBeer

Happy New Year to you and yours! 🍻 #BskyBeer

A cold pint of Belhaven Best, in Rab's Bar, Deans, Livingston. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Aw the best when it comes! 🤝🏻 #BskyBeer

1st half, half time & 2nd half line up for Hibernian v Heart of Midlothian live on the box. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #BskyBeer

Shneider Weisse Tap 7 Original Weissbier - 5.4% ABV More dark than amber with a strong nutty flavour. I'm not sure it's one I'll have again. #BskyBeer

WineXBeer Gums Sour from Vault City in collaboration with Redmonds of Dennistoun, @thebeerhive.bsky.social and Craft Metropolis. I laughed on tasting this! It's exactly like liquidated wine gums! All the flavours are there - Black, red, green, yellow! It's a wonderful sour beer! 👏🏻 #BskyBeer

Nipped into @thebeerhive.bsky.social, in Edinburgh, this afternoon and picked up a couple of bottles from @kernelbrewery.bsky.social I've not tried before. This Nectaron Pale Ale is a proper tasty beer! It's very smooth going down with a very long fruity grapefruit aftertaste! 👌🏻 #BskyBeer

Camden Hells Lager, Camden Town Brewery Wingstop, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Absolutely required to attempt to appease the, albeit tasty, heat from the Mango Habanero Boneless Wings! #BskyBeer

West 4 Premium Session Lager, West Beer Brewery 6 Buds Beerhouse, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A nice, clean, refreshing lager! #BskyBeer

Honeycomb Pale Ale (4% abv) , Seven Brothers Brewing Co. 6 Buds Beerhouse, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This tastes exactly like sticky toffee pudding. Might just have the one. 🥴 #BskyBeer

McTominay

This is great! 👌🏻 Perfect to accompany a Pie Sports Kebab Pie and Newcastle Utd v Athletic Bilbao. #BskyBeer

Well, that's the last two beers from Lidl's Oktoberfest box. They should do this more often! 😄 #BskyBeer

Friday. #BskyBeer

I really like this! Strong pineapple, orange and stone fruit flavours with little to no bitterness! 👌🏻 🍺 Hazy Jane New England IPA 📍 The NewYearField, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #BskyBeer

Two more quality German beers from the Lidl Oktoberfest box. Only two left! 😱 #BskyBeer

Murphy's Irish Stout with the wee thingy in the can. Only a hint of coffee which suits me. Nice! #BskyBeer

The Oktoberfest box from Lidl keeps on giving! 🍺 #BskyBeer

Next up from the Oktoberfest box from Lidl. Wunderbar! #BskyBeer

🍺 Guinness 🌍 Toby Carvery, Carlisle ⚽ Carlisle 3-1 Hartlepool 🌍 Brunton Park, Carlisle #BskyBeer

Livingston v Rangers

The next two beers from the Octoberfest box from Lidl. These are a right good pair of beers! 🇩🇪 Cheers! 🍻 #BskyBeer

First of ten beers from the Octoberfest box from Lidl. A sweet and malty beer with a nice smooth feel. A good start! #BskyBeer

A day for watching live sports and drinking fine beers! Each one a cracker with La Chouffe my pick of the bunch! #BskyBeer

Didn't like this 'milk stout' at all, unfortunately. The nutty roast flavour was there in abundance but the paper thin mouth feel and excessive carbonation was really off putting. #BskyBeer

Iron Brew, by Fierce Beer, is fantastic! It tastes just like the real deal. There's no greater compliment! #BskyBeer

This Clockwork Tangerine Session IPA, from Brewdog, was pleasant enough to drink. I'd hoped for a wee bit more from the orange but it failed to make an appearance. #BskyBeer

FT: Livingston 1-2 Hearts

🍺 Growling Dog Tropical IPA 🌍 The Standing Order, George Street, Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ooft! Big 7.5% strong whisky vibes! But nowhere in the blurb does it say so?! Maybe just me but with the wiff of whisky but this was lovely! #BskyBeer

🍺 Alpacalypse Session IPA, Salt Beer Factory, Shipley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🌍 CafeBar 1962, Almondvale Avenue, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A pleasantly refreshing session IPA with a chilled tropical taste! Just the thing to soothe my croaky throat after cheering Livingston to a 3-1 win over Falkirk. ⚽ #BskyBeer

🍺 Tropical Pale Ale, Stewart Brewing, Loanhead 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🌍 The NewYearField, 1 Almondvale Avenue, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 An enjoyable pint with a nice pineapple and mango flavour! #BskyBeer

🍺 Princes St Pineapple Cider 🌍 Edinburgh Cider Co, Edinburgh Looks fantastic, even smells fantastic, but tastes like flavourless stale carbonated water. A big disappointment! I've got to assume it was off as there's no way a drink this poor can be commercially viable. #BskyBeer

🍺 Old Jock Scotch Ale 🌍 Broughton Brewery, Broughton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ooh, now this nice! There's a pleasing fizz and lots of ongoing dark toffee flavours! Enjoying this with Hearts v Aberdeen on the box. #BskyBeer

🌍 The NewYearField, 1 Almondvale Avenue, Livingston 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍺 Leffe Blonde, Belgian Blonde Ale #BskyBeer

🌍 Lost in Leith Bar & Fermentaria, 82 Commercial Street, Leith, Edinburgh 🍺 Hazy Pale (pale ale) by Campervan Brewery 🍺 Leith Juice (session IPA) by Campervan Brewery 🍺 Extra Black (nitro porter) by Campervan Brewery #BskyBeer
