Being as it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Ray has picked out a bunch of excellent dark beers for his Raycommendations this week.

He’s nothing if not a little self-congratulatory. This week Ray recommends a beer he made, a beer from the US and a beer from an amazing Latvian brewery. Check out what he’s on about and why.

Mango fluff, legendary lambics and… Thai green curry beer?!? What has Ray been up to this week?

After last week’s colossal set of world class deliveries, it’s no great surprise that Ray had an absolute blast sampling as much as possible… responsibly of course.

This week he’s ventured (for the second time) into the world of Mead, picked out an absolute flavour bomb of an IPA and picked out a delightful barrel aged number.

Ray has taken an uncharacteristically sensible approach to this week’s selection of great beer.

The first November instalment of Ray’s Raycommendations is the product of Ray tucking into Marlobobo, Saint Mars and Pressure Drop!

On his return from Washington, Ray caught up on a fortnight’s worth of new beers and picked out his top three. Prepare yourself!

As the summer months draw to a close, the Ghost Whale team take a minute to reflect on the exceptional beers that stood out for them.

This week’s Raycommendations is a broad spectrum. Red, green and black beers from a Belgian classic to a Swedish modern classic!

This week is certainly the ‘is this even beer anymore’ edition of Ray’s Raycommendations.
