So we managed to get our hands on the elusive Jumbo Records 40th Anniversary Ale. It was by pure fluke that my housemate's sister and her boyfriend came up for the weekend and she mentioned one of her favourite bars is in Leeds, The Reliance, and that's where we found it.
I had never actually heard of The Reliance, head off past Sandinistas part of town it was in a really random place to be fair but well worth the wander! A lovely airy and light bar with an arty feel. Relaxed atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows with wooden floor boards, and also 3 pumps on! They also do food, one of our company got a Sunday dinner which he said was really nice, but the portion wasn't massive for a tenner. They also do picky bits like olives, hummus and brownies.
So the Jumbo Records Ale is brewed by Revolutions Brewing Company which are a perfect match apparently all their ales are names relating to music (ie the Kraftwerk Braun Ale) but also their abvs are generally at either 3.3% o 4.5% (reflecting the two speeds turntables play at).
Pier my housemate had this to say
"Nice well rounder. Malty with a disappointing head"
which was sad to say but true, nice flavour to it though! I will be making that stroll up to that bar again though!
