– Brewdog ‘Bitch Please’ launch.
On Monday 23rd we held our first event. A tasting session with one of our favourite breweries, Brewdog. We arranged to open especially on a Monday, the evening was conducted by the breweries rep Josie Ludford. With just over 60 people sampling some outstanding beer, one of which had never been tasted in public before!
The event was great, really good atmosphere and wonderful beer, from the queue outside, to the penguins locking us in, we loved it. A special thanks to Josie and Brewdog for making the event possible.
Hopefully this has wet your appetite for future events as we will be hosting many more. Think beer tastings, meet the brewers and a beer school over the next few months.
Watch this space.
– Becoming a Microbrewer / By Jay Krause
I got into brewing in my mid-twenties, brewing at home at first as I was short of cash and wanted to continue drinking decent beer. The learning curve is steep; I chose to get straight into all grain brewing and all the science surrounding it. The more I read, the more I understood. The more I understood, the more I practiced. The more I practiced, the better the results. I also discovered that what is needed more than just theory and scientific knowledge, was the confidence to do things differently and attempt to hypothesise the outcome, to explore different beer styles and use strange ingredients. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it failed, but the knowledge I gained was invaluable; I simply loved brewing, and the desire was there to brew on a larger scale.

Its that time of year where a pint of refreshing real cider goes down a treat. We thought we would beef up our cider stock with something great.
