I do these every week, and send them out by email to our lovely customers, but it's been pointed out to me that I really ought to have some way of archiving them, so as of today I'll be posting the weekly beer blah that our customers get up on here as well. It's the one bit of the week's admin that I really enjoy doing, so I hope that people enjoy reading them as well.
As usual, feedback, abuse, corrections or free cakes like the TMS team get will all be appreciated.
Enjoy (or not, up to you really)
Greetings Beer Pickers!
Yes, it’s a little tart, but the boys at Buxton have been
busy with some fabulous new beers. There aren’t many of them about, but we have
some of their Black Sour which I’ve tried and is EPIC. We also have their
Saison, and most excitingly the first collaboration with To Ol from
Scandiwegia. These guys are some of the best brewers in Europe right now, and
let me tell you that along with some re-branding, Buxton is going to be the hot
name to watch over the next few months. Of course, we also have some casks as well,
and in that area they have a new ultra hoppy session ale called Jacobs Ladder,
which also has the benefit of donating some money to their local Mountain
Rescue team for every cask sold. Good Work Charitable fellas.
On the Tart theme, we also have The Kernel’s Biere de Table
this week to sit alongside the London Sour in your fridge, I’ve not had the
chance to try Evin’s take on Belgian Farmhouse Ale/Saison, but I know I want to
(Steve won’t, he hates sour beer….the big glass of water.) both are in classy
Stella-a-like 330ml bottles for your whoopin-an-a-hollerin’ pleasure.
If you need any more persuasion on the Continental side, we
found a pallet of ‘Claudia’ kegs that brewer Tom at Moor had tried to hide from
us, he failed and so we have the last 10 kegs of this year’s production
available to you, our lovely customers. As Jeremy Clarkson might say, “Some
people say this is the best beer that Moor have ever produced, all we know is
that it’s a bloody good Berliner Heffe-Weise.”
Anyway, you know I went to Manchester the other week? Well I
also got my hands on some new Kegs from Summer Wine as well, so this week we
have the second ‘Devil Loves’ series beer, this time it’s Chinook’s turn to do
the hopping. There are two more new keg beers to come from them in the next
fortnight, in the meantime we got some fresh supplies of favourites like Zenith
Pale, some Diablo and for the old people, Resistance Mild. (how is Saison
trendy, and Mild pensioner worthy? When they were both brewed for the workers
to quench their thirst? Does drinking like a Belgian farmer really make you
hip?)
I think Mild is a bit of a Black Country thing, and so is
Neck Oil from Beavertown. To help the workers kill that thirst, kindly Mr Plant and his Colonial friend Mr Byron have given us a chunky discount on their fine
Black Country Session Beer to pass along to you all.
Right, what else?
Oh yeah, loads of Casks from Anarchy, with some of their
great new Keg recipes making the transition to cask. We have Citra-Star (name
speaks for itself really, blonde and loads of Citra hops….) Crime Scene
American Amber, and Quiet Riot big NZ hopped IPA in the house.
That’s about it for this week, stock has been boosted on the
Tiny Rebel as well for those of you who missed out last week, so have a bog
weekend and go crazy!
Fin.
Justin and Steve.
