Hi all.
Another weekend hoves into view after a crazy week here at
Liberty, and as usual we have a line-up of great beers for you.
We have Tiny Rebel refreshing stocks of ‘Hank’ which seems
to be the one that everyone wants at the moment, as well as a few other great
beers. I’ve been chatting with the guys, and we are due some more new beers
from the Welsh maestros soon, despite their newfound global fame with an
appearance on SKY’s ‘Soccer AM’ and generally keeping their nut down (I’m sure
it’s on ‘Youtube’ if you missed it, far better than ex-Presenter Lovejoy
bigging up fantastic beer and food matching like ‘Fosters Gold and Black
Truffle Risotto’ on the seamlessly commercial ‘Let there be Beer’)
Last week I visited Red Willow up in Macclesfield, as well
as Buxton and another couple of new suppliers who will be coming in over the
next month, one famous and one completely new. At Red Willow I helped Toby brew
a new Wheat Beer with a little Lemon Thyme that will appear in a few weeks, but
for this week we have a tidy collection of their other products for you to
enjoy, including another of the ‘Faithless’ series beers.
Hardknott are back in as well, nothing new I’m afraid but we like their
beers very much and as long as we keep
Dave brewing rather than producing more content for his infamous blog, then we’ll
be happy. Lux Borealis is great, and if you want a proper food matching tip
rather than ‘Greene King IPA goes well with Lobster Thermidore’ then the rather
lovely ‘Cool Fusion’ goes exceptionally well with Southeast Asian and North
African spiced dishes, Harrisa Wings especially.
Lastly, I have a feedback request. Can those of you who had
the Black Orchid beers the other week drop us a couple of lines about your
feelings on them, and also anyone who is interested in Green Hop beers now that
the hop harvest is in….I have one from Moor coming already, but will order some
more if there is an interest. We missed out on Gadds green hop last year which
was disappointing, and I’m sure I can find others if the demand is there.
Cheers
Justin and Steve.
