Its been an interesting few weeks down in Dorset. I got a mention from Nigel Barden on Radio 2 for my Smokin' Bock paired with hay roasted veal, which resulted in a number of texts from my mum and also a few extra sales too. The plan is to bottle the May limited edition 7% Belgian blond Grand Cru in the same style packaging but using a different high alcohol tolerant yeast to condition the beer.
I also did a 'meet the brewer' event at our local Weatherspoon's which was rammed thanks to free beer samples of Equinox, Mutiny, Jurassic fermented with saison yeast and a sample cask of the beetroot beer appearing at our brewery tap over the Easter bank holiday. Many thanks go to John the manager for helping to organise this and get the word out and also the local CAMRA crew who turned out en masse.
The SIBA South West beer festival is in 2 weeks time at Tuckers Maltings in Newton Abbott, will do my best to make an appearance and try a few tasty beers from our local friends/rivals. Hopefully I'll also be able to discuss the trauma of brewing high volumes of strong Belgian style beer on our kit with our malt supplier, more on that next time.
