Favourites

My favourite ale of all time was Red Fox from the Fullers brewery. It was a seasonal beer coming out every autumn but sadly, last year it didn't appear.

From what I recall, it was brewed using toasted oats which resulted in a delicious toffee flavoured ale. Sadly missed...

I'm off for a swift one this evening so I'll let you know if I get to try anything new!

Buntingford 92 Squadron

Well that intro may have been a bit vague but to be honest I'm just going to make this up as I go along and see where we go with it.

First recommendation is a bottled beer called 92 Squadron from Buntingford Brewery. This is a deliciously malty 4.5% abv beer - it uses Amarillo & Columbus hops and produces a malty, bitter taste with subtle spice and citrus. Although I'm biased because they're local to me, this is one of my favourite bottled beers at the moment.

Check at the website at www.buntingford-brewery.co.uk . Steve Banfield from the brewery writes an entertaing blog - who knows, one day my own blog may be as funny.

More tomorrow - cheers!

One man's quest to enlighten the world. Want to try new ales, bottled beers and the like? perhaps you would like to hear about the crazy goings on and the strange people you'd like to meet at a local beer festival. Which pubs and bars serve the best range of Belgian beers?

What new breweries are out there? Who's the latest small brewer to be bought out by a major? Do you care if your local pub closes down? perhaps you've even tried brewing beer yourself. Let's talk about it - back soon...
