What is your Brewery name and where did it come from? ShinDigger. We started brewing a couple of years ago when we were around 21. We were shocked by how many people our age were put off ale because of a perceived ‘old man’ image. We wanted to challenge this perception by building our company […]

For me honey beer is a pretty hard beer to get right, If you say a beer has honey in, it needs to taste of honey but not be overly sweet and still taste like beer, rather than drinking a pint of sweet malty water or not being able to taste the honey. For me […]

Hawkshead very kindly sent me 3 of their new smaller batch beers, the IPA didn’t last very long at all and it certainly was a cracker, packed full of big juicy hops and ever so moreish, enough so that I bought a couple of bottles from Open All Hours in Keswick as the Hawkshead online […]
