Ah Crossmyloof - had my Amarillo hops for this recipe delivered just today. First time I’ve used them but I’ve been really impressed with their delivery and comms so far.

Just a thought that if you do choose Goldings and Fuggles it’ll be a very different beer from the others using the Citrusy hops as per Paddy’s recipe. So most of the difference tasted between your beer and any others will be recipe driven and not process derived.

That’s great news - as we saw last month those beers ended up great after some long term storage - no matter what happens keep it in a cupboard and it’ll be fine eventually. however it sounds like you nailed it right first time! mare you going to try and brew the Golden ale for January? edit...

Nope. Much, much further east.

Not Madrid.

No, not Italy.

A good guess but wrong continent (I wish I’d thought of the double bluff) - but amazingly I’m sat across the river from there now, having a beer watching the crazy water festival unfold around me.

Ok here we go...

It’s Siem Reap! I’m literally there now - was on pub street last night!

I was thinking on about this last night and recall it was Whitbread Trophy Bitter not best bitter I had in mind - although it could be the same thing. I also found this photo of an old beer mat for Gold Label Lager following the links down a rabbit hole from @Nothernbrewer Funny how it sells...

Having grown up in Sheffield and remembering the exchange brewery working I’m fascinated by : AGB CBS6308/NCYC366 Brewer yeast, Yorkshire type (UK Sheffield, Tennant Bros (Exchange Brewery)) 11. Ale beer I wonder what it was used to produce. I’m assuming the Whitbread best I remember pulling in...
