Yeah, it's a Brit/American version of a summer ale you'd find in an English pub in the summer. I really like the Amarillo hop. I fermented it with Safale-05, which is the only dry yeast I use. I think it's wonderful for American styles, and will make a nice lagerish style beer if fermented cool(arou...

I serve most of my beers on the engine. I'm a sicko for cask ale. I lived in Britain at one time and turned into a cask ale whore. I'm working on a Timothy Taylor Landlord clone at the moment that uses copious amounts of Styrian Goldings. That's going to be my next brew. So yes, I will no doubt invi...

Well, the Bitter is long gone. I have 4 gallons of my Belgian Dubbel. I live in Mission Viejo, so the odds of you drinking it are high.

I entered 2 beers that were world class. I didn't place at all. I suppose I'll need to wait and read how I scored before I decide if I'll enter again.

Later this week? You mean next week, as today is Friday??
