Golden Pig

This beer comes from the Country Life Brewery in Bideford, North Devon. Apparently it uses the equipment from the Lundy Island brewery. You can find out more about it at http://www.countrylifebrewery.com/

It is 4.7% ABV, golden in colour and very hoppy to the taste. The label says it uses crystal and wheat malts and that the main hops used are Challengers.



I enjoyed this and would definitely like to have it again sometime

This is what 60 beers looks like

Sixty beers is a lot! This is me standing next to the five boxes, which make a tower that must be over five feet tall. No wonder its going to take me months to get through this lot!

Welcome!

Tomorrow, I start my seventh decade on the planet. Today, I had a knock on the door and a man from Federal Express announced that he had five packages for me. What could it be? He brought them into the house and I signed for them, then examined them closely. They were marked 'Fragile - Handle With Care' and originated from Tuckers Maltings.

They contained 60 different bottles of beer and were from my five siblings, to commemorate the completion of my sixth decade - sixty beers for sixty years.

Over the next several months, I shall be sampling these beers and recording my tasting notes here on this blog. If you want to share this journey, then make sure you visit this place regularly over the coming months. Comments would of course be very welcome.
