An eclesiastical beatdown.
The Bishop challenges the Friar. There can only be one winner. The Bishop dusts off his Miter and the Blackfriar is vanquished. No, I haven’t lost the plot, it’s just a round about way of saying that since we started brewing the Bishop’s Breakfast, sales of the Blackfriar Stout have been slow so I thought it was time for a change. Out of the ashes comes the Three Spires Ale (hello Coventry) , a hoppy little Golden Ale, 5% a.b.v. (or thereabouts) which will be replacing the Blackfriar on our nitro tap as soon as the current supply of Blackfriar is done. I’m brewing it tomorrow. It’ll also be an excellent candidate for casking so look out for firkins of it in a couple of weeks. I’ll post updates on the Oliver Ales facebook page.

I like that that even though one theological beer is put into hiatus; the new one is still tied to the church(es).
