The Friday Question

Gotcha! I thought everybody would go on the high side for this one! I asked how many kilderkins we’ve filled this year (we serve the Best Bitter and ESB from them @ The Ale House) and if we filled as many as some of you guessed our production would have outstripped this brewery long ago! You have to remember, these cask products are still a niche market compared to regular draft beer. We in fact filled 18 kilderkins which is a little over 388 gallons of beer. That makes  Brandon-Millhouse the winner with his guess of 30. Congratulations, you get to come and choose a couple of bottles from our secret stash!

For this weeks question the prize is a growler fill of the soon to be released Strongman Pale Ale (batch #2, 8.6% abv with a reformulated hop profile) and an Oliver t-shirt. The question is this … to celebrate the forthcoming birth of my son, Jacob I will raise a glass of which beer? In the case of a tie I will draw one correct answer at random to be the winner. Please post your answer via the comment section below, good luck.

So, sport fans, as you may know, the greatest sport in the World (yes, it is, just live with it!) is soon to be dominating the airwaves with ESPN broadcasting every World Cup game live, oh yeah. Team USA and England kick-off their respective bids for glory against eachother on June 12th. your local English brewer/footie fan couldn’t let the World Cup pass without brewing a beer to celebrate this most glorious of World events. I present to you Bulldog Bitter.

It’s a classic English Best Bitter, 4.3% abv thirst quenching and sessionable, brewed with Halcyon Pale Ale Malt, Crystal Malt, Roasted Barley and Malted Wheat, medum bodied with a balanced hop profile (Kent Goldings and English Fuggle), in short, the perfect pint to sup while you’re watching “the beautiful game” (or any other time for that matter)! It will be on special ($3 pints) during every game screened @ The Pratt Street Ale House, so come join us. It will be on draft and on cask (limited availability).

Have a great weekend, cheers.

Steve
