Went for a walk along the seafront at dawlish this lunchtime with the missus and our little boy, we watched the trains going by and went in the pub where i had a couple of Bay`s Breaker Ale (brewed in torquay just down the coast) it was a lovely pint so when we got back i checked the Bays website which gave little away about the malts and hops in the brew only that it used pale and some choc malt and english hops :hmm: I get my grain from the same malsters direct so i thought i`d brew an inspired ale, Nice and hoppy - just the way i like it

20g e.k.golding 90mins
20g fuggles 10mins
20g e.k.golding 10mins
