One pint of Wibblers American Dark!

F***ing delicious!!!! :hat:
 
Sure is!! And it's well worth seeking out. Trouble is I'm driving. I would happily sit here and polish off a good few of them.

Very, very good beer. :thumb:

Got to see if my Green King place has got it. I bet it hasn't...
It was brewed on they pilot plant and will be available as guest beers in Greene King establishments . . .I'll have to have a wander around my local ones to see if any have it . . . Bet Not, being as we are so far away from Suffolk :(

Oh was that Alemans recipe that wibblers are brewing for Green King.
Actually it is Greene King Brewing a Wibblers Beer ;)

Looks damn nice though . . . Just a touch too dark for the original intention which was an Irish Red Ale, but those red notes are certainly there. .. .Who would have thought that a sack of Roast Barley in 550Kg would contribute so much colour??
 
The only Greene King place near me is a 'Hungry Horse', but I've emailed them to see. I'm a similar distance from Suffolk :(

Would be interesting to hear your verdict on the GK brew.

The picture doesn't do it justice, Tony. Just a quick snap on the iPhone.

Held to the light is a beautiful deep dark red. Maybe darker than an Irish red but still it is actually red rather than a hint of red if you get my drift.

I would happily have 40l of that in stock!

It wouldn't stay "in stock" long mind...
