What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Cheshire Cat]

Absolutely gutted just found out that my local homebrew shop is closing its doors for good, Joe the owner is retiring and there's no one to carry it on.

There's one in Bolton and another in St.Helens.

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Someone else posted about it, it's a great shame as it will be online only in no time at all, my nearest is over 40mls away now.

Wow suppose the internet is to blame but would rather nip to a shop

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

I'll check them out cheers, my local one was only a 5min walk away

I've been to the shop in St Helens (The Wine Loft) a few times, quite small but friendly and helpful. Didn't seem to have a lot of stock there last time I was in, but I bought a FV and a few hops.

Just had a Coopers Brew A IPA that I dry hopped with 50g of Simcoe pellets and not too shabby (needs to clear a tad tho') but only kegged it yesterday, now onto my AG IPA that I kegged Saturday and used Falconers Flight for the first time (no dry hop) very nice, it's quite hoppy but not in your face hoppy.

Biere de Garde, kegged for the last 6 weeks.

I only really bought the half size corny so I could keg all of my 27L ish size batches (to avoid having to carbonate in the fermentasaurus).
But thought a mobile keg option would be good for bbq etc

It's only holds 9L - not sure it's an appropriate size for a party at yours
