Change of pace..I was given a Glenfiddich box ..this one is rather tasty
I've found it in the UK for £9.20 per bottle I'm not due to do a beer order just yet but when I am I may treat myself to 1If things ever settle down and you find yourself on the west side of Michigan--it's quite nice by the lake, by the way, try a four-pack of this beer. Bourbon barrel-aged stout called Dragon's Milk

I mentioned last time that it's at Costco's and cheaper than in the regular stores. This is from the newest pallet they brought in. I have to say, I was really pleased that New Holland Brewing made a deal with them to sell their product. There's fourteen stores in Michigan? That's a lot of beer being sold! The purchaser for Costco gets two thumbs up.
Aaaah I love that place when I visited, shame you got a bad serviceI'm up in Buxton for a couple of days so I went to visit Buxton Brewery Tap Room. Good beer, terrible service! View attachment 31412from left to right:

The lemon meringue was the star of the show.

The word 'garbage' springs to mind. The label says it's strong and well hopped. I'd replace that with fizzy and bland. Aroma is of literally nothing. Mouth feel is thin, fizzy and slightly sour. It's an IPA but, in Ireland, that means it cannot be over 6% for fear that people won't buy it. So as a consequence, you end up with a weak beer, for the style.
This beer was given to me as a gift. I would never have bought this beer. Primarily because I have never heard of the brewery. Yet again, this reeks of a young brewery that is just jumping on the bandwagon and not really knowing wtf they are doing.
I was given another one of this breweries beers. A red ale. I won't be opening it tonight but I imagine it to be seriously crap. I will never drink another beer from this brewery as long as I live.
It's Holland, Michigan and I'm sure you're right about the riff.Is New Holland a place, or is that brewery name a riff on New Belgium?
I'm impressed that a micro brewery here got their product all the way there. I don't know what our dollar/pound are these days but Dragon's Milk isn't that good to pay 9 pounds. It's really good but not that good.found it in the UK for £9.20 per bottle
Failed how?testing out my second soured keptinis batch. surprisingly good for a failed brew day.

Too bad about the tasted.it cannot be over 6% for fear that people won't
well my braumeister sprayed half the wort all over the kitchen on the brew day. i tried taking a portion of the malt and baking it like the other batch and then i left the rest of the malt in the braumeister to keep mashing. it must have created a serious pressurized channel in the malt sleeve, it was going off like a sprinkler and sprayed out at least half the wort. only ended up with about 6l of wort after that so I soured it. Its pretty good, a bit over carbonated like a duvel but you can swirl it out to get it to your preference. very unique.Failed how?
