Lmao as director of beer my first proviso was that there would be nothing brewed as a 'session' beer. Premium and above lad. Haha did you really have me pegged as slow strength beer kinda guy :lol:
Not really but so many new breweries cave in coz of the lower duty rate on the lower strength beers lol

yeah it moved over the river. tbh not many locals still drink it. the recipe was altered years back. i will if there's nothin nice in the shelf but mix a bottle 50/50 with smirnoff ice and it's a whole new level

first beer was hopped to high heaven, nice still though.

There's not many state's left without med canna laws now though, I think they've only got to do 8 or so and that's the whole of the USA compliant with state med laws.

They might as well just fucking get it over with now.
