Beer…the sparkling, frothy nectar of the gods has been around almost as long as mankind- beer has been traced back as far as 9000 BC- and has sustained us through the toughest and best of times in human history. Home brewed beer is made by farmers for sustenance, and brewed by connoisseurs for hobby. It’s really not too hard to make and if you feel so inclined, I suggest giving it a go... you might just surprise yourself.
My latest brew, a proper British style Pale Ale is as my ancestors brewed it malty with a good hop backbone, balanced and unfiltered; CAMRA would approve.
It pours a nice golden amber color and releases the aromas of stone fruits and wild flowers with a faint piney fragrance. The first sip has flavors of biscuits and toffee; it evolves into pears and peaches with only a ghostlike bitterness on the finish. It’s very refreshing with a surprising strength that will sneak up on you. I wish I could share some with you all.
Cheers!
