Ilkley Brewery Brews ‘THE GOOD STUFF’ for Great Yorkshire Beer Book



Will be looking out for this book from Leigh Linley, a member of the British Guild of Beer Writers. 
He's visited and interviewed a selection of Yorkshire’s breweries to tell their story and showcase their most successful beers (and it's Leigh's first book). 

 Ilkley brewery have supported the release via a beer entitled 'The Good Stuff' named after Leigh’s blog.  It's a 5% Witbier made with lemongrass and lime. 





 The Great Yorkshire Beer book launched last week at The York Tap: www.yorktap.com

Carnivale Brettanomyces (Brett Will Eat Everything)

Image
A festival dedicated to the funkier side of beer launched today at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam.  I caught up with Jan from De Bierkoning bottleshop to talk about his love for these organisms with funny names like Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Acetobactor, Torulaspora, Kluyveromyes and Debaryomyces.  Ya dig? Q: Carnivale Brettanomyces "A beer festival dedicated to Brettanomyces  and other wild things"   - please can you share with us how your  festival idea came around, how long you've been going and where the  festival is based? This will be the 4th episode. Number one took place in 2012. It was a one day event back then.  As many things it sprouted during a beery conversation with Elaine Olsthoorn, staff at Bierproeflokaal In de Wildeman . I'm myself am a long time employee at De Bierkoning bottleshop. At In De wildeman they have yearly events, putting certain styles, or countries, in the spotlights. The German be...

Just google the online footage and make you own mind up. Still can't beat his debut LP Brown Sugar for the memories. Gregory Porter - a voice that pulls you in, lyrics that illustrate directly in the mind's eye -' 1960 What?' killin it with uptempo jazz dance licks, he can pu...

On the Edge Brewery launch, Sheffield

Image
Reading about a half barrel brewery plant set up in someone's home which produces the likes of a smoked Marzen style, double IPAs and oak conditioned beer sounded like a launch worthy of a Saturday's morning stroll. On the Edge Brewery had put on their very own beer festival at the old junior school off London Road to celebrate their launch and after only an hour of opening, there looked to be numerous people with the same idea as me. With 8 beers available and only pocket change I had to be selective over what to try and stumped for the Citradel at 5.5 per cent first; which was a nice pale tropical hoppy beer using Citra hops. A popular American hop and Oakham brewery do my favourite using this hop for their wonderful Citra. Another I sampled on the day was the smoked Marzen....I think you have to really like malty smoky flavours to dig this, which to be honest isn't really me. I keep trying, the most expensive try to date being the Norwegian brewery Nogne 's 'H...
