I started doing some gardening work in the last few days and I was hoping I could carry on but it seems the weather has different plans.
It's not all bad though, some plants seem to show off their indifference towards the cold and snow.
So now, we get to the 'beering' part. Had another brewing session round my friends house, which was great fun, as usual!
And as it's impossible to brew beer without drinking some, I had a pretty special one!
This is Wild Beer Co's Tepache which I got as a present from @massive-pop. I like my sours so I was excited about this one!
I'll copy the official blurb here :" We have taken this concept and created a strictly grown up version, a spiced pineapple beer. Our Tepache is a light brown beer with a grain bill that includes traditional Mexican maize. It’s tart and funky from our own wild yeast cultures, and is spiced with cinnamon and cloves, yet finishes with a residual sweetness from pineapple and a touch of lactose. "
It's cloudy with a funky as hell smell. Makes you think of fruit gone bad but man... the taste, it's beautiful. Sweet, tart, sour, spicy, all these flavours swirling around, mmmmhmmm.
Wild Beer co is a new brewery, focusing on beers made with wild yeasts and alternative fermentation techniques; I am looking forward to try their future creations.
Alright... cheers for following along guys!
