Big beers are excellent for storing away though & only improve with age. I (try) to put most of mine away for a year before sampling them, although I might succumb to temptation before that time!

SM & in particular Tiktok has ruined the Peak District. Unfortunately the days of hidden gems are dead & gone (until the Tiktokers move on)😔

Our xmas homebrew club is on Sunday 15th December.
Join us in the Sheffield Tap, 2pm onwards.
Expect some big beers!🍺

Excellent day out at Amity brewery with Leeds homebrew club.
The quality of beers was exceptional & they well deserved their overall win.
We managed to bag best beer though with an Abbey Quad🍻🏆

Mark E Smith (the master contrarian) had his number from the start
