The judges at the GBBF gave it a 43 out of 50. The only improvement they suggested was a bit of dry hop, which I also thought it needed. Next time, I might possibly dry hop for 3 to 4 days with whole hops. == Awards == ''' Great British Beer Festival 2025''' 1st - Session B...")

The grist is designed to be relatively rich and bready, without any crystal notes. Any of the old school C hops work well, together with something like Citra/Galaxy to add a slightly more modern fruity touch. == Awards ==...")

It is a fairly standard recipe for this style. The Golden Promise and the Aromatic Malt (suggested by Mean Brews) are included in smallish amounts to contribute subtle complexity in the malt profile. The intention was to complement the Belgian yeast and noble hops. This rec...")

I made it because when we think about historic British beers we often overlook pale styles in favour of porters, stouts and strong brown ales. And it also looked like it might be a good summer thirst-quencher! The recipe originates from 1868 when 'mild' meant fresh and 'light' referred to the colour so it's completely un...")

The current version has been brewed 3 times now and I'm pretty much settled on it now. The name is a reference to the second ever Tom & Jerry episode from 1941 (but it was the 1st time where they were given those names). == Awards == '''Welsh Nation...")

Czech Amber Lager, of which I've only ever tasted homebrewed versions. This was a stovetop brew using a coolbox mash tun and stockpots. Those of keen iconoclastic bent will note the only thing Czech about this beer is a few grams of hops. == Awards == '''Hayesenbrau 2025 (Mash Paddle Brewery, Bermondsey, London)''' 1...")

This beer sat in the FV for about 6 weeks before packaging as I wanted it to take its time and ensure it fully cleaned up after all that work. It was lagered for around 3 months before its first competition and it defi...")
