Brewing this week Kitchy Kazoo & Abyss

We’ve got a new beer and an old faithful brewing this week.

Abyss Stout 4.3% being the old faithful that you lot give full appreciation to.

The new one is a Pale ale with Citra & Motueka 4.3% which should be a nice easy drinker. If your Kazoo is Kitchy, then you need a Kitchy Kazoo!

Both available to order in cask from Monday, Abyss is already in stock.

Order in all the usual ways, cheers

Brewed this week – Tiller & Decade

Tiller Pin & Decade Pumpclips

Along with keeping Tiller Pin stocks in the right place, we tweaked the Pumpclip of Decade to reflect that it will be our 11th year trading at the end of August.

Tiller Pin 4.2% is a satisfying mix of American Citra, Chinook & Cascade hops.

Decade 4% is what tiller pin would be if we stopped buying American hops, instead the hops are from the UK and NZ with the added bonus of being made Gluten Free.

Indigo Warbler 3.7% Challenger hopped, Maris Otter brewed Session Bitter went into cask this week, so if you happen to like a lovely Brit-hopped Trad Bitter that we’d like to think echos the lovely Bluebird Bitter from Coniston….. Give us a shout and grab a Cask.

Order in all the usual ways, and btw, have you filled out our little buying habits survey? We will post the results once we have enough responses to make the data useful. Cheers

Our 11th Birthday Bar Day Sat 29th Aug

It’s only our 11th Birthday at the end of August – Saturday 29th August 12 til 8pm.

Along with our usual 6-Handpulled beers and a regular Keg lines, we’ll be rolling out the 6-Tap Mobile Keg bar so we can give you more choice.

Food is from Jay’s Pizza

All the usual stuff applies, we have sloped and level access but our toilet facilities may not be suitable for those less able. We are family and dog friendly, please be sure to keep both under control, ask us if those dogs need water and we’ll bring you a bowl over. We stock some lovely wines from Martinez from Bingley/Ilkley, Coke, Lemonade and Fruit Shoots. Cheers

Pubs & Bars – Survey – Where do you buy beer from?

We are interested to know where you are buying your beers from to help us evaluate the ways we sell and where we sell via, please select all options you currently use and leave us a comment to say which is used most. Thanks for your time.

Here’s the link to the very short survey – https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfb1mHhyc5yOhygz6jcU1ygKsY-JiZL7uPRRX4l149YpgnB3Q/viewform

We are trying to evaluate if we are missing out by not being on the Sellar platform, which feels currently like an expensive way to sell beer. But that said, if we need to carve out some time (My time) to do all the artwork to make it look nice, take photos, format all the imagery etc etc to get on the platform and make it look appealing, we’ll do it and hope we can break even on their costs.

We will, of course, share the survey results once we have a good enough sample size to make the data useful.

Cheers

When you make a lovely beer and no bugger buys it

I’m guessing this is a frustration that a lot of brewers have, you make something you think is Tasty AF but the speed of sale aka ‘the lack of it’ totally hinders getting it under drinker’s noses and across their tastebuds.

We would really like you all to give our ‘Little chance to dance’ 6.2% IPA a thorough drink, its got a lovely firm but smooth bitterness from oodles of American Centennial at the stary of boil, then more than amply hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Chinook & Idaho 7. Its Dry Hopped, unfined and vegan.

Little chance to dance is currently available in Firkins, Pins and Keykegs, give it a go, you won’t be dissapointed.

Another beer we’d really like your feedback on it the latest brews of Pixie Juice 5% Gluten Free Dry-hopped pale where we have re-jigged the recipe to include German Acidmalt which really brings out the juicy fruity hops and proper makes you mouth water for more. We have an offer starting on this beer cos we want folks to give us some feedback. Tested gluten free and also unfined and vegan.

Pixie juice is available in Firkins, Pins and Keykegs, please order in the usual ways.

Cheers

Eezee Is in Cask and Velvet Gloss & Pixie Juice brewing this week

We resurrected Eezee Session Pale 3.8% for a brew, and it’s tasting good.

Eezee Pumpclip

Brewing this week are Velvet Gloss Stout 5% and more Pixie Juice Gluten Free Pale 5% for Keg, Pixie is already in stock and available to order.

Pixie Juice and Velvet Gloss pumpclips

Also, have to had our very tasty brew of Little chance to dance 6.2% yet, we felt there was beginning to be more confidence in people wanting stronger beers so we brewed one, be sure to grab a Cask or Keg.

Little chance to dance in Cask or Keykeg

Cheers, order in all the usual ways.

Brewing this week – Tiller, Gaggle & Eezee

Tiller Pin, Gaggle Lager & Eezee Session Pale are all brewing this week, Tiller (Cask) & Gaggle (keykeg) are already in stock and available to order, Eezee will be in cask in about a week’s time. Please order in all the usual ways.

What we’ve not really told you is that for the last couple of brews of Gaggle Lager have been Gluten Free, and I’ve just sent the tweaked Keg clip artwork to the printer so it’s official and says what it is on the badge! This means each batch of Gaggle, or other beer that we call Gluten Free, will have had a sample sent away for Lab testing and we only release the beer once we know its passed the test.

Pixie Juice 5% GF Pale went into Cask and Keykeg along with a brew of Blonde 3.6% into Cask, Pixie juice will be available once the GF test comes back, about a week from now. We’ve also tweaked the Pixie Juice recipe, moved some hops from the Dry Hopping to the end of boil for a fuller flavour, tweaked the liquor (Brewing Water) treatment and added quite a chunk of German Weyermann Acidmalt which finally brings the J U I C E to the Pixie, we’d really like to know what you think of this iteration, Cheers.

This week is also the first part of our stock-build ahead of the amazing Beatherder Festival, you’ll find our beers around the festival site with the biggest range at the ‘Beyond’ bar where our 6-tap keg bar will be set up.

Please Rave Responsibly.

All the usual stuff applies, we have sloped and level access but our toilet facilities may not be suitable for those less able. We are family and dog friendly, please be sure to keep both under control, ask us if those dogs need water and we’ll bring you a bowl over. We stock some lovely wines from Martinez Wines, Coke, Lemonade and some juice boxes or Fruit Shoots. Cheers
