@Fr_Marc Nice, what yeast would that be? I know Hook Norton has been around for a while and might have a unique strain...
Reminiscence. Just a few:
One of the best times of our young married life - working for Goose Island Brewing Co. at the time, receive a call from none other than Michael Jackson himself telling me, while I was cip'ing the cellar, that we'd won the "world beer tour" web contest my wife had entered us in;
2+ weeks in England including opening multi-course beer dinner with MJ himself and Mark Dorber at the White Horse, London - meal prepared by Mark's gifted wife, beers selected by MJ;
An incredibly memorable evening with two old venerable gents in Blackfriar's - St. Paul's visible from the street, they'd retired from the paper across the street. Recounted the incredible horrors of the Blitz, and the grit showing in their eyes and faces, well - memorable.
A week in Hook Norton where I spent considerable time at the brewery and drooled over the Victorian tower setup - and dray team at the time, I believe Ted and Phil, though memory is dodgy;
Drinking with so many from parts close and far, including the beer writer for the Financial Times and local lorry men, at the Pear Tree in Hook Norton run by such a kind husband and wife team;
Having a pint or several with my wife in the back of the Reine Deer Inn, where portraits of Cromwell and Charles I hung glowering towards each other;
Warwick. My background (one of them) is in western European history and national political development and it goes without saying Warwick held a deep place for me, personally.
Ranging further up including some good times with a big bull of a brewer, Ian someone, name eludes me, at the Titanic Brewery in Stoke-on-Trent.
My son shares a similar passion for history, and love of the traditional pub, to the extent he's experienced one here. Badly miss England and really want to bring him back. He was, after all, conceived in London.
