So good. I'm going to stick my neck out and say this is exactly what PR tasted like back in the day. All caramel malts and beautiful chestnut coloured pour. Very early casualty today. Cask will never die, not on my watch.

Newtown Brewery: Thanks, Dave D., we'll take 'acceptable' as the smallest brewer there. ;-)
Dave Daniels: Newtown Brewery I'm not a bitter drinker/fan, but even following a few "stupid" beers, it was very palatable indeed. My two friends were of the same opinion, too. 👍
Newtown Brewery: Thanks for your kind comments Dave. My wife and I where disappointed as it had sold out when we popped-in for a QC check.
Paul Goodman: Newton Brewery To be clear my comment was aimed at Dave given (as he says) such a beer is not his usual tipple, especially when so many of his preferred types were on offer. No slight against your beer was ever intended, indeed I'll try it soon.
Newtown Brewery: Paul Goodman, no offence taken. I was just pleased that it stood-up against some of the hop-bombs and Impy Stouts on the day. Cheers

Brewed especially for the Sportsman beer festival. Malty and fruity. Would like to add that it was a fantastic beer festival with a really interesting selection and getting those two from the Orkneys was a big highlight for me !

This was always a good recipe and for the most part brewed very well. This though, is certainly the best version I've had in the last thirty or forty years. Hope it carries on.

Newtown Brewery: Glad to hear that my Nano brewery can produce a version just as good as the larger breweries over the years. It will be brewed again....
