Tim Bright: Have loved your ‘Keep Craft Alive’ series, it’s so good you both should have a BBC commission for some beer programs.

Jonny Garrett is drinking a Redhouse by Bexley Brewery
Raisin and brown bread. Needed a little more bitterness and perhaps complexity in the malt bill.

C G: Tim B. Ditto! It was awesome, I learned a lot especially being from the States where we don’t see cask ale much if at all. Looking forward to next London visit to try some cask. Cheers!
Jonny Garrett is drinking a Classic Mild by Titanic Brewery
This was very very tasty. A hint of dark chocolate, lots of caramel, suggestion of some red fruits to lighten it.
Jonny Garrett is drinking a Lukas by Thornbridge Brewery
Such a great beer. Loads of honey sweetness but still dry and crisp - more so than the classics and all the better for it

Börje K: I’ve only had it in China and was not really impressed. Perhaps it didn’t survive the trip well… Other Thornbridge beers on tap here have been quite good though.

Mikey Mykey: Congrats on the book!
Ollie Hemmings: Wow that’s quite a beer, where did you acquire it from? I’ve been buying by these for a past few years ageing them at home.
Jonny Garrett: We are working on a series about cask ale with Fuller's so were lucky enough to be given a tasting across several vintages
Ollie Hemmings: Jonny G. Ah makes sense! Yeah I’ve been eagerly watching the series. I can’t see it on their website but that 1997 one use to be a few hundred pounds. Always really exciting to find the vintage ales on cask as well!
Ruth Bennett: I can recommend Leigh on Sea Brewery's Old Leigh Ale, I do love this style
Dick P: Nice video. Going to buy a lottery ticket now.
Absolutely delicious. A few ibu and a degree or two of gravity from perfection. Gorgeous aroma of tropical fruit and green, dank hop.
