Steve K: It's a collab with Hook Norton, Everards and Holts. They are all 175 years old. Search the beer name and Morning Advertiser.

Same as the red ale I had before this, I hadn’t drank a mild for quite a while. This was very good though and lovely and smooth to sup. Would have been perfect to drink a few pints of this whilst sat next to a log fire in the pub in winter.

First red ale I’ve drank for a bit and was nice enough. Malty as you would expect but smooth and easy to drink.

One from lunchtime. Flat, thin and generally just a little bit bland really. Didnt have much to it at all.

I’m pretty sure this is a collaboration between Everards and Hook Norton, may need to propose an edit on this one. Nice enough and left a lingering bitter aftertaste to it.
Steve K: There are two more collabs to come this year.
Michael Louth: Steve K. Thanks for the info. 👍🏼
Steve K: Now worries. I learnt something too.
Light and refreshing after drinking a mild. The fruity taste was quite subtle but was drinkable and would have been something to session on.
