Not just any oldContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Throwback Oak Conditioned Vintage Stock Ale (5.3% ABV) #Vintage #StockAle”

TEH On Tour – 3 Locks Brewing Co
Hi there fellow beer lovers, Last weekend we donned our disguises and hopped the noth south boarder to London to catch up with friends. While good company was always going to be the main event, it would have felt downright irresponsible not to sneak in a little beer-based research while we were there. Tucked justContinue reading “TEH On Tour – 3 Locks Brewing Co”
