They came via the Classic Car Show at Helmingham Hall. According to the blurb: “Our belief in simplicity and quality means that all our efforts are put into making great beer for you. We have fed your beer with live yeast to give it a fresh taste and natural sparkle.”

You have to treat the bottles with care because of the live yeast sediment. I bought:

  • Alburgh Bitter
  • Chestnut
  • Dark Oak
  • Porter

So far, we’ve only had the Alburgh Bitter which is going down pretty well. It’s an outstanding ale (considering that it’s from a bottle and draught always wins). It’s a golden, dry, slightly spicy taste with a hint of grapefruit.
