Christmas Real Ale Production
Brew a Classic Christmas Ale
26 – 28 October 2012
Break Highlights:
- A ‘robust’ tutored tasting of dark and old ales
- Opportunity to brew a 6% Christmas ale
- Chance to name the beer
- A bottle sent to you in time for festive season
Introduction:
It is now expected that breweries produce a special beer for the festive season. The only problem with a lot of these beers is that they are very good at naming them, but have forgotten how to make the fantastically port-like old ales of yesteryear. We will try to recreate the taste of Christmas in a glass.
