By the look of it, Partizan's still using much of it. <br /><br />Yes, I believe there's a fair bit of money behind Fourpure, most of that kit has been added in the last year or two though, as their sales have ramped, so presumably it was paid for by selling beer!BryanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550482701819539081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-65369071433335268312016-01-23T18:24:15.361+00:002016-01-23T18:24:15.361+00:00Your last comment Ed sums up the BBM for me.

Having to queue to use inadequate comfort” facilities, is not my idea of fun.<br /><br />I’m glad I did the BBM, but once was enough.<br /><br />ps. I agree with your summation regarding the brewing kit in the various breweries, although beerwise, we must have caught Anspach & Hobday on an off-day; definitely a case of “London Murky!”<br /><br />U Brew and Southwark Brewery weren’t there, three years ago, when we did the mile.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-76515508662725839862016-01-23T11:27:47.553+00:002016-01-23T11:27:47.553+00:00Everywhere was busy, and not all the beers were dr...Everywhere was busy, and not all the beers were dreadful.

Usually in the background though, I'd never had a beer that tasted like quavers before. <br /><br />It comes from aged hops. Over time oxidation forms isovaleric acid which has a cheesy flavour.

It just tasted horrible.</i><br /><br />On behalf of the beer lovers of the world, thanks for taking one for the team. Or several for the team, by the sound of it.<br /><br />Still, I'm impressed by your nose for these horrors. All I ever taste in off beers is acetic acid - I've never had a 'cheesy' beer, apart from the Stilton Porter I had a fest one year.Philhttp://ohgoodale.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
