From The Brewmaster

Produced in conjunction with the forthcoming Oxford Companion to Beer – featuring 160 experts covering more than 1,100 subjects – and brewed by Garrett Oliver (Editor-in-Chief), Horst Dornbusch (Associate Editor) and Thomas Kraus-Weyermann (writer and master maltster), The Companion is a “wheat wine” made with 55% new wheat floor-malts from Weyermann Maltings.

 

Look for both Companions in September.

 
 
 
 

Join the Order of Osiris

The secretive and powerful Order of Osiris cask club begins in September, meeting every Friday at 5pm, an hour before the masses descend upon The Brewery to taste the cask of the week. Other ethereal delights are included with membership, but you must refer to the Mission of the Order to learn how to join.
