I am very happy to announce we have hit the 100th brew mark!
To Celebrate I have brewed an old recipe for a traditional Burton upon Trent style IPA. Brewing it was no mean feat as it required a 3 hour mash and a 3 hour boil (normally only 1hr each for my standard brews) all added up to a 15hr brewday.
Brewed using only the finest British Pale Malt and a massive charge of the Finest East Kent Golding hops from the Garden of England. Govinda should showcase what an IPA should be about a decent strength and a very firm bitterness from English Whole Flower Hops. There will be a very ltd amount available in cask with the majority being released in bottle. It will pay to buy some to store for a year or so as Govinda will change and mature for the better and is brewed to stand the ravishes of time & a life on the High Seas exploring the Tropics!

Tap at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark amber with a bubbly round head. The aroma is big woody resin orange citrus hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a heavy citrus fruit wood hop light alcohol palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Really glad I finally got to taste this. It’s big citrus hop which overpowers the beer a little but it’s nice to taste what my ancestors in India might have tasted all those years ago.

Bottle courtesy of dad (cheers dad), consumed at home Thursday 20th March 2014 Hazy amber beer with slim off-white head. Hoppy nose with a little cheese but that could be from my hand following me helping Loz with her cheeseboard at tha Horse & Groom, Caulcott. Hoppy in mouth but plenty of malt to smooth the way, quite bitter, Citrus zest, skin and pith, some cooked bitter morrocan lemons. Its very nice. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5
