We also sampled Hopping Toad 4.1% from Castor Ales in Peterborough, Mosaic Gold 4.2% from Coastal Brewery, Redruth and a fine Yakima Gold 4.2% from Crouch Vale Brewery.

Crouch Vale was where my buddy learnt his skill and he was head brewer there when they won Champion Beer with their Brewers Gold in 2005 and 2006 using a recipe developed by him. The only brewer every to claim that distinction twice.
