Last year at Univeristy a few of us like minded students clubbed together to create Harper Adams first brew club. Here we meet and discuss our favourite tipple, organise informative talks by our very own beer wiz Professor Frank Vrieskoop (Full member of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling and Honorary member of the American Distilling Institute) as well as occasionally brewing our own concoction of whatever we fancy providing what ingredients we can get our hands on!
Our first official meeting this year instructed those interested in joining to bring along two of there favourite tipples (one for yourself and one to share). We discussed why we had chosen that particular brew and what we would like to get out of the group. I brought along my newest discovery Buddy's; a beer flavoured with bourbon and a hint of honey. It's an easy drinking beer with a real honey aftertaste. So far I've only seen it in Asda which is great for weird and wonderful new tipples.
The other two beers that really stood out for me at the meeting was Brew Dogs Punk IPA and Thornbridges Jaipur. Both had a great hoppy flavour and a strong lychee taste, very fruity and very drinkable!
Now that I've been 'promoted' to social secretary I'm in charge of organising educational excursions to breweries and distilleries. Any recommendations would be hugely welcomed!!
