The York Brewery.

Should anyone be reading this and has the chance of visiting York I can thoroughly recommend visiting the York Brewery. The only brewery within York walls
Very friendly people and you can have a tour for just £5, this also includes a pint or two different halves.
Ted and I had a tour led by a young lad called Josh, and boy if you want to know anything about brewing he knows it. A mind of information.
We spent the whole of the evening there to after becoming a member for just £3.

- 27 March 2012 22:15161715Re entry into the county was fine Sarah, just a few scorch marks on the bonnet.
We got back on Sunday so over this week will be posting stuff of where we've been. I could've done with another week off to get over that one.

Does it produce a kind of free flowing internal combustion? But hark...No doubt it all adds to the rural organic rustic flavour.
Good to have yis back lads.

- 28 March 2012 08:17161734LOL Peter....
same comment made by Paul for sprouts are just as appropriate for the product of hops though!!!!!! - 28 March 2012 08:20161735Ah errmmm cough..of course I knew that all along...ahem! email: dover7@msn.com
- 28 March 2012 13:57161843Now that was funny, you can tell PaulB is not a 'real ale' man
- 28 March 2012 14:05161845Yes indeed, thoroughly chuckle-some. Thank you PaulB.
I have had a closer look at the ingredient table photograph, but can't make out any of the labels apart from, 'chocolate'. What's this? Ladies beer?Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 28 March 2012 14:27161851Chocolate malt. roasted until it's a chocolate colour, used in dark beers.

Ah Brian, tut-tut. We (i.e. me) who enjoy the conviviality of prolonged, yet peaceful, debate rise above the boyish thirst for alcohol and prefer the mutual grin-fest of taste.
3.8% hits the nail upon the head for me.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - Brian Dixon
