PopAGraphPhotoSussexIn our second county showcase, we’re joined by Rachel Smith from Look At Brew to take us through the best that Sussex has to offer.

We tackle four beers selected for us by Rachel to highlight where the Sussex brewing scene is right now. Embracing modern beer packaging , we have cans from Gun Brewery with their ‘Scaramanga’ and Hastings Beer Co’s ‘Four Cees’. We also cover a modern take on a barley wine with ‘Freudian Slip’ from the Naked Beer Co and an absolute classic from Dark Star in their ‘Espresso’.

In addition to all this, we also squeeze in the news, another #hoptopic and one more big box of nothing is awarded in the #prizelessprize.

Episode 125 – Essex Brewery Showcase

This week is something new for us as we focus on a single county in our Essex County Showcase jointly hosted by Justin Mason.

We tackle four beers that have been carefuly selected for us by Justin to highlight where the Essex Brewery scene is right now. Starting with Crouch Vale’s ‘Brewers Gold’ we then move onto Wibbler’s ‘Hop Black’ and Maldon Brewery’s ‘Xylonite’ before tackling the very special Brentwood Brewing Co’s ‘Van Kannor’.

In the news, all you need to know is that Thornbridge’s (KLAXON) ‘Halcyon’ has been voted the best beer in Europe, while the #prizelesspize this week goes to a suitably seasonal holiday themed montage.
