Going to be in the Donny Brewery bar on young street next Saturday tea timeish. the beer in there is superb, well recommend you checking it out. also the manager will be cracking open a few bottles of crème egg stout for easter brewed by yes yours truly me. got to say im dead chuffed with this, by far the nicest beer ive ever made. its not for sale, but if you fancy trying it get down to the brewery bar.
