One by one my friends texted to say they weren’t coming, leaving me alone here tonight – and I left before the ‘Meet The Brewer’ session got started.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Buxton - Kinder Stout4.10ExceptionalI’m a sucker for a really good stout, and this is one. Full-on burnt malt, creamy and black. As good as you would expect from such a classy brewery.
Buxton - Buxton Spa4.10ExcellentGolden coloured and full of citrusy (US?) hop flavours.
Buxton - Dark Nights4.60ExcellentDark brown, near black porter with chocolate malt tastes and good bitter hop character.
Buxton - English Pale Ale4.90ExcellentGolden in colour. Very nicely balanced, malty and hoppy beer.
Buxton - Target3.80ExcellentGolden, very fresh, earthy hop taste.
Buxton - American Rye4.30GoodSmooth, good hops, long rye aftertaste.

The latest in the series of ‘Meet The Brewer’ nights, and the usual good crowd is in. Tonight it is Andrew and Mark of Revolutions Brewing Co. of Castleford, who are presenting 10 of their beers.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Revolutions - Manifesto6.00ExcellentA really good, full-on, strong, roasted malt, black stout.
Revolutions - Demo #54.50ExcellentAmber coloured. An American Pale Ale, un-fined (so hazy) and dry-hopped giving an overall fruity hop taste.
Mikkeller - G'day Mate6.00ExcellentMore hop flavours in one sip of this ‘keg’ beer than in all the other beers drunk today put together.
Revolutions - Beat Red4.50GoodA sweet and fruity red ale with a dry, citrusy hop finish.
Revolutions - London Calling4.50GoodGolden and hoppy, but for me a little soapy. English hop mix.
Revolutions - The Blackout4.50GoodA black, slightly roasty stout with a tiny hint of sourness in the finish.
Revolutions - Identity6.00GoodA well-rounded malty beer with a very English taste.
Revolutions - Ravenscroft3.30AcceptableLow strength, pale colour, predominately malt taste, a bit thin and lacking in hop flavours. I think that all adds up to being a light mild.
Revolutions - Clash London Porter4.50Not Tried
Revolutions - Devolution4.50Not Tried
Revolutions - Kraftwerk4.50Not Tried
04 Sep 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Busy mid Tuesday evening with most tables taken.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tiny Rebel - Chocoholic6.80GoodI was expecting more from this stout at that strength. Dry, powdery roast and chocolate malt flavours leading to a dry, roast finish. Lacking body for its strength. My score 15/20 (similar styles have got 17-18).
Mighty Oak - Gopher Gold4.10GoodGolden with good citrus hop character and good malt balance. My score 15/20.
Mighty Oak - Sand Adder5.00GoodVery pale strong bitter with a well balanced bitter hop flavour with some fruit in the finish. My score 15/20.
Tiny Rebel - FUBAR4.40AcceptableGolden with fairly bitter hop flavour and a dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20.
06 Aug 2012 (Stephen Harris)
It’s the first Monday of the month again, and this month’s Handpump Takeover and Meet the Brewer session is with Redwillow Brewery of Macclesfield. A good crowd in and, Praise the Lord, the TV is on so we can keep up to speed with developments in the Olympic Velodrome.
BeerABVScoreNotes
RedWillow - Headless3.90ExcellentPale in colour with a good orangey hop flavour on biscuit malt.
RedWillow - Wreckless4.80ExcellentPale ale with a heavy dose of Citra and Amarillo hops, making for a lovely crisp, fruity pint.
RedWillow - Soulless7.20ExcellentA big beast of a black IPA. Very hoppy, on a solid, rich malt base
RedWillow - Ageless7.20GoodPale, US fruity hop character. A bit sticky.
RedWillow - Directionless4.20GoodAmber-coloured, hoppy, session beer with Amarillo hop character balanced by good maltiness.
RedWillow - Sleepless5.40GoodUS-style, toffeeish, amber/brown ale. Very bitter, grainy malt and fruity hops. Tastes like there might be some rye in the mash.
RedWillow - Remorseless7.80AcceptableRedwillow’s 200th brew. A very bitter, golden beer. Too harsh for me.
RedWillow - Feckless4.10Not Tried
RedWillow - Fathomless5.20Not Tried
RedWillow - Smokeless5.70Not Tried
02 Jul 2012 (Stephen Harris)
I’ve missed a couple of the monthly ‘Meet the Brewer’ sessions here, but am pleased to be here for this chance to meet the Mallinson’s ladies, whose beers are rarely seen in London. The turnout is down on usual as unfortunately the wrong date was printed in the London Drinker magazine. By the brewers’ own admission, pretty much everything is pale and hoppy.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Mallinsons - Nelson Sauvin3.80ExcellentSingle-hopped beer brewed with pale lager malt. Lip-smacking Nelson Sauvin tastes.
Mallinsons - Citra3.80ExcellentPerhaps a little one-dimensional – but when that dimension is a Citra dimension, that’s very fine with me. Grapefruity.
Mallinsons - Stadium Bitter3.80ExcellentVery pale; nice blend of Perle, Aurora and Amarillo.
Mallinsons - Station Best Bitter4.20ExcellentVery pale. Quite similar to the Stadium Bitter – a little stronger and with Cascade hops replacing Aurora as the aroma hop. Just as good.
Mallinsons - Hopped #143.80ExcellentAnother very pale beer. Nice blend of Perle, Cascade, Amarillo, Simcoe and Centennial, making for a very hoppy pint.
Mallinsons - Danger: Hops!5.00ExcellentEven though my hop addiction is quite advanced, apparently even I raised an eyebrow on the first taste of this one. Extreme hopping on a pale lager and wheat malt background.
Mallinsons - Brewers Gold3.70GoodA pale beer, reeking of Brewers Gold hops. Tasted a little harsh after some of the other hoppy beers.
Mallinsons - Centennial (Now That's What I Call Hops #10)3.90Not Tried
Mallinsons - Chocolate Stout4.00Not Tried
Mallinsons - The Beach is Back!5.00Not Tried
23 Jun 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Busy on a mid Saturday afternoon.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Five Towns - Peculiar Blue6.00ExcellentFull flavoured with citrus hops and a good malt base. Pale in colour. My score 16/20.
14 Jun 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Another Euro football free zone, with the pub full of diners and beer enthusiasts.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Mallinsons - B.G. Cluster4.40AcceptableVery pale and very bitter with two of my least favourite hops in here. Very dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20.
02 Apr 2012 (Stephen Harris)
Tonight at Cask sees what the Americans would call a ‘tap takeover’ by Fyne Ales of Scotland, with a Meet The Brewer session at 8pm. Interesting, good beer and a large crowd of devotees present.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fyne - Sublime Stout6.80ExcellentHigh quality, dark stout with chocolatey and liquorice notes. High alcohol, some roastiness and a little hop character.
Fyne - IPA Project Davaar Blonde5.50ExcellentPale gold and slightly hazy. A crisp, refreshing, US-style IPA with Cascade and Simcoe hop character on a solid malt base. Huge bitter aftertaste.
Fyne - IPA Project Davaar Black5.50ExcellentThis is the same beer as the Davaar Blonde, but darkened to black by an injection of malt extract into the cask (the same trick that Redemption Brewery used to produce ‘Trinity Black’). It has the same hoppy character as the Blonde but is overall a more rounded and mellow beer. Perhaps a little too much malt extract used.
Fyne - Maverick4.20GoodA darkish, nicely-balanced beer with fruity malt and hops.
Fyne - Earra4.80GoodA golden bitter with a big grainy, malty mouthfeel.
Fyne - Vital Spark4.40Not Tried
Fyne - Avalanche4.50Not Tried

03 Mar 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Quite busy late on a Saturday afternoon.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Liverpool Organic - Cascade3.80ExcellentPale bitter with a strong citrus hop flavour. Good malt balance too to give a full flavoured beer. My score 16/20.
Mallinsons - Kiwi Classic4.50GoodPale and hoppy with a tropical fruit flavour and a well rounded finish. My score 15/20.
06 Feb 2012 (Stephen Harris)
The latest in the popular “Meet the Brewer” series, tonight with Arbor Ales of Bristol. Suitably busy.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Arbor Ales - Mild West3.60ExcellentA black, roasted mild with some hop character.
Arbor Ales - Breakfast Stout7.40ExcellentA big, black, hugely-roasted stout with a long, burnt and slightly hoppy finish.
Arbor Ales - Yakima Valley7.00ExcellentPale gold, with a bit of a hop-haze. Very tastily hoppy. About as hoppy as a beer gets in fact.
Arbor Ales - Slack Jawed Yokel5.50ExcellentCopper-coloured with a big hop hit and a long, hoppy finish.
Arbor Ales - Double Trouble12.00GoodThis is a collaboration brew with Art Brew. A copper-coloured, very strong and mellow bitter.
Arbor Ales - Artisan4.80GoodCopper-coloured, hoppy and dry, with a good malty base.
Arbor Ales - Inferiority Complex3.40Not Tried
Arbor Ales - Bullion4.00Not Tried
