Great job, when you say any bittering hop did you use US or European?

Fair play Tom. Onto the list it goes.

I went for a mixture of magnum,  EKG and hallertauer all for bittering.

I'm going to Edinburgh on Thursday so hopefully it won't have all been drunk by then, we tried the original at the rebel Christmas meet up, and it was very well received.

Labels are lovely too. Hope you got a nice poster for your brewery/bar.

Available to buy online. I'd doubt it'll end up in the Derry Tescos but maybe the Belfast lads might get lucky.

Any interest in a group buy to save on postage?
