Looking forward to 'baron rating' these AlesByMail ales very soon!

Paul from AlesByMail mentioned a week or so ago that he was collecting together some of the newer stock on his AlesByMail website to send through for Baron Ratings. Well I knew the beers had arrived as I saw the courier struggling to carry the box down the drive on Thursday.

Paul mentioned that there was some stuff that he doesn't stock but bought for me as he knew it was my birthday soon (I'll cover these rather special birthday beers in a separate post).

Watch Chris & I unbox the latest AlesByMail beers:

i had the green jack 'ripper' and 'orange wheat' on cask at a festival, both amazing beers, interested to see how they do in bottles.

They look excellent , especially the large swing-top bottles. They are now available on the AlesByMail website:
