Looking forward to 'baron rating' Summer Wine ales very soon!

I received some Summer Wine Brewery ales in my winners pack from AleTalk back in June. I found one of them a little harsh and one was excellent and the stout you will just have to wait and see.

Shortly after posting about them I was contacted by James at Summer Wine Brewery telling me that the ales were from their old range. They now have a new and improved line-up having learnt from their previous ones and asked if I would like to try them...

Yesterday I was very happy to see a Summer Wine-branded van pull up outside and a smartly dressed man personally delivering a box of ale!


  • Apache - 5.2% American pale ale



Look out for 'baron ratings' for these Summer Wine beers soon, and a big thank you to James & Andy from Summer Wine for sending these through to me!

Thanks again to AleTalk for sending these through, it's lovely to receive free beer and even better when 10 out of the 12 bottles I've not 'baron rated' yet!
