You may have heard the rumours, but I’m going to be opening a brewery soon. More details over here.
AG#45 – Anything Gose
Gose – a sour, salty wheat beer. Think crusty sourdough bread eaten by the ocean, but a beer. Once popular in Leipzig, but now a rarity.

AG#42 – ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha
Gyle #42.
Also a beer made for Zoya’s First Birthday Party. Instructions were blonde, zesty, not too bitter, and using the killer Citrillo hop, with a touch of Galaxy. May or may not rival the Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster for the best drink in the Galaxy. Should leave hoopy froods knowing where their towel is.
