Hi All,

In my local CO-OP this morning, I discovered two new Adnams bottled beers 
(below descriptions are from Adnams' website)...

Lighthouse 3.4%
The Lighthouse recipe is based on an award-winning beer that we used to brew 
called 'Champion Pale Ale'. This is a traditional pale ale brewed with 
traditional ingredients. We use Maris Otter malted barley, which is one of 
the oldest varieties of barley still grown commercially. We also use some 
Crystal malted barley to add a touch of caramel and toffee. The hop blend is 
made up of two traditional tall hop varieties called Fuggles and Goldings. 
These hop varieties have been used together for decades, because they work 
so well together. They give beer a spicy, herbal tone that fills the palate.

Gunhill 4.0%
This beer can be described as a dark mild. We use a blend of 4 different 
malts to give a rich dark beer that belies its low ABV. The toffee, 
chocolate and spicy flavours come from the Chocolate, Crystal and Aromatic 
malted barleys and the sweetness left from the Tipple malted barley is 
balanced by the bitterness from the Boadicea hops.

I'm looking forward to opening those tonight!

I wish some major chain would start selling St Austell's Admiral's Ale
- apparently the best bottled beer in Britain.

It interests me how Aldi seem to do most of Bateman's bottled ales,
and at 122 pence a bottle.
