The first taste of a new beer is usually a special moment, particularly when the beer in question is (soon to be) brewed in your home town.
When I read on the Adur Brewery Blog that the final bottles from the prototype batch of Merry Andrew had been delivered to the local off license, I quickly phoned my wife who kindly agreed to make a special trip. I’d missed out on all previous opportunities to sample, but am finally enjoying my first bottle. It’s a strong beer with a good complex flavour, though it could perhaps do with a touch more length. Went down well with the wife too (”good liquorice flavour”). We’ll gladly enjoy many more of these.
