Just like last year we have some very kind people and businesses willing to sponsor some real ales or real ciders that will appear at the LAN for your enjoyment at a bargain £1.50 per pint. Some of these brews have been sampled by the now expert dMw GBBF drinking team, or have been sampled before and must make a come back.
REAL ALE #6
King Cotton by Manchester Brewing Co
Sponsored by: Oliver Cromwell
Not only do they provide us with some where to sleep, game and swim etc but they have gone even further and sponsored a barrel of beer for us all to try. Big thank you has to be made to OC for putting up with us over the long weekend and letting us drink more than is possibly good for ourselves.
Manchester has been called a few things over the years . . . during the boom years when it was the centre of the textile industry, it was colloquially referred to as King Cotton. Our King is a chestnut brown, malt-driven Best, lightened with Waimea and Cascade hops for some citrussy freshness and coming in at 4.2% ABV.
Again this beer has yet to win any awards at the Great British Beer Festival but from what reviews I have read this is a good, easy drinking, amber colour bitter which may well come as a good thing after the potent Pale and Golden ales we have been trying. In addition to the Porter picked for the Lan, this ale has yet to be tried by anyone in the community so should be a good experiment and one to be reviewed on Untapped ap.
