Lan XXXVI - Real Ale #1

[Gortex]

It is that wonderful time of the year again when 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. All of the brews have been sampled by the now legendary beer festival team or pacifically asked for by the sponsor and we are fortunate enough for the hotel being able to supply it to us.

REAL ALE #1



Preservation by Castle Rock Brewery


Sponsored by: Oliver Cromwell Hotel

New one for us and one sampled by a few of us at the GBBF 2019 and generally given the thumbs up enough for a whole barrel to be sort out and given another taste to make sure all is in order.

This is a no nonsense, pure red, bitter of an ale from the now famous Nottingham brewery. The beer has a bit of a punch in the taste buds. A well-rounded with some residual sweetness and balanced with a resinous hop character. But also goes on for a good session beer. It won Bronze award in the Best Bitter category at this years GBBF and at 4.4% should leave you with a smile on the face.
