What did you guys think of the Triple fff beers? I love the name and concept of the "Pressed Rat & Warthog" hoppy dark mild.

Triple fff were one of the breweries on last Saturday's RAT. It was a sunny evening and the Hallelujah went down a treat.
I would have have had the pressed rat otherwise. A favourite and my local too :)

Sorry TMH but WTF are you on about?

Very cool. The Old Dray ESB sounds tasty, too. Have you ever talked to them about recipes or yeast or anything?

I do know someone that works there but they have been reluctant to pass on much in the way of details so far.
I'll have to go to the open day to see what's going on ;)

I'd really love to make the Alton pride for example.

Sorry TMH. I'm not familiar with that track so missed the references. Shame on me.
They do like the classic rock references at Triple fff :)
