Thanks .. will look for these. Even us here in the colonies don't brew Fosters or Castlemaine ... I've brewed things just as ordinary but not by intention !!!Dennis King wrote:For the Birmingham one there are some good beers in the West Midlands area, there is a recipe for Batham best bitter in the Grahme Wheeler book. Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby sounds good but I`ve never tried it. Good luck lads great idea, just don`t expect us poms to brew Fosters or Castlemaine.
Matching Real Ale to the ASHES
Theres a brewery local to us and only a couple of miles from the Oval and they do great beers, all named after local landmarks;

The bitter is excellent and the Power Station porter is a big brooding oil slick of a beer - a proper london Porter. I dont have recipes but theyre friendly so might give you some pointers if you contact them and tell them what youre up to.
Otherwise theres Meantime in Greenwich.

They use historic recipes and do a great IPA thats 7.5%.
Good luck.
