Looking forward to being back here on Saturday with @midscraftbrew.bsky.social to have a look at the Burton Bridge Brewery.

Andy Parker @tabamatu.bsky.social from @elusivebrewing.com at the Burton Bridge Inn discussing his The Modern Homebrewer.

An enjoyable evening listening to @tabamatu.bsky.social about his journey from home brewing to setting up @elusivebrewing.com at the Burton Bridge Inn.

His book with Jamil Zainasheff , The Modern Homebrewer is recommended reading. It's full of up to date advice on brewing quality beers at home.
