Eldersauer

It’s that time of year again when the Eldersauer beer is ready for release. This is a very distinctive beer that needs a little time to condition — we bottled it early July. In fact, one brewer noted about last year’s batch that it would even more excellent in a year, or two. So if anyone does have a bottle or two from last year then do hang on to them and crack open much later on a special occasion.

Actually, that is another distinctive thing about our Eldersauer. It has a die-hard fanbase who hunted off licences for every last bottle last year. We heard tales of people rocking up to a shop that they had heard still had some bottles only to find their brother, perhaps, walking out with the stock – ‘nah mate, you’re too late.’

So, to be sure, folks we have 1,160 bottles of this year’s release. It has the same gooseberry-ish, cider apple notes with the elderflower predominant. A super beer when chilled, it has that tartness and effervescence that makes it such a refreshing beer. Enjoy it, until next year’s batch! Or keep it for a year or two…

…if you can resist the temptation to crack on anyway!
