No Time..No Time
Well, just had no time to work on my first “best of worst of” for my trip (damn bill paying job). So I hope this “Drunk Baby” meme will be okay for now. Cheers.

Elixir Get It India
Get It India is is our latest offering to the hop gods. Named for the strong, hoppy ales originally sent from England to British India. We have selected big, bold new world hops for this tribute. Featuring some of our favourites from New Zealand including Green Bullet, Nelson Sauvin and Wakatu to create a peppery, tropical shock to the senses.

Elixir Sevy Saison
Sevy Saison is a unique take on the classic Belgian summer style. Originally brewed by Sevarity in an 8L pot on the stove, this beer is a light, earthy mix of hemp, hops and Belgian yeast. Brewed with a selection of specialty malts and a sprinkling of Northern Brewer mash hops. 5kg of hemp seeds were then added with a further 5 additions of spicy Cascade and Kazbek hops.

Elixir Benedictine Groove
Benedictine Groove is back and available on cask with bottles soon to come. Our unique take on the Scotch Ale. Brewed with the finest Scottish malt and tablet, British hops and tonic wine. We thought we’d start with something a little bit different. Definitely Scottish, with tongue firmly in cheek.

All in all it was a great trip and will definately be returning at some point. I hope to do at least one blog post per country over the next few days and hope…

Continuing Education
Another year has passed. Cellarmonk’s own MeisterSgt (TheCellarMonk’s big brother) gains another year today. As they say, with age comes wisdom. This applies to most things in life, but I am especially proud of the fact that MeisterSgt is continuing in his beer education. No, he is not headed back to school to learn the fine art of brewing or the machinations of being a cellarman. He is just broadening his tastes in beer. Five year ago very little other than macro could be found in his fridge. Although there can still be some found, it is much less prevalent. He has moved on to more exotic beers. For some reason, everytime TheCellarMonk…
