New beer's a brewin'. I thought long and hard about what beer I'd like to make for the Ryemenocerous after brewing the Hiphopopatamus. And the Hiphopopatamus was so deliciously hoppy, I decided to go in the opposite direction. This beer will be an English-style bitter/pale ale brewed with a big share of rye. Instead of being big nd bitter, it will be immanently drinkable. It's currently bubbling away and should be ready by the end of May.
