Pumpkin beer. I'm only doing this, so you lot don't have to.

The pumpkin we grew for Halloween weighs 17kg. I did consider using it to make beer or wine, but I suspect my wife's suggestion of making a curry is the right one. We may even finish eating it by Christmas.

XT 9 (black). I much prefer these straightforward names. It's from Long Crendon, on a Chiltern foothill.

"Modern" (which means quite hoppy), but not offensively and fruitily so. I'd have liked a little more sweetness, but it's Proper Beer.

Nominations for Crown Steward and Bailiff are beginning to mount.

Not brewed in one of the Three Hundreds, but a bit further north, just outside Wendover. As I drink it, this beer has 1.2 food miles, plus an extra mile or so to get it to the shop in a van and to the house I'm in this evening on foot.

Enough rambling. It's a good bottle of strong sweet bitter. Not really a dark ale, but I'm not complaining.

You like your beer to sound like you're selecting gear components?
Better than sounding like the fourth sentence of an experimental poem or the heading of a random Wikipedia article.
