Titanic Cappuccino

From The Grange Farm Inn, Oadby, Leicestershire.

Beer number 24 is the lovely coffee flavour of Titanic Cappuccino. Placing 7th with a well deserved BBB score of 77, it really is a complete change to the normal flavours but works remarkably well. Definitely worth a try!

Did you know? #17

This is an obvious one...

Beer is composed of (mostly) water, a starch, a yeast and a flavouring agent. The starch, such as malted barley, is turned into alcohol, the yeast which does this fermentation is often the brewers own culture and the typical flavouring agent is hops.

Sun Inn in Kislingbury

5 Families have bought and restored the Sun Inn in Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, for their local community.  It required a lot of work to get it operational but many members of the community volunteered and helped out where they could. Sounds like a nice place for a pint!
