– Hop-topia Palate Cleansing tips.
Hey guys. Not long now until our Hop-topia tasting event here at Port Street Beer House.
Trying 19 single hop IPA’s in one intense session.
For the people lucky enough to get a ticket we have a few ground rules that are recommended before taking part in such an onslaught on the Palate.
On the day strong flavours need to be avoided to keep your tongue up to scratch, you will need to avoid tea, coffee and smoking (within reason). Preferably no spicy food would have been eaten for 48 hours prior and definitely not garlic for 24 hours.
We will be offering water and palate cleansing items to rid your kisser of the pungent hop.
We will need everyone here 6pm prompt as we have a strict schedule that needs to be adhered to, if not Will will have a barney.
Roll out experimenters.

– Event / AB:07 Launch – Wednesday 5th October – It’s Back On!
Here at Port Street Beer House at 7pm on the 5th October something of the unseen is happening. With only one other bar outside of the Aberdeenshire HQ, we are going to be sharing a very exclusive beer, this is going to be as rare as a nun in a bikini.
Josie from BrewDog is smuggling an unreleased concoction across the Scottish borders especially for us! It will be the launch of AB:07. It’s a whisky cask aged imperial Scotch ale brewed with lager yeast, heather honey and Islay whisky malt and at 12.5%. We only have one 20 litre keg so be quick because when it’s gone, it’s gone. The launch is open to all, it’s a non-ticketed event and beer will only be available for purchase.
– Brewery Visit at Red Willow / By William France
Monday morning and it’s time for our first collaboration. Myself and two budding brewsters are off to Macclesfield to brew a beer for the ‘Meet The Brewer’ event with Toby Mckenzie and Red Willow on the 26th September. We had bounced around a few ideas prior to the visit and settled on a 8% wheat beer for Oktoberfest with a twist. After coffee we jumped on the train to meet Toby, we arrived at the haunt of the small brewer, an industrial unit. Labour intensive work has been exchanged for alchemy in many of the North West’s units, but brewing is probably a lot harder work then servicing peoples car repair needs, as we were going to find out.
