In a week’s time I shall be heading to Cardiff with the aim of collaborating on the brewing of a saison with Brains (http://www.sabrain.com/) head brewer Bill Dobson. I like working with breweries on designing a beer — I’m not a brewer and my two attempts at home brew have ended in failure. Both were from Boots’ kits and one was a brown ale, which I ended up washing my hair with, and the other was a pale ale that only the dog and my brother drank. It’s nice to be able to have an idea and find a brewer who doesn’t think something I suggest is half-witted (dark saison, India pale bock, black Gose, dry-hopped rye mild for instance). I’ve also opened up another collaborative beery front, this time in the field of writing. A month or so ago Pete Brown (http://petebrown.blogspot.co.uk/) and I were invited by Badger to come on a cliff-top walk in Dorset and then write about it together, the results of which can be seen here (http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/article/hot-topics/earning-your-pint).
