Old Gits is now one of Green Mills regular beers.
They claim they now use the original recipe, but they don't really.
As I pointed out to Matt, the brewer, if it's the original recipe, how come I can still taste Cascade and the bitter hoppiness from the Chinook is much less pronounced?
I think that they still add Cascade hops, but only about 100g rather than the 400g they added to their first version.
It's still not a bad beer though.

Green Mill Old Git has been nominated in the Golden Ale category for the Champion Beer Of Britain.
All CAMRA members can vote online.
The winners then go forwards to the tasting panels at the appropriate CBOB Beer Festival.
Piece of p*ss this brewing lark. 1 attempt 1 nomination.
Methink brewers protest too much.

How does this work exactly? I recently voted in this and was presented with a huge list of beers in most categories all from the South East, although Hook Norton isn't South East in my book.
The funniest thing for me was that Brodie's California was included in the Golden Ales category and as far as I'm aware hasn't been brewed for some two years! I felt compelled to vote for it.
Just done it for the South West. As I understand the local CAMRA branch (mine is Somerset) nominates beers in each category from it's branch. Members can then vote for the beers that all the branches in their particular region have nominated. As its a drop down menu no easy way to get a list, but I was surprised how few beers there seemed to be.
One odd one was Arbors Transpacific Pale Ale appearing in the old ales and strong milds section!
