Hmmm. I can't either but I have had beers in the past I can't find; perhaps it's a small - maybe v. small - batch?

Having not had any pub time for a month, I particularly enjoyed my Friday teatime session, this week.
Luddite - Mosaic.
Luddite - Citra Lite.
Luddite - Milk Stout.*
Luddite - 1812.*
Luddite - Transportation IPA.
As is usually the case when I visit The Calder Vale Hotel, I tend to work my way across the pumps. The Milk Stout is becoming a firm favourite.
