Gwaneth Paltrow and Alexander Buckthorn Naked in East London

A fleeting post to announce the announcement of the launch of Alexander Buckthorn (no E) which went on sale on Monday. The High Council of Pickiness that is Sharp’s flavour panel gave it a large thumbs-up on Friday. The official Melissa Cole© launch coincided with the launch of my other latest WIGIG/collaboration a 7% ABV wheat beer, spiced with rose flowers and dried sour apple. They were both launched at Tap East on 11^th January to resounding praise.

The Wheat has been named Gwaneth which is the Cornish word for Wheat. I think it’s delicious and showcases the glittering brewing talent that is Jim Wilson. I’m sure that when the work doubling as Danny Dyer dries up, Jim has a long successful brewing career ahead of him.

   
Last Thursday, Baron Adrian Tierney-Jones and I brewed not only the world’s first ever Black Gose ever but also the world's strongest and most environmentally sound. What are boundaries there for, if not to break?   

More about the Black Gose shortly.
