a bottle of The Drumhead Brewery's Hop Hop & Away will be set aside for both of the winners. Many thanks! You can collect the next time you're in the neighbourhood 🙂

Hops are good, but not overdone in a pale ale

an update folks:
Hop Hop & Away was bottled on Wednesday 30th November. I'm just printing the labels now, they look like this:

a little lacking in imagination perhaps, but for me it's not a bad attempt
Rabbit proof fence
Ahh too late- my entry would be 'glasshopper' with a nod to kung fu god david carradine
Don't know if it's just me, or whether it matters at all, but cartoony-style labels steer me away from a bottle of beer.
Make it look/seem too homebrew-ish/amateur-ish.
Also, think I've been unlucky in that the couple that I have tried over the years haven't been very nice.
But maybe that's what it is. Unless you're looking to shift thousands of units through the supermarket I guess it doesn't matter what one random person on the internet likes. Good luck with it!
well I've tried some of the more traditional labels and TBH they're all a bit dull. http://start.beerlabelbuilder.com/?page=catalogue;CorporateID=E911DBE4-B233-4AEA-BCE4-EFBD0F424FD2
Yes it's purely for my own consumption, although DD & Konastoner have a bottle each reserved if they're ever up Leeds way
if/when I go to the all-grain method, in quantities larger than I can drink, then I'll think about selling some, subject to the relevant licencing, and I'll get some proper labels commissioned, but this'll do for me
mrs DD is a graphic designer whenever you need prawper labels jd. Hope you're enjoying the beer. It's unlikely I'll be up in Yorkshire anytime soon so I will just imagine how good it tastes. A proud moment for me though. 🙂
it'll be about 4 weeks before I get to try this one, but I have plenty of stock to be going through in the meantime 🙂

Hit all the right numbers, should come out ~5% if the yeastie's do their job properly!
hmm, looks lovely already
It's very much an object of curiosity at the moment!
You drinking the hoppy one yet?
yes indeed. that's one up there ^. still a little hazy but it's only been in the bottle a couple of weeks, now in the conditioning room (shed)
hoppy but not too bitter, nice citrussy flavour and a hint of elderflower on the nose. Very quaffable. If you ever get to try Wharfebank Brewery's Tether Blonde, it's very close to that. Or maybe Badger Golden Glory (the one without the peaches)
I know Golden Glory pretty well, sounds like you've got a great result there.
I love this brewing lark, so much stuff to try out...
I bought Graham Wheeler's book today. I can see lots of experimenting coming along. including BIAB...
