The Fellowship Of Beer

We've had a busy few days getting ready for Cycle 2 to ship!

These boxes are packed with rare b**r styles, including Gruit, Kottbusser, Kuit, Weisenbock, Burton Ale and more - and that's not even getting started on the many barrel aged b**rs featured!

We can't wait to see what our members think of them...

Yet again we are featuring a wide range of Fellowship member-suggested b**r styles, including Parti-Gyled Traditional English Ales, Gruits, Mixed Fermentation b**rs, an Export Stout, an Imperial Weisenbock, many Barrel-Aged Beauties and much much more...

Cycle 2 lands early September, join now to be part of the conversation that decides what's in Cycle 3.

It's always great to receive positive feedback, but this email from one of our members was just too lovely not to share!
💛

"I've struggled for ages to find an exciting b**r subscription and I'm so pleased I found the Fellowship.

I've loved all the varied and random styles... the Flanders Red is not a style I'd usually choose, but it was amazing.

The barrel-aged b**rs have had such complex flavours. It's all just been great.

I can't wait to see what's coming in Cycle 2!"

This is exactly what we hoped the Fellowship of B**r would become.

Not just a box of b**rs, but a chance to discover styles you might never normally pick up, compare brewing techniques, and share the journey with fellow b**r lovers.

A huge thank you for taking the time to send this. It genuinely means a lot to us.

🍻 Cycle 2 lands in September, and members are beginning to shape what Cycle 3 will look like at Christmas. Lots of exciting stuff...

Chris - one of our Fellowship members - has kindly sourced and donated this lovely piece of homebrew kit the b**ry cause. This means on future Community Brew Days, we can teach members how to homebrew, instead of just using them as slave labour to dig out mashtuns etc!

We have a number of homebrewers and pro-brewers in the Fellowship Of B**r, and we are going to let them take the lead on this project, but what would you like to see and help them create?

Our latest Community Brew Day at Steam Machine Brewing Company was a little different... This time we collaborated with the legendary Damian of Emperor's Brewery !

Members were asked to come up with ideas for Imperial Stouts, which were then whittled down by Damian to a vote of five. Members wanted a thick, rich, luscious Imperial Stout inspired by luxurious hot chocolate.

It was a BIG brew day, with everyone helping out and getting messy, followed by a bottle-share.

We managed to introduce Damian to two Northern delicacies: Pease Pudding, and a dirty takeaway Bolognaise Pizza.

Here's a pic of Damian sharing out the obligatory brew day 'Wh**ky & Wort' for breakfast :D

A big thank you to all who came from near and far. Your dedication to the b**ry cause is outstanding. 🍺

An unexpected gift from one of our furthest away members and homebrewers, Roge!

Home dried Lemon Verbena (mine hasn't even started budding yet in the North East, and only ever produces about ten leaves!).

He's given us the task of making a lemon verbena b**r. He's going to use his in a lemon curd white stout, but what should we make?!

Whoop whoop! Party Party! 🥳🎉

Yesterday we honoured the Fellowship's wishes for a Parti-Gyled b**r in Cycle 2. Essentially making multiple b**rs from the same big mash.

We made a variation of Steam Machine's Debauchery Imperial Stout (most of which will be barrel aged in Bourbon & Rum Barrels as per members' votes), and we've also brewed a highly hopped export stout with a twist (shh...!).

Some brew days go swimmingly and are an absolute breeze. This wasn't one of them sadly! The mash was sticky, got stuck, and made Nick says rude words which rhyme with stuck.

A couple of things required impromptu maintenance, and the whole thing was just looonnnggg... Over thirteen hours, and over twenty thousands steps later.

Party party indeed :D

After a long wait, we finally received two unusual dark rum barrels. These belonged to long-gone Uitvlugt Distillery on the Demerara River, Gayana.

The Fellowship members have voted that we fill them with Imeperial Stout and Belgian Quadrupel. Both b**rs are rich, caramel-laden, and perfect for that big boozy hit of burnt brown sugar. At we have experience of both these b**rs being aged in rum barrels, with previous releases including "Blackbeard's Birthday Party", "Rackham's Rum Shoppe", and more recently "Reed's Rampage".

Stephen of - spirit expert extraordinaire - happened to pop in and have a sniff of these barrels as they arrived. The smile on his face hopefully means that these two b**rs will be ones not to be missed...
