8 Beers to Christmas

Old Suffolk English Ale.  Tonight's beer was rather special for two reasons:  First, it tastes great.  It has a sweet fruity nose and a distinctive taste of caramel and oak.  It really is a delightful beer.  Second, last summer we toured the Greene King brewery in Bury St. Edmonds where Keith (UK Keith that is) and I actually stood over the oak vat where half of this beer is fermented. 

Greene King only brews on premise, so whenever you have Old Speckled Hen (they brew for Moralnd), or Old Suffolk, or Abbot, you are tasting Bury St. Edmonds.  Tonight I was not only able to enjoy a great beer, but some great memories too.
