Sadly John nipped out before I could get a picture with him and his CAMRA award for the best Craft Beer Bar in Blackburn and Darwen. I’m delighted for him and proud to say that all of his house beers (4 so far) have been designed and co-brewed by myself on his brew kit installed in the cellar of the bar. My trousers show evidence of a busy brew day making the next batch of the popular Step 1, a NZ hopped pale ale.
