4 New ones at the Reef

[MeridianFC]

Anchor Our Special Ale
Sierra Nevada Celebration
Hambleton Nightmare
Cantillion Iris

All four are pretty exciting to me. Had the OSA, very good if a bit understated this year.

That's pretty much exactly what I said. BTW the Reef only has draft no bottles.

If you're interested call to make sure it's still there. He gets crazy specials like this from time to time but they never last long. Matter of fact I might pop in tomorrow just to get a sip and see if it's still there, will report back.

So the Iris is still on. I'm not the biggest Cantillion fan in the world, oh don't get me wrong I like intense lambic (Hanssens is my favorite), but the Cantillion has always struck me as too "sharp" without enough "funky". Still it's a very formidable brew. Hell it's downright great. Get it while the gettin's good.

The Nighmare from Hambleton, even though it's not cask, is absolutely spectacular. I'm really coming to believe that my expeience with them is not a fluke. They might be one of the best UK brewers going.

I'll try to draw up some stuff and throw it in the Tasting Notes section.
