Stuff Cwig Iggs: Craft Beer


Okay, if you know me you know I'm a big fan of craft beer. So while I'm not great at describing the pallet of the brews, I thought I would share some musings on them.








Hobgoblin (Wychwood Brewery) 5.2% ABV


Jeremy Moss, Wychwood's head brewer, describes the drink as "full bodied and well balanced with a chocolate toffee malt flavour, moderate bitterness and a distinctive fruity character with a ruby red glow."


This is one of my favorites-- easily found in any store with a modest craft brew selection, and not too expensive. I often find it in the 500 mL bottles, but it can also be acquired in the standard 6-pack size.



I find that-- given it's richness-- it's best enjoyed during the Autumn or Winter. (It might be a little heavy for typical summer cuisine.) Go Anglo, and sip it with a plate of Bubble and Squeak.
