I get a few press releases sent to me, most are not very interesting or suitable for me to blog about but one a few weeks ago caught my eye. It was an email offering information about
Grain Brewery's gift packs suggesting that they would be idea as Christmas presents. This doesn't sound that interesting other than I received the email in August just before I went on my summer holidays!

I responded back saying that I was interested in the pack and last week a lovely pack arrived with a hand-written note from Phil the head brewer.
Now I've not heard a lot of stuff about
@grainbrewery on Twitter and when presented with a pack consisting of a stout, blonde ale and an IPA I wasn't expecting an awful lot but when I read the front of the bottles I got pretty excited. The stout? burnt & coffee. The blonde? not a 4% golden ale but a Belgian style witbier. And the IPA? I was expecting an ABV of between 3-5% but got a pleasent surprise at 6.5%.
I'm so sorry Grain for doubting you, the bottles look great and the descriptions have got my mouth watering!
