The Bailey Head pub in Oswestry, one of the current four finalists for CAMRA National Pub of the Year, has brewed three collaboration beers with different brewers that will all go on the bar at their finalist certificate presentation on 23 November.
The latest of the three, One Day, is a 4.7% West Coast IPA brewed with local Oswestry brewery, Stonehouse and the pub bar team went along to take part in the brew day.
The past two weeks has seen pub landlord and landlady Duncan Borrowman and Grace Goodlad travel to Riverhead (Ossett) Brewery in Yorkshire to brew Wild Flower, a 4.2% Hazy Pale and Castle Rock Brewery in Nottingham to brew Super Creeps, a 4.5% sister beer to Scary Monsters which they brewed with Castle Rock two years ago, when they were the first collaboration brewers on Castle Rock’s Pilot Project.
Grace said: “We have been brewing many more collaboration beers, this will make it eight in the past 12 months, it helps to keep us in touch with brewers we work with and every brew day teaches us something new, which adds to our understanding of the beer we are selling. I am really looking forward to everyone trying the three beers from 23 November”.
Duncan said: “I really want to thank everyone at the breweries involved in these brew days; the brewers who did the recipe development with us and brewed with us on the brew days, the back room staff who made them happen and the designers who worked on the naming and badges with us.”
