Dray Bike update

Evening all i have been busy delivering beer and was hoping the dray bike would be doing it all but due to a large piece of flint cutting into the trailers tyre today i had to deliver the last two firkins from the Bitter gyle 0003 by van. Very disappointing. But you get flats now and again so the trailer and bike will be back to delivering asap.
But for those that haven't seen the dray bike here is a picture of me with the first firkin delivered i did a week or so ago for the Cambridge Winter Ale Festival (WAF) and a picture of the dray bike fully loaded with 2 firkins doing a delivery run earlier this week into cambridge city centre.

Well the idea works and keeps be busy. So next time you see me out on the road say hi 
Cheers JK

What a start....

As i have been away from the computer for a bit i apologise but it has been a hell of a week. Its all about the first release. As i may have mentioned before the first beer i released was the Bitter. A 3.4% brown bitter. It was a massive success at the Cambridge CAMRA Winter Ale Festival. With the firkin being emptied by friday lunchtime session. So a big thank you to all of you that tired it.
I'm now even happier as i have a full order book and will be releasing the beer to local drinking holes in the next few days.  I will work with those establishments to let you know when and where it is on. Till then here is a little link to a report from the WAF in the local newspaper. Just for those that ask (Mum and Dad) no i don't know who James Barker is. James if you do read this come say hi at some point.
Well today i have just finished brewing gyle 0004 a bitter which will go on sale in a week or so. Tomorrow i'll be brewing another beer. More information to follow once i get it brewed and its all ready to go.
Cheers for now JK
