a trip back home provided an opportunity to sample some Adnams Broadside. the brew commemorates a naval battle with the dutch just off the East Anglian coast. it is a hoppy ale but not as dark as some currently found in the US. the lighter brown colour is somewhat reassuring.

the following day i had an IPA from the Harvey's brewery in Lewes. it was a more straightforward texture than the Hop Ottin's IPA and went down very easily.

the beers from the south of England seem to have less bravado than the craft brews from California. the emphasis is on a pleasant drinking experience rather than the challenge of appreciating something brewed for aficionados.
