This one has a nice story behind it. It was brewed with another Belgian brewery, Hof ten Dormaal, which burned down earlier this year.

While they try to get back on their feet, a number of fellow brewers have been doing collaborations with them so they have at least some income.

Nice story.
Incidentally, how does a collaboration between a Belgian and a US brewery, say, work in practice?

I tried a pint of each.. and the Rev. James came top of the taste test. The Bermondsey Best was not.. for me anyway.

It looks like the person writing the menu has also had a pint of each

They all get together at one of the breweries, come up with a recipe together and then make it.

I get the impression they sometimes try to blend their respective traditions, so you get West Coast IPA/saison mash-ups or US hop/Belgian yeast affairs.

The convention seems to be that the host brewery uses their normal get-up on the label, but includes the logo of the other.

No idea how the dosh gets shared out!

Usually the way would be for the brewer to give a certain value per bottle sold to the other collaborator. This would recompense them for the expertise in the brewing process and use of logos etc. Otherwise you get into complicated profit sharing calcs based on costs of production etc.

Another Hof Ten Dormaal collaboration, this time with DeMo. A 9,3% smoked stout.

The name of the beer translates literally as "falling over and standing up" - so, getting your shoot back together.

Obvs made at DeMo, but you get the Dormaal influence in that it's v v restrained on hop front and poss made with Dormaal yeast.

Totally my sort of thong. Like a supercharged Schlenkerla.

Oakham Citra. Always a nice pint, but after 80-odd Welsh miles, the recovery drink par excellence.

"80 odd Welsh miles"? Is there anything ordinary about any Wales miles? Did you manage to park your car near the pub then...a 'Citraen' 2CV bien sur.
I am busy drinking 'Proll' from Moreland AKA 'Crafty Ole Chicken' - something like that. Full, maple syrup style, with a bitter end...and, in the best tradition of all the 'Hen' products - toothsome.
Mrs JtM would be comatose by now, and lost for words - or lost forwards, who knows? :smile:

Ms P got me a selection box of Badger beer. This is good. What isn't good is Blandford Flyer. Like bitter shandy, made with ginger beer.
