fermented with Brettanomyces Clausenii for a big complex beast of a beer.

and Simcoe. Crushable.

the old school stalwart hops, bringing those old school piney vibes to the fore.

Tempest Brewing Co.
Barrel 01: Bom Jesus Coffee
11.2% Imperial Stout An Imperial Stout conditioned on single origin Fazenda Bom Jesus coffee beans.
Leaning the malt bill to the sweeter, lighter roast side and restricting the time in bourbon barrel to six months kept the divine light shining directly onto the coffee.

classic zing of the house mixed culture.
Vault City Brewing

Crust Pie in a taste of berry-packed pastry. Big jammy strawberries and raspberries are layered with sweet biscuity, shortcrust pastry character which is heightened by
smooth vanilla and topped with a touch of hibiscus flower.

BREWER’S CORNER Miscellaneous Beery News
The next big thing on the IPA scene could be the Cold IPA. Kevin Davey from Wayfinder Beer in Portland provides a well written introduction
to the style, which seems to be gaining traction in the USA
https://newschoolbeer.com/home/2021/2/what-is-a-cold-ipa-
wayfinder-kevin-davey-definition
Closer to home, The Pub Gurmudgeon asks whether COVID will kill cask beer in the UK?
https://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2021/03/will-covid-kill-cask.html
The good news is that he doesn't think so, and he makes an
interesting point that the canary in the coal mine is likely to be the
much-maligned Wetherspoons. If and when cask starts to disappear from your local 'Spoons, it is time to start seriously worrying.
Aaron Goldfarb writes an interesting historical piece for Vinepair
looking at the Brewpubs that blazed a trail for Craft Beer in
Manhattan in the 80's and 90's.

PATREON ANNOUNCEMENT Discover the benefits of membership
When we launched This Week in Craft Beer in January 2020, we were blissfully
unaware of what lay ahead of us! Considering the obstacles, we have all faced, we
are proud of what we managed to accomplish in our first year.
However, we have lots more that we want to do in 2021! In order to fund these
activities and to enable our Community to get more involved with the creative process at TWICB, we have launched a Patreon Membership Programme.
Full details of how you can get involved starting at less than the cost of a half-decent can of beer per
month, can be found at patreon.com/thisweekincraftbeer.
Don't worry, our weekly Newsletter and Podcast will continue to be FREE FOR EVERYONE! The Patreon
Membership offers access to range of brand new TWICB Products and Services. Please check it out and
let us know what you think?!
www.thisweekincraft.beer/patreon
Q. Why are you starting to charge for things that we have enjoyed for free all this year? A. We aren't! The weekly Newsletter and weekly Brewer-interview Podcast will continue to be free to everyone. Patreon will
enable us to offer brand-new additional products and services to Members.
Q. What's this about Members getting involved with TWICB? A. We have been amazed and delighted with the amount of engagement and feedback we have received during our first year, via
social media, email etc. The UK Craft Beer Community is clearly engaged, knowledgeable and sociable! We want to provide a mechanism for bringing the community into our creative process, allowing people to participate in the planning, research,
production and delivery of our products.
Q. Why do you have to charge for things? A. TWICB is run by just two people: Rob and Steve. Whilst it is undoubtedly a labour of love, it has developed into something that
consumes a significant part of our working weeks. Steve works mainly on the Newsletter, where the New Beers Section alone
takes many hours per week, to research, collate and format. Rob works mainly on the podcast, where each episode takes several
hours to schedule, research, record, edit and promote. Whilst we will continue to invest this time to produce the free products, we think Patreon could be a great way of funding the time and effort that we want to devote to developing new products and
services.
Q. Apart from your time, what specifically will the Patreon proceeds be used to fund? A. As soon as the COVID-19 situation permits, we want to take the podcast on the road, to record Brewer interviews at their own
Taprooms, as well as record live segments at Festivals, Tap-Takeovers and other beery events of note. In order to provide a quality
finished audio product, we will need to invest in some decent mobile recording equipment, not to mention the cost of travelling
the length and breadth of Britain in the pursuit of great interviews!
Q. What is the thought process behind the bundles of Patreon Membership bonuses that you are offering? A. We have tried to come up with bundles that combine some community benefits, exclusive digital products, exclusive physical
products, invites to exclusive TWICB events, discounts on TWICB Grand Tours and opportunities to participate in the TWICB
creative process. We have tried to price each Membership Level so that each offers outstanding value for money. We have also
tried to be mindful of the number of Patreon members that we can realistically include in each bonus activity. (Clearly the invite to
participate in the podcast interview or attend the TWICB "Board Meeting" needs to be strictly limited in numbers, or else the bonus
would cease to be "exclusive” and would risk disrupting the actual process itself.)
Q. Are the Membership Benefits and Levels set in stone? A. Of course not! We are literally making this up as we go along currently! We would love to get your feedback on the Levels, the
Benefits, and indeed the very idea of using Patreon in the first place! Please hit us up on IG (@thisweekincraft.beer) or via email [email protected]. We confidently expect to need to adjust the Patreon model as we go along, based on feedback.
Q. Is this like a Gym membership, where I sign up in January, and then regret it for the rest of the year?!
A. Definitely Not! Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel your membership at any time. Only caveat here is that
certain Member Benefits (mainly those ones that involve a significant cost for us to provide to you) are only unlocked after three
or six months at a certain tier.
