Some useful notes * the original beer uses Gladfield Manuka Smoked Malt, which is unavailable in UK. We suggest Weyermann Rauch Malz as the best alternative. * if NZ hops are difficult to find, we'd suggest replacing them as follows: Pacific Jade can be replaced with Magnum. Nelson Sauvin with a tropical and/or sweaty new world hop such as Galaxy or Simcoe. Rakau could be replaced with any hop that displays stonefruit and pine notes (possibly Amarillo).

Ask someone down the pub for the reasons behind Britain’s recent Beer revival, and you’re guaranteed all sorts of different explanations. In 2017 the number of UK breweries passed the 2000 mark, which puts us well ahead of European neighbours. Most will have a reasonable argument for why, but you can bet your double-dry hopped DIPA that very few of them would mention Gordon Brown, ex-PM and former Chancellor of the Exchequer.
