The brewery: "We’ve been running pubs and brewing award-winning beer from our base in Bury St. Edmunds ever since the company was founded in 1799 by 19 year-old Benjamin Greene." Read more
The beer: "GK worked with students studying on the National Brewing Apprenticeship Programme, in creating an exciting recipe for a new, delicious cask ale. Named after the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, it provided farmers with a guide, offering early moonlight after sunset, helping to harvest the barley and rewarding them for another year’s graft. This deep ruby coloured ale is light in body and has delicious toffee and caramel character beautifully balanced with floral and herbal notes."
Tasty enough but not overly memorable to my taste buds. It did help me tick off another pub in the Liquid History pubs guide though. A busy pub full of tourists and young lawyers types jostling for space.
