'Blacksnake' sounds like an interesting brew - post the recipe here!
Is it a Porter or a stout?
I'm quite into the odd touch of homebrew....even do the odd full mash
now and again. Picnic chiller boxes make great mash tuns with a tap
added!
Found even more US Micro brands today in the supermarket.....Red Sky
Ale from California....should I try it?
Cheers!
