One of the few nicknames that I knowingly carry is “badger”. Mostly because I get under my wife’s skin a bit too much so I follow the updates from anything Badger themed. And this came across my computer screen recently…
“On 26th November we are launching the first in our Badger Collector’s ale series. The Collector’s Edition 2012 is like no other ale and its journey has been a little out of the ordinary! It was brewed using four types of hop; Boadicea, Bramling Cross, Target and Goldings; then matured in an oak cask from the Somerset Cider Brandy Company, where a second fermentation took place. The beer was then taken from the cask and bottled into full-size champagne bottles to allow for a further tertiary fermentation and the full champagne process of riddling and disgorging, as carried out by the finest champagne houses.”
