I was always a big fan of beers and since I can remember I was trying different beers that I could get my hands on. After many years of drinking store-bought beers and noticing changes in their taste, I've decided to start brewing myself beers that I would love to drink. From the very beginning I intended to use only natural ingredients and know what exactly goes into my beers. I don't use any extracts or flavourings. For flavoured beers I use actual fruits, chillies and my own-made vanilla extract (made over the course of 6 months). I also abstain from using any ingredients of animal origin hence my beers are less see-through then most beers on the market but can be also enjoyed by vegans.
My X-Strong Pale Ale was recently voted a Runner Up in New Local Drink of the Year at Carlsberg Food and Drink Awards 2018/19. It was a pleasant surprise that any of my beers get into finals of the Awards. Being a beginner miniature-scale home brewer I didn't envision to ever make it past the first round of judging. Becoming 2nd best New Local Drink of the Year was a shock and made me very proud.
