Ambergris, Ale and Alchemy. What is Ambergris? Well it's one of the most sought after aromatics on Earth and highly prized for centuries, that's what. There are few places where it can be found and we're lucky enough to have a great spot in New Zealand in the shape of Stewart Island. Thanks to Matty T for his foraging down there from us! It was prized by Alchemists and always trying to be different we have added some to this years Steampunk Strong Ale , now for the first time worldwide you can have some whale in your ale!
Once more we return to the deranged mind and life of yours truly, the Monkey Wizard. And what has changed you ask? Quite a bit as it happens. Shaun Wizard and myself spent Monday brewing another MWB classic George Best because it's selling fast and we will run out soon. Luckily, Steampunk is nearly ready so we can still offer some high octane ale for the descerning drinker. Shaun and myself decided after much sampling that George needed more hops, it finished slightly sweeter than expected so this must be balanced accordingly so thet were duly included as late kettle additions.
" As I roved out to the hazel wood, because a fire was in my head. I plucked and peeled a hazel wand, hooked a berry to a thread. And as white moths were on the wing and moth like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in the stream and caught a little silver trout"
I hope everyone is well out there in Wizard land. More rantings from the Troll Hole from your vertically challenged host I'm afraid
Good day to everyone and welcome to the new website and a big thank you to to WebOne Wizards and Andy Clover for putting up with my ramblings and disorganised wizards brain.
In this diary, we have a good rant about beer, girls, guns and whatever we feel like.
