Battle of the Brewers IV
Can Stewart Brewing be stopped? Apparently not, it would seem. Last night, once again, they crushed the opposition in their Battle of the Brewers challenge, this time held concurrently in Edinburgh’s Holyrood 9A and Glasgow’s Inn Deep (I can imagine the Williamsii present taking a sip of each and tutting, wistfully).

Best new beers of 2013…the best of the rest
