JACK FROST - LIKED IT SO MUCH I MADE IT TWICE

NORMALLY MY GUEST BEER IS BOTH A NEW RECIPE AND ALSO A NEW PUMP CLIP. HOWEVER, I REALLY LIKED THIS CLIP (AND THE BEER) AND DECIDED TO BREW AGAIN FOR 2012.

IN KEEPING WITH MITHRIL'S POOR ATTEMPTS AT  WEATHER FORECASTING, IT IS CURRENTLY WET AND WINDY IN ALDBROUGH ST JOHN (BUT NOT FROSTY). REGULAR READERS MAY RECALL THAT THE ALE 'HEATWAVE' I BREWED IN SUMMER SEEMED TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON THE WEATHER. BREWER, YES - IAN MCCASKILL - NO
