Well, last month’s Brewmance wasn’t a home run, but this month, we’ve got Iain McOustra from Amsterdam Brewing Co. and a big old jug of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis. Indeed, we’re going with a 100% brett pale ale, and a huge shot of fruity hops to finish it. Full video below, and recipe (sort of) there after.
