Aber Festival 24
MASHED ISSUE 0

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at MASHED over the weekend during Aber Beer Fest. We had an amazing time - what a great vibe you all created. And a big shoutout to Zak and the team at @aberbeerfest @bottle_barrel for giving Aber such a positive buzz over the weekend! And to all the other awesome venues.

The favourite MASHED beer at Aber Beer Fest! So many of you gave awesome feedback on our beers - thank you! We had a whopping 300 votes. What a variety of tastes you all have! Here are the results:

OVERALL WINNER with an amazing average rating of 4.6: âš¡Thunderstruck by Nigel âš¡

🍻 First to sell out: Moka Pot Stout by Tony

🍻 Most 5 out of 5 votes: PuckaUp Sour

🍻 Most ordered beer: Dragon’s Blood Sour Cherry Ale by Tristan 

A huge congratulations to Nigel, who has definitely earned the bragging rights for the next few months! And well done to all the other epic brewers too. 👏

Fancy knocking Nigel off the top spot to take the prestigious title of MASHED Brew Master? We are planning our next event in late October, so get in touch if you want to join me to brew your beer before then. No experience needed!

A Pint with… Andy N., Homebrewer

I live in Cardiff but I’m originally from Lancashire. I am retired and started brewing when my children bought me a BrewDog 1 gallon brew-in-a-bag kit just after lockdown in 2020. The results were successful so I started looking at other kits and equipment, and came across the Dark Farm (MASHED) kits and eventually tried them all.

ONLY with LOVE

There’s not much to hide behind when you’re brewing a lager. So when you find a really epic one, it’s a thing of beauty.

Brewing Notes

This issue has become something of a shrine to IPAs and Aberystwyth - and rightly so! What a truly amazing town and community we’ve found ourselves in: a thriving, bubbling scene that extends far beyond beer.
