Milk St - It's all about the beer!

We got some rather funky looking cans through the post this week from the Milk St Brewery based in Frome, Somerset. These beers are unfined, so suitable for vegans. They are all can conditioned, so for a clear brew, pour at a 45 degree angle and leave the last drop of sediment at the bottom. We love the Milk St slogan of… "It's all about the beer"!

Let’s see how they went!..
