Ninkasi Christmas Countdown

We thought we’d do something a bit fun in the run up to Christmas and share what we’ve been enjoying over the festive period.

Day One – Theo is drinking Raspberry and Pomegranate Gin Liqueur from Bristol Distilling Co

a

“I’m not the biggest beer drinker so glad that our equipment can be used by other drinks manufacturers. A great pink gin and can be mixed with Prosecco for a cheeky festive cocktail, can’t wait to try more from their range!”

a
Favourite Christmas Song – All I Want for Christmas is You – Mariah Carey (obviously!)
a
a
Day Two – George is drinking a Seriously Mixed Up Sour from Beatnikz in Manchester
a
The guys at Beatnikz are really great and show a real passion for all of the beer that they brew. Their sours are both full bodied but also fruity, George says it tastes like drinking a big bag of grapes.
a
Favourite Christmas Food – Pigs in Blankets
a
a
a
a
a
Day Three – Paul’s dessert beer of choice is Milk Stout from Wiper & True.
a
This beer is smooth, creamy and has so many wonderful flavours. Your mouth senses the chocolate and vanilla as it flows across your tongue. Not just a great beer, this is award winning stuff from the boys in Bristol.
a
Favourite Christmas Present ever – Action Man with a parachute
a
a
a
Day Four – Ollie is drinking one of the Christmas specials from BrewYork (Fairy tale of BrewYork).
a
Ollie loves a great dark beer, and he thinks the guys at BrewYork brew some of the finest dark beers in the country – Ollie says it tastes like pudding in a cup.
a
Are your presents before or after Christmas dinner? – Just continuous, they never stop, it’s all about the receiving.
a
a
a
a
Day Five – James is drinking Crash from Salt!
a
This is a regular beer in James’ house, he loves the fruity nature that the hops bring to the beer and the velvety mouthfeel that the beer creates. As you can see from the glassware, he’s a bit of a fan!
a
Favourite Christmas Memory – Christmas’ in North Wales with my whole family as a kid
a
a
a
a
a
Day Six – Liam is drinking Northbridge from Thornbridge, which is a 7.2% mountain IPA.
a
It is hands down Liam’s all time favourite beer, it is smooth, easy drinking and tastes amazing.
a
Favourite Christmas Movie – Die Hard
