Urquell was one of the first Czech bottled beers I bought back in mid-80's. Delicious.
I think it’s the most underrated beer my company owns. They never really promote it and are now removing in tanks in preference to Meantime. They’ll never sell it as it has a great reputation in Europe.
Taking the licence off Molson Coors to brew Grolsch though is a great move, watch this space. Proper Grolsch is lovely

Evening
I had the Welsh red recently, as my son got me quite a few crafts for Crimbo.
I'll be honest and say my palette doesn't like the reds, but on this occasion , that was a cracker!
Tell me more of these " Oak smoked " Sloes of which you speak ..... I have a Smoker
So do I, although without wishing to boast, mine is 6,000 sq feet!
Yes, scavenged a few sloes and cold smoked them for 48 hours.

Was that whole or did you pop the seeds out and do them on their own? Yes, you do have the bigger smoker, I'm assuming this is a professional setup?
Whole then popped but were later told this is the wrong way!
Yes a professional set up but a good development kitchen for little projects such as the sloe gin competition in my local pub!

I did a brief foraging masterclass abd was told that the actual flavour of Sloe Gin comes from the seed at the centre as it starts to break down. However, I'm pretty sure the colour of the Gin comes from the skin, so, prob best to use an Olive de seeder to get them out and smoke while keeping the fruit in the freezer until ready to add it all together.... Ps, Raspberry Gin is even better than Sloe Gin! I will deffo try smoked Sloe Gin though.
We've tried vanilla infused (don't go there) and I'll give the raspberry a go after we've tried smokin' the JD!
