Beercast #37 – Hargreaves Hill Brewing Co Showcase Sequel – Too Hargreaves Too Hill
Humbled by the generosity and inspired by the quality, this week’s episode of Border Barrels is the first ever sequel showcase.
The absolute legends from Hargreaves Hill supplied us with a decadent bounty of IPAs and 2 MASSIVE stouts.
The Team World IPA is the Grand Finale of our initial Hargreaves Hill showcase POD. A combination of 6 incredible hops, brought together like a United Nations of flavours.
The annual R.I.S is a heavy stout release, with pure indulgence its intention. To add an extra boozy wrinkle to our Sunday afternoon, we then sample the bourbon barrel aged version of the same beer.
We cannot thank Andrew and the team at Hargreaves Hill enough for a wonderful afternoon of exploration.
Be sure to check out all the suppliers that we reference during the episode to get your hands on the beers sampled this week.
Cheers to good beer and good times!
