Hello, welcome to <strong>Beerwolf</strong> #35.<br />
Hello dark nights, hello dark beer. This<br />
time of the year we have the opportunity<br />
to seek out the best stouts. porters<br />
and milds as brewers turn their hand to<br />
producing rich dark beers to suit a<br />
changing palate as the year turns. Constant<br />
change is of course, part of life<br />
and I hope you’ll be joining me and<br />
<strong>Wolverhampton</strong> <strong>CAMRA</strong> members in getting out and<br />
sampling some of the delicious elixirs that local brewers<br />
in particular are cooking up.<br />
This edition, we’re continuing our knowledge section,<br />
this time looking at malt - the backbone of beer.<br />
While hops could be compared to the celebrity in the<br />
public eye, malt works away in the background, the<br />
base from which a beer is built. Rob Taylor visited The<br />
Gunmakers at Bradmore for a chat with long serving<br />
landlords, Kevin & Debbie Benton, and we’ve included<br />
a new feature, The Hungry Drinker’s <strong>Wolverhampton</strong><br />
Area Snack Guide.<br />
We’ll also be bringing you all the local pub and brewery<br />
news and a look at cider in our branch area.<br />
Enjoy the magazine and have a great winter season.<br />
