Not all things go quite as planned when it comes to experimenting with flavours in home brewing.

A case in point is a fruit beer we made some months ago. There is bitter and then there’s WAAAY beyond bitter, perfectly fine to drink if only you could.

Never mind. Miss Cilla the pampered pig loves a glass full poured into her vegetable and barley porridge each evening.

I think the smile on her face says it all here, as she sleeps contentedly under her favourite wattle tree with a full tummy and bedtime treat of that little tipple of beer.
