Another new brewery for me last night as I picked up this
bottle of Spring Breeze from Batemans Brewery. I was having a couple of drinks
with some friends on Tooting Common after playing touch rugby and looking for
something light and refreshing for a warm summers evening. I picked this up in
my local corner shop Oli Food Centre – one of those hidden gems where they
stock an astonishing range of food from around the world that would put Tesco
and co. to shame. Furthermore they also stock a pretty good range of beer, with
probably 15 or so bottled ales on offer as well as the usual array of Asian and
Polish beers. Quite how they came to stock Batemans I’m not sure, the company
website seems to suggest a greater focus on their pubs and hotels rather than
their beer, which seems slightly unusual, and wiki suggests the beers are
generally found in Lincolnshire and the surrounding area, the home of the
brewery. Not much to say on the beer itself although I like the bizarre label
featuring Demeter, the Greek Goddess of Spring and Fertility.
