Crafty Dan is Thwaites' entry into the Sainsbury’s Great British Beer Hunt – a nationwide competition that sees twenty shortlisted
entries stocked in Sainsbury’s stores for three weeks. The best-sellers during
this period go to a grand final where two overall winners will be chosen and
stocked in the supermarket for a further six months. I picked up a handful of
the 20 beers last week (for an excellent £1.50 each). Crafty Dan was the first
of the beers that I tried and it’s really very good. Much lighter in body than
its 6.0% ABV would suggest. It’s a lovely deep copper colour and combines
toffee and fruit flavours absolutely beautifully. Much like the DNA collaboration that I featured in yesterday’s post this beer really acts as an
excellent stepping stone between real ale and craft beer, it packs in some
lovely flavours yet remains incredibly drinkable. Super.
