Beer #97 Everards / Cambridge Brewing Sgt. Pepper (Wetherspoons Autumn Festival Special!)

Wednesday marked the start Wetherspoons Autumn Beer Festival. The pub chain is hosting 50 cask ales as part of the festival including 10 special collaborations between US and UK breweries. These collaborations saw top American brewers bringing some special recipes to the UK and brewing them at breweries around the country. Sgt. Pepper is the first one I tried, brewed at Everards in Leicestershire by Will Meyers of Cambridge Brewing Co., Massachusetts. This is a saison style beer with the addition of four spicy peppercorns according to the blurb. I really enjoyed this, it poured slightly hazy and the initial taste was quite herbal with a strong pepper flavour which carries through to the finish and really catches the back of your throat. Very interesting and very enjoyable.
