Bummock

bummock (old Scottish term)
a brewing of ale for a feast. - LINKY


the good SWMBO put me onto this term just before the recent Vic Case swap.. I will not go into the depth of the conversation...

So was the beer we made a Bummock or was the beer we brought to the swap a Bummock?

Here's a reference from a 1781 text which refers to the Bummock as strong ale prepared by the tenants for a feast prepared for their landlord once a year.

I reckon the extra swap beers that Idzy got as host (ie landlord) are the Bummocks

Well if we bring beer for a festival and make beer at the festival for the *next* festival ... Double Bummock!!
Has this been done before? If not, World Record!!

So the title on the tee should be:

"Vic Case Swap, July 2015, Kinglake.
World Record Double Bummock.

Brew Big.

Pants optional. "



That's my creativity for the year.
