I'm from perth and have never heard of barons, who are they and where do you get them from? (checked the website but found no WA distributors)
English style bitters are one of my favourite styles, I drink stouts, porters and dark ales more than lighter hoppier ales, lagers. I don; mind the latter, but I'm starting with whats easier and what I normally drink in cooler weather, (as thats easier brewing time as far as temps too)
