Watched the show... must admit, I'm curious to how it all went. It feels like it ended one episode too early- an episode based about three months later to see how far they have come would have been great. Overall it's quite a well made show.

Well made ? I felt that everything they did was staged. Including the very production of the program. And did anyone else find Neil Morissey to be a bit of a **** ? Also, something I found out on Wiki, it's not so much 'Risky Business' at all, Morrissey would have been well aware of the implications of entering into the business of a pub, being that he bought THREE of them a couple of years ago, in 2004, and spent around 700,000 POUNDS. Personally I reckon Channel Four paid them enough money for doing the showm, which covered their costs

Anyway, my cynicism of television shows aside, I will also put my hand up and will burn two copies of the series (in .avi format, watchable on your computer, not on your DVD player) and I will also burn "The Beer Hunter" (not very good quality video reproduction, but a very interesting series on beer). No funds required - I have a few prepaid envelopes floating around, but I do ask that members with 100+ posts only, and those who otherwise do not have access to high speed internet contact me for a copy.

Nice poppies. Your backyard ? <_<

I would guess 6 months maximum. The locals didn't seem to like it and the townies would only turn up until the novelty factor wore off.

Cannot imagine Yorkshire country folk paying daft money for Belgium bottled beers as demonstrated in ep 2.

Some of them people in London think Tetley only make teabags.

Britain is only a small country but extremely regionalised in attitude and tastes.

Well, the contrived nature is to be expected of such a program, but that's the nature of the program. What I liked was essentially how they showed that it indeed was a large amount of work- and no doubt a lot of work was done by unseen people.

Quite honestly the pub looked better before the revamp IMO. Afterwards it looked a little too clean and sterile for my liking. If they limited the revamp to touching everything up but maintaining the general look- and this is far more crucial, menu and beer selection (+ a few taps for their beers) would have been better. There's a reason why the pub has been there since the 16th century.

FWIW the recipe for their summer ale is at the bottom of this page. Looks like it would be drinkable. The method, including mashing between 62 and 69C, is a bit loose.
I watched the first two episodes tonight - they do get a bit tedious - I'll watch Episode 3 out of morbid curiosity!

MORRISSEY AND FOXY'S BLONDE ALE
Makes 40 pints
Ingredients

4 kg Golden Promise malt
260g light crystal malt
39g Styrian Golding hops
32g Fuggles hops
10g Irish moss
15g Cascade hops
1 packet fast-acting yeast
Method
Add 23 litres of water heated to 77 degrees centigradeto a mash tun (an insulated brewing container).
Allow temperature to drop to 72 degrees centigrade and add both malts. Stir to form aporridge. Keep temperature between 62 degrees centigrade and 69 degrees centigrade for 90 minutes (by placing the mash tun in a larger vessel topped up with boiling water).
Strain the liquid (called the wort) into a large panslowly. If it's not clear, return to mash tun and repeat till clear liquid is produced.
Heat to a rolling boil. Add Styrian Golding hops, Fuggles hops and Irish moss. Boil for one hour.
Add Cascade hops and boil for 15 minutes. Cool quickly and transfer liquid only to the fermenting vessel.
Add the yeast, cover and place in a cool room for two days. Siphon off the clear liquid into another fermenting vessel, leaving any flotsam and jetsam. Ferment for three or four days with an airtight lid. Siphon off clear beer and enjoy.

Have only seen episodes 1 and 2 so far.

The recipe concurs with my impression from the show. A strong attempt, better than my own first efforts, plenty of room for improvement.

I wish them well.

Would have to agree with this.

Despite the whole thing seeming a bit contrived, it was reasonably entertaining. I even got the Mrs watching it, but I think most of the interest was in waiting to see how bad they would mess things up.

 

[Stuster]

Add Styrian Golding hops, Fuggles hops and Irish moss. Boil for one hour.

Just to pick on them a bit for their complete lack of brewing knowledge , this really isn't the way to use Irish Moss (or whirlfloc). Add it 5 minutes or so from the end. Adding it at 60 minutes is completely pointless.

For those into beer docos check this out American Beer
if you think it's something you want to watch the torrent is available HERE

Nige.

Love this from th review:-
Because not least among its virtues, the film has an undeniable beer-porn quality. No matter how deeply you may love the familiar old beer that's in your own fridge, you'll still find yourself lusting after some of the hot, sexy, young brews on naked display in "American Beer." These are truly pints to pant over.
