In 5: Dark, Pleasant, Sweet, Drinkable, Deceptive
We’d never heard of the Cottage Brewing Company before and the thought of a Cottage Brewing Industry, with people all around the country brewing beer in their back garden filled us with pleasure. Our home brew kit has long been overlooked in the cellar alongside a couple of bikes, some smokeless fuel, and an old bag of cement… gone hard. It’s high time we got it back out!
Atlantic Ale then… Well it looks stunning, dark and broody like the deep Atlantic abyss. Try not to let the smell of whisky put you off this magnificent brew as it’s not at all what you expect as it reaches your lips and unleashes a flowing torrent of flavour. Dark chocolates with a hint of liquorice hit your palette, but not too much, as this unexpectedly light beer drinks away.
We considered adding some Titanic puns but the mere thought of it left us with that sinking feeling.

Many people believe that the taste of a beer should reflect the place that it originated, in this case Barnsley. Thankfully with Barnsley Gold, this is not the case. Instead, you can drink this tender brew while laughing at the audacity of the brewer to combine the words – Barnsley and Gold. Perhaps this would be a bit harsh toward the brewer however in fairness, this is the only gold that Barnsley has ever produced and as such, should be celebrated as an achievement in itself.
