Tried an interesting beer on Saturday evening, it's a recipe from Boston (USA) firm Trillium and the can art-work and detailing is all as per the American version of this beer but it wasn't brewed in Boston, it was brewed in Manchester! One of the leading UK craft brewers called Cloudwater are doing a "beer recipe swap" with Trillium, i.e. they took a popular Trillium double IPA recipe ("Uppercase") and brewed it here, whilst Trillium took a famous Cloudwater recipe and brewed it over there, they even used the authentic branded cans. What a great idea for those of us who'd love to try famous US beers but can't get hold of them here in the UK. The beer was delicious, typically American, completely unrestrained and over the top in every way but so very good! Hopefully this trend will catch on and we'll see some more famous US brews from over there popping up over here!
