Christmas is coming

We had a great morning at Alder Carr Farmers' Market on Saturday tasting and selling our new Gunner's Daughter christmas puddings, new for this year, and made for us using our ale by Coles Traditional Puddings in Essex. I was able to try out the delicious combo of Gunner's Daughter Christmas pud with Alder Carr's amazing Christmas ice cream - a treat our Christmas party customers will be able to choose from our seasonal menu which starts on 1st Dec. I have to report it was scrummy, a match made in heaven! Roll on December!!

We sold a lot of our celebratory ale for St Edmund's Day too in mini casks as well as 'bright' in carry kegs - quite a lot of customers commented on how they'd read about the brew in The East Anglian earlier in the week or heard about it yesterday morning on BBC Radio Suffolk. It was surprising how few people knew that St Edmund was our country's first patron saint - we need to reinstate him, he's far more eligible than St George!
