Brew Dog inspired IPA - Brewing

This is the other beer I brewed last week.  Tasting from the fermeter at about 10 days reveals a very bitter beer.  The bitterness lingers on your tongue for a few minutes.

Little Creatures Pale Ale - Brewing

Last week I put down two beers while I had some leave from work.  Little Creatures Pale Ale and a Brew Dog inspired beer.

I used this guide as a base for the Little Creatures Pale Ale recipe.  Little Creatures pale ale was a beer I really loved back when I could drink glutinous beer.
