GABS Brewer: Andy Miller from Young Henrys

What sort of beer are you making for GABS?
Vienna Lager infused with French Earl Grey.

What’s it called?
Blanche Devereaux.

Where did the inspiration come from?
We tried a French Earl Grey iced tea and really liked the idea of trying to make an iced tea beer. The smooth and slightly sweet malt character of the Vienna Lager style seemed like a perfect fit to the fruity character of the tea.

What’s the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever added to a beer?
Truffles and bacon.

GABS drinking preference – tasting paddles or a full glass?
Full glass.
