A pint of Sign of Spring from the Stonehenge brewery
Last night I went to the White Horse for the Wednesday night quiz and saw a new beer on the pumps. It was Sign Of Spring from the Stonehenge brewery in Wiltshire. I had a shock when it was served – it was green. I had a pint of green beer! Fortunately it tasted good.
The green beer is one of the guest beers on offer in the For The Love Of Ale beer festival. The festival runs from 24th March until 20th April and will feature 15 beers over the four weeks. Each week there will be a different selection of beers.
There are leaflets at the pub with tasting notes for each of the beers on offer.
