In over in isle of Lewis this week, Stornoway. Mostly been drinking Guinness as there is a lack of other real beer (Only when I'm off shift). But I'm home on Tuesday for a week so planning on brewing up a beer for the summer.

This batch has been back sweetened with Stevia.
I may have added a tad too much. Maybe my pallet cant taste an aftertaste, that you get with other artificial sweeteners, but I really like itInsecure people try to make you feel smaller.
