As you may know from my blog, Gnasty the Gnome has become a SheppyBrew Brewing assistant and drinking buddy. He is also a Christmas gift designed to help me get over my irrational fear of gnomes. Plus, he is a Chicago BlackHawks fan.
As
Gnasty and I have become beer-buddies, we decided to collaborate on a
beer recipe. It turns out that Gnomes love English Pale Ales ...
especially ESB's and the fact that I had to brew one seemed like reason
enough to make this the beer we worked on together.
