Today I challenged Martin of @The Homebrew Challenge to a mystery brew box. We each sent a box with three unknown ingredients that we have to brew a holiday inspired beer with. I attempt to make a Buttered Rum inspired British Strong ale with a wild ingredient twist.
Go check out Martin’s video to see what I sent him:
