Galway, IrelandTom is an extremely accomplished brewer with years of home brewing experience prior to his ascent through the ranks of Ireland’s acclaimed Galway Bay Brewing – where he currently occupies the esteemed role of head brewer. The Land & Labour project is his own investment in something slow and unpredictable.
The unpredictable nature of wild yeast means it’s more a case of nudging the beers in the right direction, with a home grown mixed culture of Brettanomyces, Saccharomyces, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus. The focus for Tom is creating a clean and delicate mixed fermentation, and he’s been building up a store of 1 and 2 year mixed ferm batches, which, following on from the Beavertown birthday, he hopes to release at LCBF.Find them in the HonestBrew Vault as part of their Beer Tour.
