  • The Geese & Fountain Gin List
    The Geese & Fountain Gin List Updated July 2020 Aber Falls Orange Marmalade Gin 2.80 The village of Abergwyngregyn is home to the distillery, and sits at the foot of the famous Aber Falls waterfall. Attracting over 50,000 visitors a year, this picturesque spot is easily accessible, just off the A55 and a stone’s throw from the coast. Previously a slate works in the 19th century, a margarine factory during the world wars, and more recently a drinks wholesale depot, the Aber Falls distillery building has been lovingly restored and refurbished, proving the ideal place to create unique spirits and demonstrate the passion and skill in distilling craftsmanship. Aber Falls have made their name as a whisky distillery ("Distyllfa Whisgi") but have introduced a range of contemporary gins, of which the orange marmalade is spectacular. Using Welsh-inspired botanicals to give an authentic sense of place to their spirits, the gin boasts a balance of sweet and bitter orange flavours, with the pine flavour of juniper: a citrus hit with warming aftertaste, guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. Adnam’s Rising Sun Gin 3.50 Adnam’s are better known for their brewing than their distilling, but the quality in their spirits has been turning heads lately. As the sun rises above the North Sea, the rye in the fields around Adnam’s distillery in Suffolk is amongst the first to enjoy the early morning rays, or so they say. They add Japanese matcha tea and lemongrass to supplement the usual botanicals, making a sharp tasting, refreshing gin. Audemus Pink Pepper Gin 4.25 Launched in 2013, Pink Pepper Gin is distilled in the living room of founder Miko Abouaf's house in the centre of Cognac.

  • Brewing Science Graduate Profile
    Brewing Science Graduate Profile Charlie Killeen MSc Brewing Science & Practice 2014-15. Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, Giltbrook, Nottingham. Tell us about your current role and what it means in terms of the day to day work you get involved with…. My current job role is Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, a small 25 barrel plant that focuses on producing craft beer. As is the case in a majority of microbreweries, set job roles tend to overlap and can be a lot more hands on compared to larger companies. Current day to day tasks include wort production, racking, yeast handling, stock taking, cleaning and running brewery tours. You name it I’ve put my hand to it at some point! Is this the kind of role you thought you might get involved in when you first came to study brewing at Nottingham? Yes, as I was interested in getting into the craft brewing industry. This role has given me a lot of freedom to apply some of my masters knowledge to real life situations and a great opportunity to get commercial training in all aspects of the brewing process. How does working in the industry match your personal aspirations and expectations of it? I went into the industry quite open minded with my own personal goal of becoming a great brewer. I think played to my advantage as I had no real set ‘expectations’ so to speak, but I have come the realise that every brewery is different and that the industry is ever changing and competitive. In what ways was the MSc Brewing Science & Practice helpful in preparing you for a career in the brewing industry? It gave me a lot more confidence in entering a new industry that can sometimes be a bit daunting at first.

Cottingham had the advantage of having a railway station and being one stop away from Hull in one direction and Beverley in the other. We arrived on a Friday lunchtime and headed first towards Hull for a leisurely wander around Hull’s Old Town in the afternoon before catching a bus to the East side of town to watch Hull Kingston Rovers playing Rugby League against Huddersfield. Hull Old Town is close to the bus and train interchange and was a pleasant surprise with plenty of The Chequers Micropub, Beverley historic pubs in the Old Town’s lanes.
