Bostin Father's Day

Before crossing the boarder, marrying my Mum and raising two wonderful daughters my Dad was a proud resistant of the Black Country. So for Father's Day I decided to give him a taste of the 'good ode days' and buy him some bottles of Holden's beer.

Bottles wrapped up with individual tags.

I gave him a bottle of the Holden's Mild, described as  "a bold chestnut-red mild with nutty biscuit notes with a delicious hint of chocolate. Brewed using amber malt, caramalt, black malt and choicest fuggles it is an easy drinking traditional black country mild"...

and a bottle of the Holden's Golden "an impressive golden straw coloured medium bodied ale, brewed using the finest English Maris Otter malts and choicest Fuggles"...

Based in Dudley, Holden's Brewery has been in existence since 1810 and is still a independent family run business today, one of only 33 in the UK. Brewing a range of cask ales and bottled beers they have won awards from CAMERA and run a number of pubs in the area.
