Jez likes real ale, and has the beard to prove it, so when he discovered this fruity little number grown on the biggest smallholding in the world (alledgedly), he was very excited. Laverstoke Real Ale is brewed in North Hampshire on the 2,500 acre biodynamic site run by ex-formula one champion, Jody Scheckter. He started the farm in order to create the healthiest and best tasting food for himself, his family and customers and says, "my goal was to be self sustaining in food - now I can be self-sustaining in organic ale as well!" If this flavourful brew is anything to go by his produce is indeed very tasty and I for one am pleased to see such a dramatic career change. The ale is available from Waitrose from this week, priced at £1.99 a bottle.

Is it bottle-conditioned do you know?
Yes it is! I believe that this means that live yeast is added and the beer continues to ferment in the bottle, unlike some mass-produced beers, which are injected with CO2 to produce their bubbles. But do tell us more ale fan...
