Karst is a strange name for a
beer until you discover that it’s brewed by Cheddar Ales, a brewery known not
for its cheese (yet) but for its rock formations. Add the fact the water used
is from the local hills and it’s filtered by limestone and you’ve got some
really refreshing beers. For some reason I thought this beer had hints of
chocolate which is completely opposite the description given. Perhaps I
remembered a different beer when I tried it in Reading which explains why I thought
it might have been off at Alestones. At any rate, it’s supposed to give
tropical flavours. In researching this post, I also quashed a child-like rumour
that Weston-super-Mare is in the south. I thought it always was because it was
at the end of the motorway, but the clue is in the name. Perhaps in earlier
times the M5 did end at the sea. Or maybe it’s because it’s the end of arguing
in the car as you come off the motorway to see landmarks again.
