This was a controversial one (on our side anyway)! I'll be interested in your feedback once you've watched it, but we felt that after the testing we had done there was some interesting stuff that was worth talking about. One thing to note now is that the price is even higher - which I guess is a tariffs thing - though that price jump may not be significant to those that this brewer is targeting (or at least the group that just wants the nicer thing, and has disposable income).

There's not a lot of extra testing to share on this one, but often people ask what kind of stuff ends up on the cutting room floor - so here's a little bit of that:
