Hope to see you then.
Chris Arnt brews Baltic Porter with Hutton and Smith
Barley Mob President Emeritus Chris Arnt had the opportunity to brew a Baltic Porter with local brewery Hutton and Smith.
Chris’s Baltics are excellent. So are Hutton and Smith’s. How awesome is this beer going to be? We can’t wait.
