So, one of who, your gang of one? Pah.

Well??? No one will judge you here. It's ok, you can tell uncle pondlife.

OK uncie pondlife, right, I am a part time brewer of real ale and have been doing this for a few years and have got the theory (and practice) down pretty good. Since being benched, rather than sit on my arse, I have been getting some commercial brewing kit together to keep me occupied, as i'm reasonably handy like that. Smallish scale, but entry level commercial size.

A mate of mine who has been in catering and pub management wanted in to do sales, marketing, etc, and we may be getting a unit in the near future. Thats a very short version of events; yes I know they don't make much money, and I know there are around 700 micros in the UK to compete with - although meeting some of them has shown that they are actually reasonably freindly to each other and helpful - it's just the big boys they tend to dislike. Also, I have several pubs willing to try it. I am sure the collective knowledge on here will express their opinion - and it is welcome.

We had a sit down last friday, in the pub, to go over beer styles and prospective names for such brews, I had scribbled down some ideas for names for different ale styles and for IPA (India Pale Ale) had scribbled down "Shawadiwadi IPA - much hoppiness, plenty cheapness". He seemed to like it although not understand it, and I couldn't explain the origin, just that it was reference to a, usually, Indian contractor - who provides much quickness, plenty cheapness.

So, I thought I would ask the question. Although I don't think I could get away with a mildly racist reference to imported workers - or could I?

I think it's great

(But you might find that there's only a few hundred people in the country who'd get the joke.)

"Shawadiwadi IPA - much hoppiness, plenty cheapness".

Genius.

This time next year, you'll be a millionaire.

It's quite unfortunate that.

Brilliant - go for it

way back in 2007 (wow, time flies) a troll appeared and tried to spam us with his services and I believe Buffoon is responsible for the coining of the term Bob Shawadiwadi.

Shawadiwadi IPA - it does the needful.
