6 wheeled Cars



Who can remember a 6 wheeled car in formula one. Doesn't it look dated - like something out of Thunderbirds! It was the Elf Tyrrell driven by Jodi Schekter. World champion I believe in 1979 but not in the Tyrrell. So what happened to the Saffer world champion? He is now an English farmer running Laverstoke Park Farm.

This is what he says about Laverstoke Park Farm Organic Ale "I started the farm to produce the best tasting healtiest food without compromise for my family and myself. To follow this we follow nature very strictly and have two principles we follow - slow groeing plants and animals generally taste bettew; and biodiversity is key to a healthy natural environment. We hope you can taste the difference in our beer."

This is a 5% ABV bitter made from old traditional hop varieties balanced with aditional organic but not specified hops.The soils are supplemented with the correct fungi to enhance the barley and hops and their flavours. Jodi says this is his first beer which implies there will be more.

This beer is only available from Laverstoke Park Farm or Waitrose supermarkets. It is a good beer but not outstanding bottle conditioned beer. It needs more tasting to be sure about it so I will have to buy a few more bottles to really assess it.
