For this week’s Tuesday Tastings I’m going very seasonal, with a selection of harvest beers appropriate for the autumn.

If the title of this week’s Tuesday Tastings post isn’t entirely clear, I’m focusing entirely on Gose beers this week. They are a great hot weather beer, light and tart and refreshing.
