Shaftesbury Cream Ale
So, it's been a busy couple weeks. I ended up resigning my job, and taking a new position.
I am now a satellite office for a Canadian lumber trading firm.
I've known some of the guys in the office for many, many years, and the owner sold lumber to my Dad in the 1970s - 80s.
Anyway, to the brewing.
Many a time, after a day of skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb, we would sit around in the pub at the bottom of the hill and kill many a pitcher of Shaftesbury Cream Ale.
I'd like to brew something like it. Googled for a recipe, but didn't find much.
Anybody heard, seen, know of any??
I've never tried it but I'm headed to North Vancouver in a couple of weeks to pick up some wine, I'll look around and see if I can find that beer, or info on it.
I had a Nitro cream ale from a local brewey recently. Man, I need to get a Nitro system.
Are we talking American Cream Ale (trending towards an American Pale Lager with a large amount of corn/maize in the grist) or an English/Irish Cream Ale (like Wexford, typically served on Nitro)?
Never heard of it but I found someone's recipe for a beer based off that cream ale here. It probably isn't a clone but it might be a start.
Apparently, Shaftesbury was bought by Sleeman Breweries Ltd in 1999. Looks like Sleeman owns a lot of other brands so getting a hold of some one who can help you might not be so easy. Even so, I'd send out some emails and maybe you'll get some kind of help.

Not really sure.
It's been since 2002 that I last had one. I remember it as dark, not very hoppy, smooth mouth feel.
Was only doing an occasional extract batch then, just glad that they were drinkable.
There is no second S is Shaftebury. I googled it and came up withthis extract version: Here's the link if you want to read it or contact the person who made it.

Cool, DC to the rescue. Thanks guy. Damned if I don't have a way to do that.
Just sub Safale US-05 for the Wyeast 1056, and I'm off to the races.
Probably go with 1.65 LME, 5.25# 2 Row, & 4oz Crystal 80.
Gonna do it tomorrow. Don't know, may kick that C-80 up a little.
Thanks.

I wish you the best Brewski. Now is a tough time for changes, but you would not have done it if you were not thinking ahead. I hope soon to be able to breath again with a new position. Being under employed is tough. God's Blessings on the new job.
Now, back to brewing. Let us know how the Shaftebury Cream Ale comes out.
Thanks Crab,
Yeah, it was a tough decision, and will be tough getting going.
But do you stay with no future, or go where a decent future is possible?
I chose to work with friends, instead of for some people who I felt were going to use me for a while & then "let me go", due to some company downturn.
Shaftebury smelled great, I'm going to try to get my buddy in Vancouver to send me a bottle.
Hey Brewski, I'm back from Vancouver and I picked up quite a few new canadian brews. I got some Saftebury Costal Cream ale. PM me if you would like me to ship you a few. I'm going river rafting the rest of the week. I'll be back Saturday.
Cheers!
