Picture the scene. It’s about eight o’clock and the dog starts barking at the front door. He won’t stop and in the end I give in and open the door so he can run out and see for himself that there is nothing there. I follow him out there and sit down on the wall […]
Beer pong confuses me
I’m writing this as a plea to anyone on the internet who can explain to me the game known as beer pong. As far as I can see the basic idea of the game is to line up a series of cups filled with beer, you then throw a ping pong ball at your opponents […]
The Session #79 – What the hell has America done to beer?
I know I write this every month, but for those of you who are new this is The Session. The Session is an idea whereby beer bloggers come together once a month and blog about a similar topic. This month the Session is being hosted by Ding of Ding’s Beer Blog, and he asks: ‘What […]
The Beer Ashes: The Fifth Test
We all know England won the Ashes, they won it ages ago and with the series ending 3-0 it was a bit of a disappointment not to get a clear win/lose at the end. This, however, does not happen here, the final score shall be settled and it will be an English victory, the question […]
The Running Horse
I know that when I stay away from home I end up reviewing the pub that I stayed in and all sounds a bit like a crap review on tripadvisor.com. This is one of those posts. The Running Horse is pub in the village of Littleton, on the outskirts of Winchester and it is […]
#RedBullies
I’d just like to add my voice (such that it is), to what is being said by Melissa Cole and Nate Dawg. Small scale Redwell Brewery are being asked by global mass market coma inducing energy pop producing and fine purveyors of soapbox racing and madmen jumping off cliff top entertainment providers: Red Bull, to […]
The Beer Ashes: The Fourth Test
England have now won back the Ashes properly, (I know we retain the Ashes anyway because the series could have been a draw, but this is now a proper win), can they also make it a clear win in this, the fourth test of the beer ashes? Today’s test, however is not strictly a beer […]
The Beer Ashes Third Test
So the cricket was a bit of a wash out and we’ve ended up with a draw leaving the series undecided whether it will be a draw or an English win. Similarly there is no definite winner in the beer Ashes either, and to top it off the category which I was most fearing on […]
Thistly Cross Cider
Work has recently sent me to the town of Aviemore in the Scottish highlands. Aviemore is a small town with views out across the Cairngorm mountains, which, although impressive, don’t really compete with what I hear it’s like in the Alps. What has this got to do with the price of eggs? I hear you […]
The Session #78 – The Elevator Pitch
OK, here we go again. Another month and another session post. This month The Session is being hosted by James Davidson of Beer Bar Band. James is asking us this month to think of a topic within the subject of beer to blog about, but, and here is the twist, to test our writing […]
