A last minute change of plan
The other day was supposed to be Steppingly beer and curry festival. Me and my mates had been planning on going for a while after the great time we had had there last year. Steppingly had everything you could want from a beer festival. There was good beer, good prices, good entertainment, good food and […]
Old Worthy
Some time ago I got a message on twitter asking if I would like to try some beer. Well, it would be rude not to, so I replied to the message, they then asked my address, which I gave them and that was the last I heard about it, that is until this weekend. When […]
So what was it like then?
Three gallons of cider to drink. That was the upshot of the last post. I had one gallon of Ben Crossman’s Home Orchard Special (7.%)and two gallons of Thatcher’s Cheddar Valley (6%). The Cheddar Valley is a cider that I am used to and like a lot, that is why I get a batch every […]
Mini cider tour of Somerset
Recently work has taken me to Somerset. I am seeing cider in my future. The job turned out to be quite strange, working over night in a gym, sleeping for the first half of the day, having lunch time specials in the pub attached to the hotel for breakfast (curry and a pint for breakfast […]

The long and short of it is that your best off with water that has been boiled, to make your ice cubes. You should make them as large as possible and you should make them spherical. It carried on to […]
Rail Ale Trail
Yesterday I was rummaging through my wardrobe trying to find a shirt and… I found one. Why do you want to know this? Because this shirt was a reward for completing the rail ale trail between Watford and St. Albans. This put me in mind of an old website which I made and never got […]

The Saint George and Dragon
It was pointed out recently by DrinkDrank that everyone is talking about the beer on their travels, so I thought I’d mention my recent trip into Devonshire and the pub we stayed with. A job in Stover, Devonshire, sent us south for a days work. We decided that we would stay at a pub we […]
