It’s 7 in the morning. It’s the middle of December and it wont be daylight for another hour. Not that that matters to me because I am working nights all the way to Christmas this year. ^Horray^. I am just about to go to sleep but before I do I thought I’d share this rather […]
The session – Porter
This months beer blogging session is titled porter. We’re supposed to talk about the style in whatever capacity we feel is appropriate and quite simply, I forgot. So tonight I was in the supermarket desperately looking for a porter to drink. The Guinness was nice by the way. It is amazing how few porters there […]
Luton Beer Festival 2016
Another year and another round of all our favourite beer festivals begins. There are several local festivals in and around the Bedfordshire area and they are nicely spread across the year. Always the first is Luton, which is run by the South Bedfordshire CAMRA branch. Despite the hectic nature of life I had a free […]
The Curfew Club and a cheeky pint

Real ale really is the real thing (did you really need convincing?)
I know it’s been a long time since I last posted but truthfully there hasn’t been much to blog about. I haven’t really been drinking anything that interesting and work has meant that life has been plodding on without going anywhere or doing anything of any note. Or at least that is what I thought. […]
I’m going to go on a little rant now…
I have just got back from the Isle of Wight and this year’s Isle of Wight music festival where a fun time was had by all. There was one thing there which really got my goat. The Beer. Now I’m sure that the powers that be have done a lot of market research and deduced […]
