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 […]
The Second Beer Ashes Test
OK, so England are now 2-0 up in the Ashes series. This is good. Unfortunately it’s not going so well for England in the Beer Ashes when in the last test Australia trounced them with their Little Creatures Pale Ale. Can England regain the lost ground with the next category: Golden Ales. What’s on offer? […]
Adnam’s First Rate Gin
With the weather so warm at the moment I need a drink which is really refreshing. Something cold. Something crisp and clean. I want something (I can’t believe I’m saying this) better than a beer. Don’t get me wrong, an ice cold pils would be nice and I wouldn’t kick someone in the eye if […]
