Last week I had the opportunity to visit Wetherspoons Beer Festival in Brighouse and sample a couple of the American Craft Brews I mentioned earlier in the month, and I am glad to report that they were both nice beers. The Mordue Red Rye Riwaka and Odell Ninety Schilling had a nice amount of hops [...]

As you know I am normally a pale ale drinker, but recently have been getting into stouts to a greater degree. You will know I have recommended the hoppier ales from Brewdog many times in this column, and I had the luck to spot a new stout from them in a local supermarket last weekend. [...]

After 2 weeks in Majorca, Its good to back in the UK, at least in one sense, some variation in beer taste.

The PPL are prosposing to increase fees substantially with extra fees for “special [...]

As regular readers will know I am a huge fan of the beers produced by Brew Dog based near Aberdeen. Their Punk IPA, 5am Saint and Hardcore IPA are all excellent beers, although you have to be a serious hop head to really enjoy the Hardcore at 9.2%. Although the brewery is only 4 years [...]
