Live Beer Blogging!

So here it is- the infamous Live Beer Blogging Event- brewers come and effectively chat you up for a few minutes and convince you that their beer is the best. When I say live, I mean live, so please forgive grammatical errors, bizarre punctuation and mad statements!
On my table are:
Mark Dredge www.pencilandspoon.com,
Nathan Nolan www.mrdrinkneat.com
Des De Moor www.desdemoor.co.uk
Tim Holt from The Brewery History Society
Check out their tweets and blogs to see their thoughts too.

A tongue party- what a zing, unsual in something this colour.

Something very old fashioned about this beer, the bottle even looks like its been in a cellar for a few years.
4.43.
Bad Attitude Brewery-  Lorrenzo , an Italian irritated by the dull scene in Italy at the time. Made cans before BrewDog.  
4.44
Two Penny Porter (Birra Artiginale.) Love the bottle, would make The Sex Pistols proud. Doesn’t taste 8.15% I get the impression this has been going down a storm around the room.
4.46
Windsor and Eton.
4.47
Conqueror  Black IPA. Ive had this one before- yum yum yum! As they say, not what you’d expect, Nathan next to me just made an exclamation of surprise.
4.48
‘Changing perceptions in beer’ Paddy the brewer says. Hugely popular, will other brewers be making it?
4.49
Des De Moor says ‘It does challenge perceptions- it’s really strange!’
4.51
Brains- SA Gold.  Ffion  Jones says ‘5.7% Golden Ale , developed 5 years ago.’ Its more popular in England than Wales.

Tasty! Smoky, bourbon sweetness. Delicious.

There is a hit of fruit after too- 8.3% This has really changed my views of Innis and Gunn.

Gerry from Wychwood with his own beer pouring goblin. Hobgoblin 5.2.

They make 11 million in bottle, 6 million in cask. First brewed for a local publicans’ daughter’s wedding.  Weddings with Beer- one of my favourite subjects.

  2. I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
