Keg is expensive - and here to stay 14 Jun 2011 | 11:25 pm
I don't think there can be any doubt that Tandleman is right about keg in general being more expensive than cask and craft keg being markedly so (where markedly = 30p-50p). Two points: 1) Craft keg ...
Sparkler wars II - Is this the way to Amarill-O? 30 Oct 2010 | 01:13 am
Again, I start a blogpost referencing BGBW Beer Writer of the Year 2009 Pete Brown. You have to pity the fellow; he goes all the way to south Wales to get hold of some Otley Amarill-O for his latest ...
Number of booze kids admitted to hospital falls to 0.103% - Alcohol Concern 23 Oct 2010 | 11:11 pm
I'm doing a Pete Brown. Saturday mornings are always fun for telly addicts: bit of James Martin fooling around with other chefs on BBC1; luscious Nigella cooking something up for men of a certain age...

Call me Old Fashioned... 22 Mar 2010 | 04:01 am
Beer geeks look away now. One thing we do well in this country is pubs. Low beams, warm fires, foaming pints of nut brown ale, a slothful hound, the bedraggled excess of the cricket team, the wannabe ...
Achel not be the end of it 9 Mar 2010 | 06:55 am
You never seem to read much about Achel, the relative newbies of Belgian trappist brewing. Open for business since 1998, they nevertheless come in under the radar, never starring in debates about how ...
Imperial stout from Royal Ascot 23 Feb 2010 | 11:53 pm
I for one think Ascot Ales should be given a royal charter. Delighted by the quality of the brewery's Cascade-hopped Alligator Ale (4.6%) and the properly bitter experience of its Anastasia's Exile St...
