As yesterday was my birthday (or, as I like to put it, the 26th anniversary of my 29th birthday) we took the day off and Sarah and I went up to London to visit the Ideal Homes Show. Only plastic beer available in the bars at Earls Court, but there was a temporary bar in […]

By Brian, on April 3rd, 2009 By Brian, on March 28th, 2009 Last night (Friday) I had a bottle of each of three beers that were similar in style and strength. They also had another attribute in common – see if you can tell what it is before the end of this post. The first was Brakspear Oxford Gold (4.6%). This is an organic bottle-conditioned beer – […] By Brian, on March 23rd, 2009 Just catching up on the weekend’s beer experiences. Friday evening started with a dinner of roast belly pork, so I had the usual snuffle around the beer cupboard and decided on a bottle of Fuller’s Discovery (4.5%).

I thought I really ought to give it another chance – just to make sure, you understand. You might have noticed that I’m quite a regular drinker of Marston’s bottled beers – mainly because we can buy a […] March 5th, 2009 | Category: Beer Diary, Buying Beer |
Comments are closed By Brian, on February 25th, 2009 I popped down to our local Threshers yesterday evening, to stock up on cold lagers to knock back whilst watching the footie on TV – for some reason I find that I can either focus on the beer or on the footie, but not both, so usually quaff something undemanding when I’m watching footie!
