Countdown to Craft Beer Rising

Hands up if you have tickets for this year’s Craft Beer Rising? I can’t put my hands up because I’m typing but I will be definitely be there after missing the last few. So if you’re going on Thursday evening then you might see me, so please do say “hi”.

I’m Back!

I realise I’ve been an absolute slacker on the blog-front. The lure of Instagram got the better of me, with its ease and story function becoming my platform of choice for most of my recent beer-tinged exploits. I’m sorry.

However, I’ve decided to dust off my Wordpress and regularly submit articles to this blog. I promise.

Blueberry Addiction

I do love a tasty blueberry-tinged beer so if you have any recommendations beer buddies, then send them this way please. When I worked for Marston’s I was lucky enough to go to visit Shipyard Brewery in Portland, Maine and sipping that Seadog Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale was an absolute dream! My obsession grew on […]

Counting down to the Beavertown Extravaganza

It’s only a few days now until this event and I really am beside myself. SERIOUSLY. How do I prepare for such an epic event? Normally if I’m going out to a massive meal or buffet extravaganza I’ll wear elasticated trousers but for this event what’s a girl to do? There’s going to be 60 […]

Beer Travels – Havana

However, after sampling a few margheritas (it is Mexico after all) I pondered my beer options.  After scouring supermarkets and local […]

Beer Travels – Cigar City Brewing

After managing to get my hands on a can of Jai Alai from Warwick Real Ale I was intrigued to find out more about Cigar City Brewing whilst staying in Orlando for Star Wars Celebration. Equipped with hire car for the entire stay, I decided to get behind the wheel and make the 80 minute […]

Brews & Trews – A day in York

I recently had the pleasure of spending just under 24 hours in York. It was actually my first visit (well, that I can remember) and I was a little too excited to sample its delights. My reason for visiting? Well, I was invited to attend the IoIC awards by Purple Monster who were up for the […]

Coffee & Beer – The Ultimate Buzz

I love coffee and I love beer, so when the two are combined I get majorly interested. There’s loads of coffee beers on the market and I’m pretty sure I have at least another thousand to taste – wish me luck. Thanks to my buddies at Coffee Architects I visited the London Coffee Festival in […]
