The UK Government’s ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme launches tomorrow (3rd August) and many of our favourite indie breweries will be omitted, so I want to use my little platform to give our craft beer community a boost. EVERY DAY that the Government scheme is running I’ll buy someone a beer e.g […]

Back in June 2015 I was invited to take a trip to the home of Shipyard Brewing Company in Portland, Maine.
Thanks to Marston’s for giving me the honour of visiting their buddies over the pond and also giving me the opportunity to sample a small piece of Boston.
Here’s a handy tour diary of my travels.
