I might have a glass of beer: Wait, yes it IS your grandad’s homebrew – so what?

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015/06/yes-its-your-grandads-homebrew-so-what.html

I might have a glass of beer. Tuesday, 16 June 2015. Wait, yes it IS your grandad’s homebrew – so what? It’s a truism that advertising and other PR campaigns are disproportionately aimed either at the young and would-be hip, for reasons which are better explored elsewhere. It seems to me it’s as true of beer as of anything else. Do an older, beer-bellied and tatty-jumpered crowd come? Uh-oh – no double page feature in the Sunday paper for you! I asked George a few questions about his brewing. I wanted to...

I might have a glass of beer: Well, what’s wrong with being sexy?

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015/04/well-whats-wrong-with-being-sexy.html

I might have a glass of beer. Tuesday, 14 April 2015. Well, what’s wrong with being sexy? So now you know. Our motion about sexism. In the beer industry for the CAMRA AGM – many thanks again to all the people who commented and helped develop it – was rejected by the conference procedures committee on the grounds, basically, that everything we were proposing was already CAMRA policy and/or the law of the land. I have appealed the decision, but do not expect anything to come of it. But what do I know?

I might have a glass of beer: I drank bitter all night

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-drank-bitter-all-night.html

I might have a glass of beer. Friday, 26 June 2015. I drank bitter all night. I didn't intend to go to the Glasgow Real Ale Festival and spend all night drinking bitter from old-fashioned family breweries. I really didn't. The sweet yet dry and austere flavour of Harvey's is common across all the beers I sample from the proper 3.5% IPA to the stronger, sweeter Thomas Paine. But it’s so luscious that a half is enough. I am greedy and try to cram in a second at closing time, and it's too much. You'd think ...

I might have a glass of beer: Giving succour to the enemy

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015/02/giving-succour-to-enemy.html

I might have a glass of beer. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. Giving succour to the enemy. Dear old CAMRA seems to have a knack for putting its foot in things. For Tuesday night saw the award for CAMRA’s Parliamentarian of the Year go to the MP for Burton-on-Trent, Andrew Griffiths. The rationale is that Griffiths has - as he well ought to do as chair of the All-Party Beer Group - supported the cut in beer duty that CAMRA has called for for many years, and was finally implemented in 2013. It will most certai...

I might have a glass of beer. Thursday, 12 February 2015. How can CAMRA lead in combatting beer sexism? Note: This post has been edited.]. I don’t have time at the moment to write an introduction explaining why this document is here, but I am just putting this draft up here so that people can comment. Thanks to all who have already made suggestions for improvements. On paper CAMRA is already committed to equality. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the discussion.

I might have a glass of beer: November 2014

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

I might have a glass of beer. Tuesday, 11 November 2014. Will WEST wreck what Punch couldn’t? The new layout as proposed by Punch in 2012. The saga of the Halt Bar continues. I’ve been sent drawings of the proposed refurbishment to be completed in the next few months as the transformation of the pub, presently trading as “Pop up WEST”, into “WEST on the Corner” is completed. Sadly it looks like the same thing is being planned that Punch tried to do in 2012. Links to this post. West on the corner. Narziss...

I might have a glass of beer: May 2015

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

I might have a glass of beer. Saturday, 9 May 2015. Last goodbye to the Brauhaus. I’ve been hoping against hope that it wouldn’t come true, but — it looks like my brief taste of Brauhaus Schweinfurt beer in December. Was my last after all. The Russian brewery that was supposedly going to buy and continue the business cancelled at the last minute, and no other investor could be found to take on the brewery, which had been losing money for some years.

I might have a glass of beer: Iain Turnbull

http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.com/2015/06/iain-turnbull.html

I might have a glass of beer. Thursday, 18 June 2015. A while back I went to a brewer’s funeral. Iain Turnbull was a man I hardly knew at all—in fact I only ever met him twice; but he made such an impression on me that I had to go. There’s a much better tribute to Iain than I could write here. And some history of Fisherrow, in the form of its archived website over here. 10 May 2016 at 21:27. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
