Are You Tasting the Pith?: "Mikkeller's Big Book of Beer" by Mikkel Borg Bjergso and Pernille Pang

Are You Tasting the Pith? Opinion. Comment. Beer. Opinionated Comment About Beer. Monday, 9 March 2015. Mikkellers Big Book of Beer by Mikkel Borg Bjergso and Pernille Pang. You can say what you like about Mikkeller, but damn, that is one successful brand. The beers are great, albeit with a few conceptual mishaps along the way. This book is similar, in that overall it's quite inspiring, but not without a few niggles. Implies, a sour ale tastes sour like a lambic. Wild ales, which are often paler and have.

Tandleman's Beer Blog: Do We Like That One?
http://tandlemanbeerblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/do-we-like-that-one.html
Tandleman's Random and Particular Thoughts on Beer. Monday, 27 July 2015. Do We Like That One? I'm not a drinker of own brand beers really. I kind of think they are likely to be not very good with one or two exceptions. These exceptions are usually where a very good brewery has been commissioned to produce a particular kind of beer as part of a range. But what about those low end "cooking lagers" which aren't brands, but are set up to compete with "brands"? First up was Galahad Lager. Gives every impress...

Tandleman's Beer Blog: Bass in the Sun
http://tandlemanbeerblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/bass-in-sun.html
Tandleman's Random and Particular Thoughts on Beer. Monday, 15 June 2015. Bass in the Sun. You don't encounter Draught Bass that often these days in my experience. I know of a couple of places where it is sold, but I wouldn't go there just to seek the beer out as such. It wasn't always so. I used to make many a pilgrimage to the White Star. On a gorgeous summer's day last week, I was meeting a friend in Helensburgh, a town I know well from my youth in the West of Scotland. The Commodore Hotel. Draught Ba...

The Post Craft World

Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog. Beer blogging since 2007, covering real ale, craft beer, pubs and British beer history. The Post Craft World. It is inevitable that, by the time a trend goes ‘mainstream’, those who first championed it will be moving on. And so it is with ‘craft beer’. 2014 is set to be the year of craft beer, with the term ‘ craft ales. So of course the cognoscenti, after some years of grumbling, have begun to reject the phrase outright. Mdash; Yeastie Boys (@yeastieboys) November 6, 2013.

Tandleman's Beer Blog: Fight
http://tandlemanbeerblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/fight.html
Tandleman's Random and Particular Thoughts on Beer. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. We are always being told by the anti drink lobby of "alcohol fuelled violence", but I have remarked here and in comments hither and thither that I can't remember the last time I saw a fight in a pub. Well I can now. Sort of. On my usual Wednesday out at the Regal Moon. An unusual incident I think you'll agree. I'm still guessing though that it will be a long time before I "see" a fight in a pub again. 19 May 2015 at 10:44. This blo...

Tandleman's Beer Blog: Another Thing the Pub is Best For
http://tandlemanbeerblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/another-thing-pub-is-best-for.html
Tandleman's Random and Particular Thoughts on Beer. Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Another Thing the Pub is Best For. One of our Sunday table from the Tandle Hill Tavern has died. We knew it was coming and so did he. Yesterday after his funeral we met, not at the Tavern, but at the nearby Ship, thus allowing the landlord of the THT to join us to see the lad off in a style he'd have liked. We had a piss up. Sounds like the perfect send off for a pub man. 29 July 2015 at 22:46. 30 July 2015 at 08:57. Nautical vi...

Ed's Beer Site: June 2015

A site where a man with far too much interest in beer gets to write about it. Saturday, 27 June 2015. A visit to Orval brewery. This was the thing that swung it for me to fork out for Belgian Study Tour: a trip to Orval brewery. It was very good, and I did get a crate of the stuff whilst I was there, but sadly I also learnt that even in a monastery brewery the work of the devil can be found. Taking some pictures when we arrived. Here's some more pictures of copper vessels. After boiling the beer is centr...

Ed's Beer Site: Beer à la mode
http://edsbeer.blogspot.com/2015/08/beer-la-mode.html
A site where a man with far too much interest in beer gets to write about it. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Beer à la mode. The French may have a penchant for crapping in holes in the ground but they are not totally uncivilised, as I was reminded when I heard Léo Ferré. Being played as the background music in a climbing gear shop. And although France is not renowned as a great beer country their malt based beverages are not entirely without merit. Still, Chamonix has it's own brewpub. So I had to call in:.

A site where a man with far too much interest in beer gets to write about it. Thursday, 16 July 2015. Volunteering has its rewards. And I'm not talking about some vague warm glow from having done a good deed. Oh no, I mean getting to go round breweries and drink vast quantities of free beer. Having volunteered for a shift. As I'm past my drinking prime the 10 O'clock start was a little daunting, but sometimes you just have to go for it. First stop was Triple fff brewery. Oh well, it was free. We had sand...
