Old Dairy Brewery – Blue Top
The British summer. What I need is a great beer that will remind me of those summer meadows, freshly cut hay, the dreadful hayfever I got this year. In fact, what would be great is a mildly warm summer since its been pretty lousy this year. Lets reach for that IPA then…
Greene King – IPA
I would have said that this was going to be an English IPA, because it says so on the bottle; however, some other websites beg to differ. I am going with this being an IPA since it hit a lot of the right boxes when going through the tasting notes
Curious – IPA
Time to put down the Tempranillo for a while and get back to beer. Curious is a range of beers from a local brewer, Chapel Down in Tenterden, Kent, who also happen to do wines (mainly wines). This is their IPA
Duchy Originals – IPA (2012)
Imagine if you will, after a hard day of doing whatever needs to be done, The Prince of Wales retires to his garden shed and starts brewing up beer.

Sleaford Brewery – Hop Me Up – Route 17
A word of advice: if you are going to experiment with new photo ideas try it out first on something that you have more than one of, or something static that allows you to mess with it before you take the photo of beer (or whatever)
Windsor and Eaton – Conqueror 1075
John Lewis on Oxford Street (London) were having a guest beers week (could have been guest foods week also, but I wasn’t paying attention) with a selection of beers coming from Berkshire. The Black IPA style stood out, can’t recall having this (or even seeing this) before. Good stuff.
Thornbridge – Jaipur
When writing about beers I tend to choose one, write about it and then maybe check what the other people think, this way I am writing about something that my own opinion rather than being influenced by others – which is not easy, but I like to remain as neutral as possible. Choosing a beer...
Caledonian Brewery – Deuchars IPA
This beer has won loads and loads of awards starting in 1991 right through to 2007. The most coveted accolade , of course, will appear after the jump…
Marston’s – Old Empire IPA
The Welsh seaside: Fish and Chips (which I hadn’t had for a very long time), sea air, world cup football on the telly, excellent side/back lighting from a setting sun, plus I can’t even remember the last time I had anything from Burton on Trent. Coincidentally, there was a TV program all about them (well railway...
