Dirty Dicks Pub with Wells & Young’s

Hop Pickers

I have to admit I like Wells and Young’s beers, some of them anyway, the Double Chocolate Stout, London Gold and Special London Ale are amongst my favourites, not only do the drink well but they also make some tasty food too. See here and here. So I was looking forward to to this visit… [Continue Reading]

Fullers Beer

IMAG1147

The last day of the European Beer Blogger Conference was being held at the Fullers Brewery and it wasn’t without a little difficulty that I dragged myself out of bed. The previous ‘Night of Many Beers’ held at the Camden Town Brewery was exactly that, and I wasn’t at all sure how the first beer… [Continue Reading]

Eurpean Beer Bloggers Conference 2011

BBC-Attendee-Badge-London-2011

I’m not going to run through every session or event but I would like to try and share some of my thoughts and opinions from the weekend (sorry none of it will be ground breaking) along with a little bit about some of the beers in some other posts still to come. So I’ll apologise… [Continue Reading]

How I blogged Live @ Beer Blogger Conference 2011

An interesting little experiment this was and in my opinion one of the most entertaining  sessions of the Beer Bloggers Conference 2011. I personally very difficult to write a proper post in five minutes whilst listening the the brewer speak about his beers, but at least I gave it go and braved posting straight to… [Continue Reading]

Live Blog Whychwood Hobgoblin

  A bit of staple beer of mine this one and a beer, in all honesty, that I struggle to find fault with. It’s fairly sweet and has a huge caramely quality to it but it doesn’t overpower the overall taste. The best thing about this beer for me is the fact that it’s the… [Continue Reading]

Live Blog Innis & Gun Canada Day 2011

  I’m quite a fan of oak aged beer and this is a tidy example. Infact most of the reaction from my table was wow! It is quite sweet but I felt that the earthy wood element from the oak aging stopped the sweetness from being over-powering. Aged in oak casks as-aposed to oak chips… [Continue Reading]

Live Blog SA Brains SA Gold

Personally speaking this isn’t my style of beer but by no means does this make it a bad beer. It has a very lagery feel to it but it’s nice and clean and refreshing and has a nice hop bite. Best described as a summer beer garden beer. Cheers Dave www.davelozman.co.uk www.twitter.com/@davelozman Sent from my… [Continue Reading]

Live Blog Windsor & Eton Brewery Black Ipa

Another really nice beer, no photo with this one though as it was served up from a jug straight for the cask. Damn nice though, massively herbal nose and not quite as bitter as some black ipa’s I’ve tasted which honestly makes it more drinkable. Initailly a seasonal brew, it’s now available all year round… [Continue Reading]

Live Blog Bad Attitude Two Penny Porter

                                    This is a first for me and the event I’ve been looking forward to the most. This beer from Bad Attitude has suprised me actually, my very first beer from this Italian brewery. It is quite strong… [Continue Reading]

Crouch Vale Yakima Gold 4.2%

IMAG1118

This is part of my latest purchase from Ales By Mail and I’m glad I got a few as it’s limited to 500. I know I haven’t tried many brews from Crouch Vale so I was pretty excited when this arrived,and, since I’ve got a few hours to kill whilst en-route to the big smoke… [Continue Reading]

Beer Bloggers Conference London 2011

This year sees the first European Beer Bloggers Conference taking place in London and since it’s been arranged during a period of my leave I thought it would be rude not to attend. As you can see from the itinerary below it’s promising to be an action packed weekend with a diverse variety of events…. [Continue Reading]
