This Bud’s for….
“Please for the love of God don’t consume this filth.” “After taking a sip, my wife refused to kiss me.” “I needed Jager to cleanse my palate.” “Smells of tomato, pepper and asshole.” “There is absolutely no reason to drink this harsh, vile concoction of your own free will.” In the same category as paying […]
The UK’s best beer labels
Roughly two months ago, our transatlantic cousins at the Aleheads published this great post on the best beer labels in America. At the time, it crossed our mind to reciprocate – but we were in the depths of our big beer protest month and had other matters to pursue. Now – and on the first […]
In praise of…The City Arms, Manchester
Landlord Steve (with arm in cast) outside the City Arms Manchester has no shortage of decent places in which to get a few pints – the Marble Arch is becoming renowned far and wide for its microbrewery, and the Port Street Beer House has a selection that guarantees pretty much anybody will find something to […]

BeerCast #65 – Bières en vacances!
BeerCast #65 – MrB had his annual trip to France over the summer, and as ever returned with a carload of booze. Some of this was rare beer from local brasseries, so our 65th BeerCast finds us drinking four very different French beers. It also sees the return of our ‘Can you Picon it?’ feature.

2. Cervoiserie Lancelot Bonnets Rouge (5.5%)
3. Le Moulin de Saint-Martin Ambrée (6.5%)
4. Mor Braz La Bière Cidrée (4.0%)

2011 SIBA Scotland Bottled Beer Awards
The SIBA Bottled Beer awards were judged and announced yesterday, and just like last year the BeerCast were there, taking part.
