Brummie Brews
The delights of a business trip to the heart of the West Midlands can be offset, if you know where to look. Here on the BeerCast we’ve been banging on about the Wellington at Bennet’s Hill for years (see here, here and here). Recently I was back and managed only the most fleeting of trips […]
Dogfish Head 90min IPA
We’ve been spoiled a bit on the BeerCast recently when we cast our minds to the subject of Imperial IPA’s. Those intensely hopped, low malt pale ales that originated in the USA are a favourite here (and a favourite of many other beer lovers on both sides of the pond). Over the past few months […]

Loosely translated as something along the lines of […]
Canned beer put to the test
