Scottish Beer Festival 2008 Lineup
Summer’s here, and the boozy festival season is upon us once again. We like a beer festival or two here at the BeerCast – recently CraigAS partook of some fascinating tipples at the 2008 Montreal Mondial de la biere, including a revelatory experience with a black IPA. You can also read his report on the […]
End of the line for Arran?
We don’t often bring you beer news here, primarily as there are plenty of other websites that do a far better job (such as Beer Today, Beer Pages, Stonch’s blog and of course CAMRA). But then there are plenty of others who do reviews of beer better – and that doesn’t stop us. After returning […]

Lagerboy Speaks – Zagorka Special
Hmmm…a European lager with a green and white label in a large green bottle.
