10/24/11 The Budweiser Pounder

So it was a night of many disappointments. I did the video but it was horrible(more on that later). There were hardly any people at Dorkos(only 3 teams including the RZA) and the King of Beers did not live up to its name. I arrived at Dorko’s Cafe arou… [...]

Etichette per homebrewer, taccuini e boccali personalizzati: utility dal web

Tre notizie che riguardano il mondo della birra, quello un po’ più “fai da te”, quasi “personale”, che si alimenta delle varie risorse che si trovano in rete e che il web aiuta a rintracciare. Il primo è un utilissimo strumento on-line, che, se fossi un homebrewer, sfrutterei subito, e alla grande. Sto parlando del sito [...] [...]

Sierra Nevada Torpedo

Quando mi trovo dinnanzi a delle bottiglie che riportano in etichetta la dicitura “extra” qualcosa, temo sempre di andare a sbattere contro aromi e sapori al di là delle mie possibilità di sopportazione, se poi alla parolina magica si agg… [...]

Charts

Ok, here’s an idea that I’ve nicked off my good friend Nick Frizzell who is a music producer, DJ and music blogger.  His blog is lovely and he occasionally produces the odd chart. Not a chart in the top of the pops sense, but a chart of what he th… [...]

Buxton Brewery double-bill: SPA and Buxton Gold

Buxton Brewery

Reviewed by RD

As we move towards the end of October I’m reminded of dinking wonderful hoppy pale ales in the sun and no other beers say “Summer” to me more than these two bottles from Buxton Brewery. I’m lucky enough to live near an independent off license that have recently started stocking Buxton beers, this [...click the heading to read more] [...]

Keykeg Question

I am still getting my head round keykegs. OK, I’ve examined them at close quarters at GBBF and understand how they work, but my question is about how they are filled and how the beer inside gets its CO2. Now a conventional keg, is filled upside down … [...]

London’s Beer Events – November 2011

Hopefully by the time you’re reading this the Wandsworth Hallowe’en beer festival is still going on, and Hallowe’en weekend itself, one of the best times of the year for beer festivals is fast approaching. In which case you might want to check out my post covering October’s events. Otherwise there’s still plenty to look forward [...] [...]

Ich Liebe Dickinson

Il must del momento sono birre iperluppolate con luppoli samoani? Vanno di moda le birre coreane? Non si beve altro che birra aromatizzata al lichene lappone? Certo. E Maso cosa fa? Propone una serata di sole birre tedesche! Disapprovo ovviamente il suo atteggiamento disfattista, nondimeno vi segnalo questo evento che si svolgerà al Dickinson pub [...] [...]
