According to Twitter, Toronto based Double Trouble’s beer Hops and Robbers has been approved by Saskatchewan Liquor Board to be sold in 6 packs.Previously found on tap at Winston’s in Saskatoon and Beer Brothers in Regina, I have a feeling more and mor… [...]
I know duo hopped beers have been around for a long time, often masked by their name. Who could tell that ‘Wayfarer’ for example, is a beer made with amarillo and cascade ? There is no clue in the name, or on the pump clip. Nevertheless it is an e… [...]
Roast duck is one my favourite food, too bad pubs don’t serve them. Chinese style roast duck have light herby taste with duck juicy taste and meat oil fragrance. For me this is a good pub snack, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon. For me bitter beer will sure compliment the taste of [...] [...]
The bar is busy. The tables are full. The backroom is heaving and buoyant. Welcome to the Sebright Arms, dimly light and vivacious. We arrive from Soho at the fading of a sun drenched afternoon – four pubs, six pints, four hours. Three and a half… [...]
Session beer day is coming up quickly on April 7th. We posted a list of session and near-session beers you can pick up in local shops. I wanted to also offer a few suggestions (probably not a comprehensive list) of places to go and beers to drink on th… [...]
Tonight sees the launch of the Ilkley Brewery/Melissa Cole collaboration Siberia. It’s a Saison that’s been made with Siberian Rhubarb and personally I can’t wait to taste it.If you feel like joining the fun there will be four pubs doing the launch in … [...]
Wells & Young’s has announced a record investment in advertising with its Bombardier brand becoming the official sponsor of UKTV entertainment channel Dave during its prime time weekday evening slot. The 10- to 15-second adverts will build upon the success of the 2011 advertising campaign staring Rik Mayall as the “English, ever reliable and damned [...]
Not surprisingly, the poll on minimum alcohol pricing resulted in a large majority against, with 80% of respondents opposing the plan. I wonder whether the 11 who voted “Yes” fell into the category of CAMRA members who believe hiking the price of m… [...]
The other day I was browsing /r/beer on Reddit and came across a beer menu of a pub in the States, it made me think – “hey, if I had my own pub, that would be a great idea for a pub menu!” As you know, I find most pubs in Manitoba lacking in the beer … [...]
Oslo’s Schouskjelleren Mikrobryggeri was my favourite Norwegian pub in 2011. It is easy to find at the southern end of the Grünerløkka neighbourhood close to the Nybrua tram stop. At my recent visit I still feel that the pub is among the top of the c… [...]
All we’ve ever really asked of big brewers like Greene King is that they make slightly better beer available in their pubs. We don’t expect them to ditch a business model that works for them, turn into Brewdog, throw hops at everything — just sell mainstream beer that doesn’t make us groan with dismay or [...] [...]
Managed pub group TCG has welcomed the Government’s announcement on minimum pricing. There will be a consultation on plans to introduce a minimum price of 40p per unit of alcohol, Prime Minister David Cameron announced yesterday. “Well managed pubs and bars are the safest, most enjoyable and social places to enjoy a sensible drink,” said Nigel [...]
Por Steve Huxley Steve’s Beer Los días previos, aparte de una visita a George Wright’s Brewery, habíamos dedicado casi todo nuestro tiempo a probar cervezas en muchos de los 64 pubs del centro reconocidos por la CAMRA. Personalmente, mis preferidos son Ye Cracke y The Dispensary, pero el grupo escogió The Ship & Mitre por su amplia oferta de cervezas servidas directamente en cask. En cuanto al [...]
Some sections of the media – although fewer than last year – were misled by the statement in the Budget that there would be no change to already announced plans for alcohol duties, and wrongly claimed that duties were being “frozen”. In fact, o… [...]
Tomorrow (Wed) is budget day, the one day of the year that all drinkers can guaranteed to get screwed by the Government. The horrendous beer tax calculator is still on the books, which adds 2% plus inflation to the price of beer. This makes a 45% … [...]
‘Gastro’ is often the dirty prefix when it comes to lovers of traditional pubs – signifying the changing of the guard, unpronounceable bar snacks and cold, insipid beer. The reality, of course, is that there are plenty of outstanding gast… [...]
Whilst trawling through this months ‘Buses’ magazine, I found a great article that would combine two of my interests at once, a pub crawl by bus. I know this is not a new phenomenon, people have used coaches to trip round pubs for years but this is a ‘… [...]
Yes, its that time we have all been waiting for. This week sees the start of the Star Spring Beer Festival, so get your time off booked and get down there. Sam promises yet another classic combination of beers from breweries near and far, old and new, … [...]
Have you ever enjoyed a Black and Tan? They’re those cool-looking pints of beer that are half dark on the top half and light on the bottom half. Commonly served in pubs throughout Ireland, England and the United States, the Black and… [...]
Boak and Bailey recently referred here to meeting up in the pub for a drink immediately after work. There’s a long tradition of having a couple of drinks in the time between finishing work and your tea/dinner/evening meal/supper. It was celebrated by… [...]

A compra da Schincariol e a teoria da conspiração

Levando em conta apenas o mercado da bebida que nos interessa, os japoneses da Kirin assumem o controle acionário da segunda maior cervejaria do país. Pela [...] Read more →
