Oh my. Is it really almost July? How did I get so behind with these posts? I better get a move on as there was a LOT of good beer drunk in April, May and June. Watch this space. But here are the best beers I drank in March. I actually thought I’d struggle with ... The post The Best Beers I Drank In… MARCH 2017 appeared first on Beer Geek | Beer Blog ..read more

Another year, another BrewDog AGM. This write up will be slightly less detailed than usual. Initially, I was going to pretend it’s because I’ve covered the previous two AGMs in depth here and here and they are fairly similar. This is true. But the real reason is that I seem to have slipped out of ... The post BrewDog – AGM 2017, Aberdeen #PunkAGM2017 appeared first on Beer Geek | Beer Blog ..read more

After taking a break in December and January this regular series is back for a new year – albeit a couple of months late. March’s selection will follow shortly like a London bus. And it won’t be too long before April’s makes an appearance too! But for now here are the best beers I drank in February ...

It’s another one of those posts that belongs on both of my blogs. I recently visited Byron to check out their new extended craft beer menu.

So despite already having two beery advent calendars I couldn’t resist ordering a third. After talking myself out of the Mikkeller calendar I decided I’d like one that wasn’t tied to a single brewery. My favourite Manchester bottle shop, Beermoth, were doing one for £100, which I just knew would be fantastic. But I was ... The post BoxBeers Advent Calendar 2016 + Which Was Best?

I really loved my To Ølekalender last year. So despite already having another two beer advenet calendars (BrewDog here, third is coming soon) I couldn’t resist getting it again. Here’s what I thought of the 2016 version… Well, we didn’t get off to a great start to be honest. Gone are the lovely brightly coloured, ...

Remember how last year I couldn’t choose between Mikkeller and To Øl advent calendars? So I ended up with both? Well, it happened again. In fact, this year I was even more undecided. There were five that I wanted. Yes, five! Including both of the above. In the In the end I managed to talk ...

I know, Christmas is long forgotten. And good bloggers published their ’12 Beers Of Christmas’ post well before the decorations came down. Well, not me. I was too busy having fun and enjoying drinking the beers to write about them. At least I remembered to post them daily on Twitter and Instagram this year! As well as ...

I know these posts are supposed to be published before the end of the year but I was too busy, well, drinking beer. And to be honest, they also took me far longer than I expected. It turns out I drank a hell of a lot of beer in 2016 (according to Untappd: 2347 total, ... The post Golden Pint Awards 2016 appeared first on Beer Geek | Beer Blog ..read more

The highlight of Manchester’s beer calendar is undoubtedly the Independent Manchester Beer Convention, or Indy Man Beer Con as we like to call it. Returning for its fifth year and seemingly going from strength to strength. Tickets to the peak time sessions sold out in record time. Although I enjoyed 2015’s event I felt it wasn’t quite ...
