Open It! 24-26 Feb 2012

Open It! 24-26 Feb 2012

Dust off the fancy bottles, it’s time to Open It! It’s a reason and an excuse to open those bottles you’ve been saving. Beers which you really want to drink but also really want to hold onto until a special occasion. The thing is, not all beer gets better if you leave it and the [...]

Underrated Breweries No 5: Highland Brewing Company

The Highland Brewing Company is one of my favourite breweries north of the border, Rob and his son produce some cracking ales which is no surprise really when Rob has been brewing for over 28 years and brewed in some great breweries across the UK. Based on the beautiful island of Orkney they are also known as [...]

Underrated Breweries: No 4: The Brew Company

Underrated Breweries: No 4: The Brew Company

I first met Pete from the Brew Company at Twissup in Sheffield, where he not only introduced me to his better half Liz who runs the Harlequinn pub in Sheffield but also to one of my now favourite tipples, Angostura 1919 rum. The Brew Company started brewing in 2007 after Pete left Cadbury’s and have [...]

Mr Trotters Pork Crackling

Posted on November 21, 2011 by andyMogg in Beer Stuff 2 Comments

Pork Scratchings have to be one of the best British beery bar snacks out there, crunch and salty they go with pretty much any beer you can lay your hands on. Unfortunately it would seem that the majority of packets of scratchings use rind from Danish Pigs, this travesty has lead Tom Parker Bowles and [...]

Hawkshead Beer Hall, Visit it or miss out

Posted on November 16, 2011 by andyMogg in Beer Stuff, Hawkshead Brewery No Comments

The day after we’d been to the Cumbrian Beer Appreciation Group’s latest meal was mostly spent wandering around the beautiful Lake District in the rain trying to resit the temptation to go on a huge pub crawl and drink lots of Lakeland Ale, mainly because we had drank lots of beer the night before but [...]

Magic Rock Human Cannonball and Blue Cheese and Mango Chutney Tart

Magic Rock Human Cannonball and Blue Cheese and Mango Chutney Tart

It seems wrong that I’ve not written about Magic Rock beers on here before, especially as I’ve supped an awful lot of them from bottle, cask and even keg. So I thought it was about time I broke the duck, jumped on the bandwagon and wrote a little bit about them. Based in Huddersfield, Magic [...]

Underrated Breweries No 3: Durham Brewery

Posted on October 6, 2011 by andyMogg in Beer Stuff, Durham Brewery 2 Comments

Durham Brewery have recently undergone a bit of a makeover not only releasing some new beers but they’ve changed their iconic branding and got themselves a shiny new website. The branding is starting to grow on me, I was a huge fan of the old bottles and pumpclips so I was a little shocked when [...]

Marble Vs Summer Wine Battle of the Brewers

Posted on July 31, 2011 by andyMogg in Beer Stuff, Marble Brewery, Summer Wine Brewery No Comments

What now seems like an age ago I popped down to York on the train, this wasn’t one of my usual jaunts to try and cram as many pubs in as possible it was with the specific intention of spending most if not all of the day at the Slip Inn at what promised to [...]
