We’re having a couple of days off blogging because of annoying real life deadlines and commitments so, in the meantime, here are a few things you might have missed from the last month or two.
CAMRA et al
- How CAMRA got its name and the origins of the term ‘real ale’.
- When the meanings of ‘draught’, ‘keg’ and ‘cask’ were fixed by civil servants.
- Where CAMRA’s ‘living beer’ rhetoric came from.
- The Ancient Order of Froth Blowers and the Pub Users Preservation Society; the Real Ale Liberation Front; and the National Society for the Promotion of Pure Beer.
- A brief history of CAMRA bashing.
Places
Beer and brewing
- Home brewing St Austell 1912 stout.
- Sharp’s Connoisseur’s Choice triple and quadrupel.
- What we thought of St Austell’s version of their own 1913 Original Stout.
- The Sainsbury’s Great British Beer Hunt.
Miscellaneous ponderingsand silliness
- Are CAMRA and Brewdog cults?
- What is a ‘pop’ beer?
- Are pub chains inevitable?
- An incomplete list of British lagers with silly fake German names.
- What we think about writer/blogger collaboration brews.
See you on the other side….
About time you posted a picture of yourselves.
Agreed.
And at least one of you should have your tits out for the lads.
Actually, BN, that’s Boak (left) and Bailey (right) in the picture at the top. Bailey is wearing the clown make-up because he is really Simon “Reluctant Scooper” Johnson in another of his many pseudonyms (which include Cooking Lager, Tandleman, Adrian Tierney-Jones and Pete Brown). Boak is demonstrating her prowess as an Olympic-standard nillicruxalist.
Err, that’s what I meant.
I’ve just realised my comment reads like a terse instruction. Oops.
*slinks off*
Mea culpa (that’s Latin for “my bad”) – I misinterpreted you.
I love the look on the girl’s face like “I got you now, you bastard puppet, ’cause X’s and O’s is where I live” not realizing she is talking to a puppet. Is Boak like that?
Not sure. But I am attempting to be as unnerving as the test card girl is in Life on Mars.
