No Good Beer

The best we have had so far is Amstel and I don´t even know if it is brewed here in Spain or elsewhere. Red wine is a fine substitute!

And I´m bittem to death by mozzies and it´s been cold and wet. Manchester doesn´t seem so bad!

Though a Dutch brand( owned by Heineken) It's brewed under license. Amstel bought el Águila Breweries from Madrid some years ago and Heineken do the same with Amstel a couple of years later. Nowadays it's brewed together with Heineken and Cruzcampo in the Breweries of Heineken España, sited in Madrid and Sevilla. Same lager "standars", I'm afraid.

P.S- Sorry about the weather!!! at least you got red wine ( and serrano ham, I presume) to escape from reality...; 17 June 2008 at 11:38

Gosh, I'm so glad I'm not in Spain. If there's a god, he must love us in the NW.; 17 June 2008 at 15:20

Welcome

A bit of a CV. Tandleman is a veteran beer lover, local CAMRA Chairman and activist, beer writer, beer reviewer and pursuer of all things good in beer. He lives in the North West of England and London. Despite his CAMRA membership, he does not limit himself to cask conditioned beer, though he believes that cask conditioning, when done correctly and appropriately, brings a quality to beer that is hard to equal by any other kind of presentation. He is a strong supporter of Northern methods of beer dispense and avidly detests poorly presented beer and dislikes pasteurisation. He regularly visits Germany, has conducted corporate British and German beer tastings for CAMRA at the Great British Beer Festival where he has worked for years on Biere Sans Frontieres and was Deputy Organiser at CAMRA's very successful National Winter Ales Festival in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and at the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from 2013 to date. He admires good brewers wherever they are and has travelled extensively in pursuit of good beer to drink. He also judges beer at both the International Beer Challenge and the World Beer Awards.

This blog mentions specifics; pubs and beer, good and bad. The opinions will be forthright, but you can always disagree, just don't be offended. Comments from those mentioned are particularly welcome and a right of reply is hereby offered.
