On Holiday

Tomorrow I'm off to Spain and France for around 10 days. I might get a chance to post, but I might not. Be good!

As I think you know right, Alhambra Mezquita and 1925 Reserva are two exceptions on the regular bland lagers we have here in Spain. However , in my opinion, there're two other interesting beers in the country; Voll-damm by Damm and Zaragozana Export by La Zaragozana. They are recommended enough to have a try.

As far as microbreweries is concerned, Glops by Llupols& Llevats and + Lupulus by CCM, both Catalonia based, worth the sip.

Enjoy your staying here have a good holiday's time; 15 June 2008 at 08:48

Chela said...: Brit youngsters+Ibiza+cheap San Miguel= Red skinned furious mob hehehe

In 1997, I did the same in a less "glamorous" place, Oxford, with a six pack of Carling. Fortunately I turned into bitter two days later.

BTW, I have ever wondered why San Miguel is so best sold in UK.

p.s- I prefer two hundred times Oxford rather than Ibiza; same amount of British, but better pubs and beer by far....; 16 June 2008 at 20:27

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.
