Tandleman's Beer Blog: Getting Old

Getting Old

I've just realised. This blog has now entered its third year. Its birthday was on the 26th November, so I am still able to say the blog's birthday was this week.

It's come a long way from these hesitant beginnings!

Sat In A Pub said...: I wondered when you were going to notice:) Happy Blogbirthday. Age is obviously affecting your marbles, though, as you are actually 2 years old this week, not three.; 1 December 2009 at 13:15
Tandleman said...: What? Isn't it 2010 then? Duly corrected. New marbles applied for.; 1 December 2009 at 15:03
Paul Bailey said...: Congratulations and best wishes on the birthday anniversary of your blog - keep up the good work.; 1 December 2009 at 22:02
Neville Grundy said...: I was worried for a moment that I'd lost a year; what an impressive bender that would have been.

Still, congratulations.; 2 December 2009 at 18:50

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.
