Brewdog Edge
Surprisingly I have not had this brewdog before. I was drinking it in my favourite Cardiff Pub the Goat Major, where I normally go for the lovely Brains Dark if they don’t have a guest on. Brewdog Edge is a “dark” like beer – being a mild with a low ABR 3.2% but with a...
Brains IPA too little for too much
I had a pint of the Brains IPA cask earlier in the week at the always a pleasure to go in pub, Goat Major. A light, copper colour ale with a fresh, hoppy taste and a clean, bitter finish. Brewed with two varieties of hops, combined with pale and crystal malts. I liked it –...
The best beers are made in a shed!
The gurdian has this piece on home brew, I really have to get my shed in gear and get my shedbeer set up. If someone says they brew their own beer in their garage, what crosses your mind? If you drew a caricature would it involve a bearded, bulging stereotype, sitting in a shed with...

The best Beer books for Fathers day
I have a few of these books and they are all great.. Big Hint, Iam a dad and I like beer, so would expect some of these books, but my son always thinks out of the shed and gets me something odd, which is nice, but sometimes I would love a beer book, or maybe...
