Something for the Weekend – Exmoor Gold
This weekend I’m going to a Beer Festival at my old pub. The current owners run an astonishingly well organised Festival every August Bank Holiday, which put my own amateur attempts to shame. They rig up a long outside bar with cask, keg and cider available, all...
Something for the Weekend – Woodforde’s Wherry
I had a crisis of confidence a few weeks ago. I was in the middle of doing some technical beer training with a bunch of enthusiastic industry peeps and they started talking about brands I hadn’t tasted. Niche, small batch, experimental and one off brews. Double IPAs,...
Something for the Weekend – Mordue Workie Ticket
There was an article in the newspaper this week about British children starting to develop American inflections in their speech. This was attributed to their exposure to technological sound gadgets which frequently have an American accent. The Daily Mail was, as...

Charles Wells planning for new brewery
amily brewer Charles Wells has submitted a planning application for a brand-new brewery and visitor centre that will lay the foundation for the future of Charles Wells as a brewing family and pub company. The planning application for...
Something for the Weekend – Black Sheep Riggwelter
My other half and I opt to stay in England for the duration of August rather than jet off to sunnier climes. Every year we live in hope that we will get a sweltering summer, and with considerable smugness we can then go off on our travels in September. We have stuck...
