As the Wheels Turn

http://julietheniford.blogspot.com/2015/07/reprinted-from-nasa-nasas-new-horizons.html

As the Wheels Turn. Thursday, July 16, 2015. NASA's New Horizons interplanetary probe has been making its way to Pluto since January 19, 2006. And has been providing the world with the sharpest photos ever seen of our Solar System's most prominent "dwarf planet." Today. It made its closest approach to Pluto yet - about 8,000 miles - at around 07:49:57 EDT. Size of Earth compared to Jupiter ( source. July 16, 2015 at 6:45 PM. Whats a mere 3,000,000,000miles between friends? July 17, 2015 at 5:46 AM. I am ...

Teakay's Blog: Waddington Air Show 2013

http://tommybblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/waddington-air-show-2013.html

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Waddington Air Show 2013. Posted by T K Briggs. It's that time of year again - that time when my old uni buddy Neil. And I high-tail it to RAF Waddington for their annual air show to geek-out with 'planes and 'tography. Surely these guys need no introduction? For a number of reasons I haven't really played with my D60. A ghostly Battle of Britain memorial flight. Hide and Seek and Destroy! Look out for the-! I almost forgot another compl...

Beer Experiment: Ska with an MO

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2013/05/ska-with-mo.html

Saturday, 25 May 2013. Ska with an MO. Modus Hoperandi - 6.8%. Coventry is famous for the 2 Tone Ska music scene from the 70's. The Specials came from here and what you might be wondering about is why am I rambling on about Coventry and Ska in a blog called Beer Experiment? Obviously I'm talking about it because this beer is from Ska Brewing. Modus Hoperandi is an IPA that comes in cans not bottles which is unusual in the craft beer world, if exploring Beer Gonzo's. Shelves is any way of measuring it.

Beer Experiment: Beer from an area almost indistinguishable from ivory

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2013/05/beer-from-area-almost-indistinguishable.html

Saturday, 11 May 2013. Beer from an area almost indistinguishable from ivory. For the past week I've been in Tuscany right in the Chianti region. Of course being smack in the middle of a famous wine making region I couldn't resist hunting out a few beers to see how much competition the vineyards have. Turbone - 5.0%. Yes that's a wolf in a hat fishing. I'm assuming it's an amusing pun based on a wolf themed brewery, if my Latin from 18 years ago is correct. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Beer Experiment: July 2012

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 17 July 2012. A Mountain in Scotland. Schiehallion - 4.8%. Near Perth there is a mountain which goes by the name of Schiehallion and depending on how it's translated could mean "Fairy Hill" or "The Maiden's Pap" or "Constant Storm". Nice to see we've got that one nailed down. One of my all time favourite beers is Old Engine Oil. The same brewery produced that made that also brews Schiehallion. Well it's definitely cool, but refreshing? Thursday, 12 July 2012. Heartless - 4.9%. The first thing I ...

Beer Experiment: April 2013

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, 27 April 2013. Summer fruits in my ale. Rumour has it that there is a little sun around. Sounds to me like the perfect excuse to talk about a Strawberry Ale. Strawberry Ale - 5.1%. So what happens here is they take some organic ale and add strawberry juice and more organic ale. Ignoring my classic bugbear of organic as a marketing label* let have a sniff of this. Saturday, 20 April 2013. Back from the dead. Celtica - 4.5%. Welcome back everyone. Been quite a while hasn't it? It's finally warmed...

Beer Experiment: West Country Ale

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2013/06/west-country-ale.html

Saturday, 15 June 2013. Buzzard - 4.8%. I don't remember exactly where I found this beer. It was one of three possible locations. A garden centre, a national trust property or the always delightful Beer Gonzo. Either way that's not all that important when it comes to tasting it only for going and getting more later. Is based in Somerset and have been crafting beers for about as long as I've been alive. It shows that in that time they have gotten good at it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Beer Experiment: April 2012

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Named like something out of Harry Potter. Querkus - 4.5%. In Oxfordshire you can find a relatively new brewery by the name of Ridgeway of Oxfordshire. You will be hard pressed to find their own webpage, let me know if you do. This beer was given to me by my sister. She also gave me the Garlic beer so her track record is pretty poor to say the least. What I have is Querkus - Smoked Oaked Porter. Thursday, 5 April 2012. It's good for the bones. Milk Stout - 4.5%. What it actually pr...

Beer Experiment: Golden Dragon

http://beerexperiment.blogspot.com/2013/06/golden-dragon.html

Saturday, 1 June 2013. Gulden Draak - 10.5%. Tonight's beer is a Belgian style from the Netherlands in a town called Ertvelde and a brewery called Brouwerij Van Steenberge. A family brewery coming up on 7 generations of work. Go have a read of the history of this place, it's interesting and coupled with a set of nice pictures. It's okay I'll wait for you to get back. Quadruple and weighs in at an impressive 10.5% and as you would expect from that you get a real hit of the smell and taste of.
