The Porter Pages: Recommended Pub Crawls...

http://porter-pages.blogspot.com/p/recommended-pub-crawls.html

If you ever find yourself in any of the cities listed below then I can recommend the following pub crawls (click on maps to enlarge):. BIRMINGHAM CRAWL #1 (New Street area). A = The Victoria. B = The Post Office Vaults. A brand new bar opened late 2011/early 2012 ish which features a range of 171 bottled beers, a number that seems to increase each week! Very impressive for a UK pub. Also has 4 cask ales on tap and 4 kegged. D = The Wellington. E = The Old Joint Stock. Roger Protz voted it one of the UKs ...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: May 2013

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Tuesday, 7 May 2013. 10 beers to 'go to', AKA my Top Ten goto beers. I have been monumentally slack in writing any fantastic blog pieces for the last month. There aren't any especially good reasons for this, but here is my attempt to make my excuses anyway. Work has been crazy. Cliched, but true. My job has recently involved me applying for my own job and simultaneously moving to a new building. It has been pressured. Who am I representing? Top 10s - we all love...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: February 2013

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Tuesday, 19 February 2013. Taking ones own advices. Some while ago I wrote a post about the ideal Birmingham pub crawl - it's here. Now over the course of the year this has proved to be quite popular (in so far as my blog statistics appear to show). This post also seems to have had bursts of sporadic popularity, where I am gratified to say, people appear to be actually using it to plan real-life crawls. So I decided to do the same. Next up, Citra and delicious T...

The Stewpot: Pubs and Bars

http://stewpot-brum.blogspot.com/p/pubs-and-bars.html

Showcasing the best food and drink Birmingham has to offer. 16, yes, 16 real ales along with several real ciders and a range of bottled Belgian beer make this place a must for beer lovers. Oh, and you can bring your own food too, cutlery and plates are provided. The Post Office Vaults. Originally a 19th century theatre pub, the Victoria has been restored in a wonderful, contemporary style. With grub courtesy of the Soul Food Project. Perhaps the best cocktail bar in Birmingham? Since 2007 Brewdog have be...

Birmingham City FC Swedish Supporters Club. 2012/13 Blues - Watford - Sheffield W. 2012/13 Blues - Watford - Sheffield W. Reseberättelse, 15-20 februari 2013. 16/2 Watford (H) och 19/2 Sheffield W (H). Denna gång var vi fyra lyckliga resenärer från Svenska Blues som samlades på Arlanda.

Under kvällen mötte våra norska vänner upp, Ivar, Ivars bror Ivar-Ivar och Trond. Efter en hygglig fru...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: The Birmingham Beer Bash (2) - The Actual Thing

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-birmingham-beer-bash-2-actual-thing.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Sunday, 11 August 2013. The Birmingham Beer Bash (2) - The Actual Thing. OK, so my previous post. Tried to give a context to the event; the event being the Birmingham Beer Bash. Normally I try* to sprinkle my writing with wry, pithy prose. This post however, verges on mawkish sentimentality and I make. The mix of people was beautiful: young, old; male, female; beer geeks, beer novices; the enthusiastic, the curious. One of our first customers of the day was ...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: October 2012

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Monday, 29 October 2012. Brum Beer Fest 2012 other stuff. The 2012 version of the Birmingham Beer Festival 2012 took place last week (24th-26th October). I attended on Friday and here are a few 'observations' (which is a posh way of saying that I'm going to tell you things about it). Allowing me to check in with a selection of friendly faces. This was obviously a massive pleasure. And Duvel Tripel Hop. And a Tyne Bank Southern Star. By about 9.00 on this Fri...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: The Birmingham Beer Bash (1) - The Build Up

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-birmingham-beer-bash-1-build-up.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Sunday, 4 August 2013. The Birmingham Beer Bash (1) - The Build Up. It won't (or will) have escaped your notice that I have become an absent blogger over the preceding 3 months. The reason for this is that I have been busy on the Birmingham Beer Bash, assisting my fellow team members in ensuring that it was a roaring success. This was a big collective effort, but was more than worth it. This event was the first time that the Birmingham Beer Bash team had ever me...

Mediocre Beer Adventures: November 2012

http://mediocrebeeradventures.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Asserting Birmingham's right to good beer. Thursday, 15 November 2012. The Fetishization of Beer. (My). For a while now, I've realised that some of/perhaps most of the fun I get from beer, isn't actually always the beer itself. Very often I get a real buzz from all the peripheral stuff. I present the following evidence:. Ii) The sourcing, acquisition and discovery of beers. As often stated. That I am not the only. One who likes to. V) I talk endlessly about beer. Whenever I can, I do this with people...
