Take flight - beer tweets

I love beer and I also love twitter, so inevitably I tweet my beer encounters. A delve back over the last 4 years has revealed what I have discovered (and mostly forgotten!) from my beery exploration of the UK. So this is for me as much as it is for you!


My first beer recommendation and a great one - Bishops Farewell is still one of my favourite beers!


An exotic foreign beer landed on our shores - tried this one in Holyrood 9A still a favourite pub-restaurant of mine in Edinburgh.


I'd obviously not found the camera before now - Screech Owl (5.5% ABV) is a Castle Rock IPA and the Kean's Head one of their best pubs in Nottingham.


Another favourite Oakham Ale beer and another excellent pub in Edinburgh.


This was the moment when I discovered that Wetherspoons had started to sell decent real ale and they have gone from strength to strength ever since!


You can't beat a good pint of Doom Bar especially in the seaside resort where it comes from !


When in Edinburgh the Guildford Arms is my first pub-port of call, my refuge and real ale mecca !


One of the best pubs in Belfast....


This is all I will drink in Wetherspoons at the moment, its brewed in the UK too (by Bank's) - superb!


This is easily the best beer that Brew Dog make - the perfect American-style IPA.


This looks like an unfeasibly large beer !




Tiny Rebel is an excellent brewery (that recently won Champion Beer of Britain with another beer, Cwtch) and this bar a fortuitous find in an unlikely place!


A bizarre day by the seaside with the Mitchell clan and we sheltered in a pub which turned out to be pirate central - Aarrrrrggghhhh !



I'm lucky to live within walking distance of one of the best pubs in Nottingham, The Old Volunteer, which is sensible enough to have 2 beer festivals a year !

That's all folks!
