Christmas Day. You might be dreading the faff or counting down the sleeps to the traditions. Whatever side of this fence you live on, as a Beer Fan the big question is “What Beer(s) Should I Drink on The Big Day?”. Most importantly, I would say drink what you enjoy, not what you think needs to be seen on Insta/Twitter/Untappd!! After that I would have 2 other suggestions:Have some good, reliable Festive Fridge Fillers that you have to have to share with surprise visitors (or someone who is unexpectedly feeling up for a craft beer) without dipping into your Secret...

It turns out that trying to recruit people over the summer months is rather tricky! Holidays must be for people who don't have hundreds of beers to be tasting! I've shared the photo of the beers on our social media before, but as the deadline for applicants approaches, I thought I'd share it again with the information the hopeful tasters were given.   After soaking 40 cans in the bath and painstakingly removing each label (with 1 manicure required after), these cans were shipped off to our 10 finalists at the end of July.   These were their instructions:  ...
