If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).

Holiday by the Loire

Well I had a week away down in the Loire area of France and had some really nice beers, that was not a big surprise as I have done this many times now.  Our Holiday blog

Lets start with a typical French beer

St Omar, Biere d'Or Des Flanderes from France

4.0% gold in colour with a thin head, just a plain ordinary hot weather French beer but not bad. I think I actually bought this one when I got back home.

Saint-Omer (ALDI), Kusterbier from France
