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).

Beers to survive the lockdown

As I wrote yesterday, I am not getting out but I still need my beer, so I have been ordering them from online shops or the breweries themselves. Below is a photo of the beers that I bought and I only bought ones that I really like. After all these are for drinking not just for trying, I already have enough of those.

Beers to survive the lockdown

So I will go through my old writeups of the above beers.

Franziskaner, Hefe-Weissbier from Germany


5.0% cloudy cold in colour with a good but fading head, banana aroma, slightly dry yeasty banana taste, so smells like and tastes like a good German Hefe Weissbier, if it didn't I would let you know, this is another good one. Brewed in Munich.

Camerons, Strongarm from England


4.0% ruby red colour with a very good head, fruity malt aroma, nice fruity caramel bitter taste.  Brewed in Hartlepool, it's my home town beer and people of the town either love it or hate it, I love it.

Leffe, Blond from Belgium


6.6% deep gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt and bubblegum aroma, sweet strong bubbly malt taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste, I love it.

Hoegaarden, Witbier from Belgium

Cold Beers

5.0% pale yellow in colour with a good head, slight citrus aroma, nice citrusy yeast though quite a thin tasting Witbier but very enjoyable, I like it a lot and it is usually reasonably priced.  One of the best, even in cans.

And the Innis and Gunn, another fantastic beer that I find I have not covered on here before and that is very strange. So I will finish here but the very next thing I write will be on Innis and Gunn beers.
