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).

Beer with a Zoom day

On Wednesday afternoon we had a Zoom meet, it was supposed to be for a BBQ but was mainly to meet up and have a drink with friends. This went on from 14:30 to around 20:30 with plenty of drinks and three of them where new beers to me.

Bad Co, The Shy Retirer from England

2.8% slightly hazy gold in colour with a thin head, not much aroma and a hoppy taste, very weak and very easy to drink.

Moor, Revival from England

3.8% very cloudy yellow in colour with a poor head, hop aroma and very hoppy taste. Not good at all.

Slow start to May

Well we are still here, the new beers are running low but I have ordered some more from the net. I did have one order not turn up, they had run out of beers but never thought to let people know. I did get my money back from them though but only after I complained that it hasn't turned up.

So I have slowed down the drinking of new beers, I think it could be a good thing though, as I am mainly drinking good beers now.

As for this lockdown, I actually went out in the car last week, we drove to ASDA, picked up a Click and Collect and drove home. I do not know how to put up with the excitement. Anyway the beers for early May are,

Naparbier, ZZ Amber Ale from Spain
