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).

Surprise for May 2021

Well I though I would not have any new beers at all this month, I was getting sick of all the very cloudy, very hoppy, very poor new beers that I have been getting by post over this lockdown.     

In the end though I ordered some more beers, from a Scottish brewer on the Isle of Skye and although they looked good online, I have had some pretty poor Scottish beers in the past. 

Well as I work my way through them, they are surprisingly nice up until now, I do still have a few more to go (I did buy all the different beers they do) but up until now I am very pleased indeed. 

The brewer is the, Isle of Skye Brewing Co.
