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).
My email is ralphgant@sky.com.

Looking back at Roundhill Brewery

With interest in the last Roundhill Brewery blog, I have looked back and picked out the following beers from older blogs. Plus a new one I had last night in The Crafty Cock Billingham, most are from there or The Porky Pint or The Fishermans Arms in Hartlepool. Also at the end is one that was never bloged.

Roundhill, Blue Gals from England

Roundhill Brewery Trip, Billingham

Recently I went on a trip to the closest brewery to my house, it's about three miles away, I was meeting up with the lads from the Fish in Hartlepool. The brewery was the Roundhill Brewery, only small but very good. It is on the Cowpen Lane Industrial Estate, so not far at all for me.

We had four beers and a talk on how it was made, all in all a very good trip.

Roundhill Brewery, Bewley Blonde, England

Beers from our birthday trip away in March.

These are the beers I had on our birthday's trip away in March, we were away for ten nights but didn't find that many new beers. Although we did have quite a few beers to drink while we were away in the van in York and Barnard Castle.
