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

Moor, Revival, England

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

Atlas Brewing, Latitude from England

Atlas Brewing, Latitude, England BBQ time

3.9% gold in colour with a good head, hop aroma and taste but not too bad.

And there was another new beer from the day before.

Signature Brew, Roadie from England

Bad Beer Saturday

I took three beers to Jonathan's on Saturday night and they were all awful, one was a strong stout that should have been nice but it was not at all. Luckily Jonathan had some decent ordinary beers for us to drink and take the taste away. So let's just get on with it, it can act as a warning to you all, although as I have said before, just because I did not like them doesn't mean that you wouldn't.

Gipsy Hill, Envoy from England

Gipsy Hill, Envoy, England

4.0% cloudy yellow with no head at all, it had a grapefruit aroma and an acid fizzy bitter fruit taste. This was an awful beer.

Uiltje, Bird of Prey IPA from Holland

5.8% gold in colour with a poor head, another one with a grapefruit aroma and another one that tasted not good at all.

Nomad, Hooked On A Teeling Oatmeal Stout from Australia

8.0% black in colour with a poor head, a strange aroma probably the whiskey, the taste was nothing like a stout at all and it didn't seem like an 8% beer, sadly some went down the drain.
