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.

The Lockdown Strategy & Beer

Several weeks into the lockdown and I am getting through my stock of beer, I do still have plenty but I am rationing the beers I have not tried before. I have also reordered more of the usual beers, just in case.

Since we got back home from the lakes, Dot has been out to the shops a couple of times, to get things like bread and milk and a few bottles of wine. I have been out for a couple of walks with Dot but not many and am getting most exercise just in the garden. It is nice and sunny and warm in the conservatory so it is a very nice place to sit with a drink after tea.

We should have been away at the moment, our usual birthday trip to see Amber in Peterborough (Ferry Meadows), then calling into York (Rowntree Park) for a few days on the way back. Next week we should be in Spain, maybe next year now.

Looking at my photos, I see that there are quite a lot to cover, so I will do four at a time and maybe group them somehow. I will start with the cans.

Just answered the door and it was one of my beer deliveries, a box of Toast beers, lookout for the reviews of them on here soon.

Anyway the beers were,

Magic Rock, Common Ground Coffee Porter from England

4.5% black in colour with a good tan head, some coffee in the aroma, some coffee in the taste a nice porter.
