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).

First from March, 2021

We have both just had our birthdays, quite a change this year, as we are usually away for them. We had just got back from our birthdays away last year and went into Lock Down. We have used the van for a few days in September but that is it and it is off the road now having failed its MOT,

Anyway after moaning about about the beers I have been drinking for the last few months, a batch of German beers I got where very nice. here is the review of the first three.

My box of Hefe Weizen from Germany (three)

Not been on here for a while but here are some more of the German wheat beers I got a couple of months ago. Its a bit pointless me trying to describe these beers, as I love most German wheat beers and they mostly taste the same, gorgeous.

I still have a lot left to try, even after these.

My box of Hefe Weizen from Germany (one)

A couple of weeks ago a wrote "I am so sick of gold hoppy English beers, that I have bought a box of 23 assorted wheat beers from Germany, that I will be reviewing soon.", well I have started them and so far they are great. I will review them a few at a time, as I have them, although I do not have the skill to do the best for them.
