"Beer I would not buy again" is a Flickr group where you can post photos of beers you didn't like or were disappointed with. Beer you have bought that looked like it could be special but wasn't, therefore beer you would not buy again.
Beer I would not buy again
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).

The Fish Beer Festival Two
Well I only manged to get to the Fish twice during the four day beer festival and on the second visit, only got four new beers but that made it twelve in total. I think the Festival was a big hit and I really enjoyed it.
Here are a couple of the beer to start with
Dark Tribe, Dixie's Marine Ales Twin Screw from England
5.1% red colour with a good head, fruity aroma and a strange fruity taste (rose hip according to the description), it did no go down well with our group.

and
Dark Tribe, Dixie's Marine Ales Sternwheeler from England
4.2% deep gold colour with a good head, hop aroma, bitter citrus taste, a lot better than the other one of their's above.

The Fish Beer Festival One
Still well behind with my beer reviews, they are all there, they just need publishing.
Last night was the first night of the Fisherman's Arms beer festival and even though I wasn't there long, I now have a much larger backlog of beers.
All seemed to be going well when we left and I hope it remains like that for the next three days, Dot and I will be back there on Sunday.
