I am writing this slightly tipsy after a pint of Stone Ruination IPA and a few bitters straight from the fridge (with a little time to warm up, lets not be too much of a philistine), and have decided in my drunken wisdom to not do a beer review, and instead write a blog about some blogosphere topics.
First up, BrewDog vs CAMRA/Cask vs Keg. Is this really going to sway the average drinker. No. Wouldn't it be better to educate that drinker about the pleasures of great beer and moving away from the large corporations then squabble about what is the best way to serve beer, or what beer goes well with Cask or Keg. even if we have to denigrate ourselves by serving Punk IPA in a cask form (Shock. Horror). we need to focus energy within the beer community on the real enemy, the massive corporations advertising they yellow soda water and buying up craft brewers. this brings me on to my second point.

Animee, a beer for the ladies. Now i know a few women (don't scoff, i do have relations with the other sex), but this is a fucking shit idea. End of. There is not even any point in discussing this, i can't imagine any women buying this. They will either stick to lager, craft beer or spirits (although i may try a little just to see what it is like).
Rant over.
just wanted to post to register my appreciation of the tone of your posts. about as straight and unwavering as they come. nice work. dsb.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan much appreciated. I try to keep some sort of calm tone, harder with the Animee issue.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter if you're are a blogger or a journalist on the guardian or mail, i feel its a central tenant of writing.
