Beer, glorious beer

In the interests of research and solely to determine if the rumours regarding the poor quality of UK beer were true, I embarked on the arduous task of sampling beers around the country.  Some days were more difficult than others as I was forced to endure just one more ale in the interests of science.

I have determined after all these in depth inquires that the beer is good, some of the local beers pumped from the keg at a tepid 12 degrees are in fact quite delicious, if only they could turn the thermostat down a little.  But I persisted as you knew I must and have photographic evidence of some of the 40 odd (some very odd indeed) ales I have sampled.  Please don't count the photos, I lost count after 30 so there may be some samples I have left out in the interests of health and safety. 

I found it disappointing that the publicans, after letting them know I was an 'influencer of note', still made me pay for each beverage.  It has put a dent in the budget but I'm sure you'll agree (once I work my way through explaining each and every brew) that the effort was well worth it.  Pam agrees this has been a mighty and well worth endeavour and we hope to bring some of these diverse tastes to the antipodeans as soon as word of my research leaks out to the Australian press.
