The Times beer supplement — read it here

Yersterday The Times published a Best of Beer supplement that featured the work of Pete Brown, Ben McFarland and myself amongst others. Once again I would hazard a claim that this supplement marked the continued interest of the nationals in beer (I did something for the the DT in April, which you can read here), and I hope it will continue. Back to The Times’ supplement — if you missed it you can read it here.

  2. Your DT article was good, except for the ridiculous photo. Please tell me you didn't supply that as well!?

  4. Nice supplement from Wapping, but if I read again that Egyptian beer was called "kash" I shall smack someone over the head with a bottle. It was Sumerian beer that was named "kash". Egyptian beerwas called "hek", where the "e" represents a vowel sound of unknown quantity, since the Egyptian writing system didn't include the vowels.

  7. I was going to have a moan about NZ being represented in the World Cup of Beer with the terminally boring Montieths Lager untill I saw that the States got Budweiser. Far dues.

  8. DJ — thanks
    Kieran — those sort of features (I recall doing one for the MA in 2006) are limited by what you can get unfortunately, I wonder if we will be seeing Emerson’s, Moa or Epic over here sometime.
