Back and Forth
or
Are We There Yet........
With this blog I am probably going to alternate between topics from time to time. This way I can mix it up a bit whilst keeping all of my avid readers on their toes with information. Luckily, all the topics are connected with one another so that makes cross-referencing easier as well, along with how pubs, breweries and beer are all interconnected.
With the first batch of posts, I wanted to explain a brief history of the pubs. The second batch was to start to explain the different styles of ales and lagers and how they are created using the varying methods of brewing techniques. While I might still touch on these subjects in future posts, I thought that it was important to at least cover these topics before branching out and digging into the finer details of both of those areas. These details include rating or reviewing certain types of beer or taking the reader through an imaginative description of a pub. I want the readers to experience the pubs as best they can without actually being there. Or hey, if you are there then the more the better!!!!!!
With reviewing the beer I will explain the qualities of the beverage including taste, nose, consistency, etc. However, being the beer snob that I am you can expect to see a lot of hard to find and slightly lesser known brands. Of course I will also review more popular brands (such as Guinness for my friend Art - who keeps on pestering me!!!!), but most people know and have tried a lot of the more major brands out there and besides, it is always fun to get out, explore and try something new.
When explaining the pubs, I will try to be as detailed as I can to give the reader as much of an idea of what the pubs look like inside and out that is possible. Of course, any historical facts or trivia that I know of will also go along with it. That is all part of the fun. I would also love to share and incorporate some of the wonderful photos that I was able to capture from these watering holes. However, while I do not want to give away the pubs that are in the book itself (at least not yet) I will focus on ones that I still think are excellent examples of the pubs that are illustrated in the book. These pubs are just as magnificent, and probably would have been included in the book, well if I could have made it near infinite anyway. But, had I included all of the pubs that I wanted, it would have made the book way too large and too heavy.
So in the upcoming posts, I am going to move back and forth between all of the connected topics that this blog is all about. Those topics of course being PUBS, BEER, and BREWERIES.....
Cheers, Charles
