Brewsround – Week 18, 2020
Beer, beer everywhere and not a drop to drink. There was a steady stream of tasty beer writing this week and an absolute deluge on Friday. I’ve gulped down as many words as I could manage. Here are a few of my favourites. As I wrote in last week’s Brewsound, I’ve been thinking a lot […]
Brewsround – Week 17, 2020
I love reading about beer. Not as much as I like drinking it. But I love it all the same. And there was tonnes of good stuff about the good stuff for me to savour this week. Here are a few of my favourites. From the get-go, Pellicle magazine has released a series of exceptional […]
Brewsround – Week 16, 2020
There has been another bumper crop of great beer writing this week. Educating, entertaining and providing essential moments of escapism. Here are a few of my favourites.

Brewsround – Week 15, 2020

Looking for a New England (One for the Road) – The Craft Beer Channel
Looking for a New England (One for the Road) is the first feature-length documentary from Jonny Garrett and Brad Evans of the Craft Beer Channel. The pair have been producing short format beer videos for years but this is their first foray into a longer format and it’s a peach.
