13th August 2012

I've been celebrating a fine performance by Team GB in the Olympics. Well done. Now, if only they would add beer-tasting to the competition, I'd be willing to give my all for Queen and country.


JHB (England)
This is named after some medieval midget who used to Entertain an old King. And this beer certainly entertained me. A very nice bitter ale with a sharp taste that was great to drink after a summer barbecue.

Grolsch (Netherlands)
In Britain, Grolsch is classed as a fairly standard beer, lining up on supermarket shelves between the Carlsberg and Fosters. The difference is, though, that this is so much better than either of those. As lagers go, this is up there with the best. Which makes me wonder why this isn't as popular around the world as those that I mentioned above. It's baffling.
