10th June 2013

The last couple of weeks have been filled with planning for our summer holiday, which will include a visit to Prague, where I hope to find plenty of beer from my book. So excpect a special Czech edition of the blog in a few weeks.

Krušovice Černé (Czech Republic)

Surpringly popular in Finland, considering I'd never heard of it before I got this book. It's a strange beer which caught me offguard because I wasn't expecting this. It tastes like a slightly smokey, slightly wheaty dark beer. So it's a bit hard to give a review, because I just don't know what to make of it.

Adnams Bitter (England)

Bitter is a good old-fashioned English type of beer, usually drunk by old-fashioned English people in old-fashioned English pubs. But it has to be said that it has stood the test of time pretty well. Despite the name, it's not actually that bitter, no more than a pale ale, but it's a tribute to Adnams that they produce a beer that can stand up to all the pale ales flooding in from all over the globe. This just goes to show how good bitter can be.
