http://goodfoodgoodbeer.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/hop-hideout-2.jpg?w=225&h=300 (http://goodfoodgoodbeer.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/hop-hideout-2.jpg)At the end of last year, Jules Gray – one of the duo behind Sheffield’s new Beer shop (http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news/tuck-box-shop-on-the-hop-1-6254191), Hop Hideout (http://www.hophideout.co.uk/), asked me if I’d pop down and ‘do something’ in conjunction with them. I’ve hosted tastings before, matching beer with food and such, but only done one discussion-led event (http://www.creativetourist.com/articles/reading-and-writing/yorkshire/blog-north-is-back-and-this-time-the-bloggers-are-hungry/) before. I enjoyed it a lot, so agreed.
But what to talk about? Well, I blog. I’ve been blogging a long time and, in that time, blogging certainly has changed. I’ve got views – which I might not always deem appropriate to discuss on The Good Stuff; but views nonetheless, as those who have spent any amount of time drinking with me will know. The blog has been fairly successful; I’ve been nominated for awards, and landed a book off the back of it (amongst other things, of course). I’ve helped organise (http://beerbloggersconference.org/) blogging events, done the odd bit of paid, freelance work – and The Good Stuff has been mentioned in a fair amount of press over the years. Let’s not forget either that Jules herself is a pretty accomplished blogger (http://www.thenoisethatwemade.co.uk/), who has taken a huge leap and set up a business.
So, Better Beer Blogging it is – 28th February. *Come down to Sheffield, pull up a chair and we’ll have a chat. If you’re thinking about starting a beer blog – perfect. If you’ve been blogging a while but feel a little stuck in a rut - perfect. If you’re just being nosy – perfect. You’re all welcome.
Tickets are on sale at the shop (which covers the cost of the event, rather than my pocket!), and the event will be held next door at The Electric Candlelight Cafe (https://www.facebook.com/ElectricCandlelightCafe?fref=ts). *Of course, there will be plenty of beer for you to pick up at Hop Hideout. If you have any questions, contact the guys at HH.
See you there!
