Boak & Bailey's Beer Blog - Writing about beer and pubs since 2007 (http://boakandbailey.com)
http://boakandbailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/adnams_southwold_martin_pettitt.jpgAdapted from Adnams, Southwold, by Martin Pettitt, via Flickr, under a Creative Commons licence. (https://flic.kr/p/5hBhYt) We’re off on our holidays this afternoon*but have a few posts scheduled to pop up during next week. Though we’re determined not to do any work, we’ll probably have a beer or two and visit the odd pub, so expect*Tweet (https://twitter.com/BoakandBailey)s*and*Facebook updates (https://www.facebook.com/boakandbailey). In the meantime,*here’s our usual round-up of interesting things to read around the beerier corners of the the internet.
→ Saved to Pocket (http://getpocket.com) this week: recollections of the 1940s from a former employee of Adnams (http://adnams.co.uk/about/news/beer-news/adnams-brewery-in-the-1940s/), on their rather superior corporate blog.
→ Also saved to read later, an*account of a visit to the Baird’s Malt plant in Witham Essex*from* (http://icipints.wordpress.com/2014/09/24/malt-getting-the-grist/)It Comes in Pints (http://icipints.wordpress.com/2014/09/24/malt-getting-the-grist/).
→ The*Cask Report 2014*has landed and here’s the author’s handy digest (http://petebrown.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/cask-ale-is-booming-as-part-of-craft.html). *Pete Brown’s findings echoes one of*the underlying arguments of Brew Britannia: ‘Cask ale and craft beer are not the same thing, but neither are they entirely separate — there is a pretty big overlap.’
→ Richard Taylor at the Beercast continues to prod at Brewmeister as the Advertising Standards Agency censures the Scottish brewer over marketing for Snake Venom (http://thebeercast.com/2014/09/snake-venom-asa.html). There’s good stuff in comments, too, including more measured responses than we’ve previously seen from Brewmeister’s Lewis Shand.
→*Sabina Llewellyn-Davies’s article on Lebanese craft beer for*All About Beer (http://allaboutbeer.com/lebanese-beer/)*is worth a read:*‘Lebanon does not boast a huge beer drinking community; the total yearly consumption of beer is about equal to the amount of beer consumed during the month long Oktoberfest in Munich.’
→ The Gentle Author at Spitalfields Life has put together a list of the language of beer (http://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/09/20/the-language-of-beer/), including some phrases new to us — a*noggin*of Merry-Goe-Down, anyone?
→ We shared this on Twitter but it’s too good not to flag here as well: ‘Rick Wakeman Consumer Guide to the Beers of the World (http://www.saluzzishrc.com/blog/2013/01/del-lago-maggiore-e-dei-vinili-progressive/)’, (http://www.saluzzishrc.com/blog/2013/01/del-lago-maggiore-e-dei-vinili-progressive/)by Chris Salewicz,*from 1974*(enlargeable scan of a page from the NME about halfway down).
→ There’s a lot of information about beer and British culture packed into this one family photo.
