I knew you were a man of taste and refinement! Oh the much missed Ivor. I shall blow the dust off my 'Jammy Smears' LP and give it a spin later. Sings in best IC voice: "Jumping and pecking are the birds, jumping and pecking....."

I don't have enough time to read them all, but the snippets I do read are always interesting, hopefully this area of PuG will continue to evolve and turn into something interesting.

Ok, I have now made this all automated. We can still add any that people think should be here.

For anyone who actually owns their blog if they let me know I can change the format of posts that we make on the forum, and can credit them correctly rather than to Blog Tracker. I think this only affects Quinno and Ed, but do let me know.

The far more mundane, this forum hadn't sent us an update to tell us we needed to wake up and pay attention excuse.

That should now be added, and hopefully updates should also now reach us fingers crossed. Sorry about the delay.

Not in Germany! (Let the passport expire-too much to see-a nd drink here)! Yes, Paul's blog is worthwhile-not as irritating as some of the beer bores!I probably met him years back when I was a CAMRA man.

Can I suggest Oh Good Ale: http://ohgoodale.wordpress.com

Mostly beer tasting notes, but includes some thoughts on pubs and other drinking venues.
These 3 have now been added, sorry about the delay Paul, I missed your post sadly.

Being honest I tend to fast glance over the emails I get from the Blog tracking, clearly glanced a little too quickly there.

Andy Mogg recently followed us on Twitter, I decided to take a quick look and he seems to be running a fairly solid beer review blog, so I added it:
Beer Reviews - Beer Blog (http://www.beerreviews.co.uk/) (rss (http://www.beerreviews.co.uk/feed/)) - Beer reviews and musings from a chilli obsessed, hill walking northern web developer.

Let me know if you disagree.

Not a beer or pub blog, but a marginally relevant posting (plus a 'that's one way to get my picture in the paper' photograph) about crisp nuts...

Nothing to worry about there, Conrad. I'm hardly a regular visitor myself these days.

Hi Conrad

Could we please add the blog of Leeds based Zak Avery to the list. He was Beer Writer of the Year 2008 and certainly knows his stuff. Usually very informative:

Cheers.
