Hello everyone A few of us in Portsmouth have decided to organise a regular get together for homebrewers in the area. We are meeting for the first time at 7pm on Tuesday 4th March at The Leopold Tavern on Albert Road in Southsea. If you're in the area, come along and play a part in the birth of...

This morning I placed a large order with my usual homebrew supplier but forgot to ask for all the grain to be uncrushed. Rob contacted me before he processed the order just to check if I'd like it crushed or not. He obviously pays attention to my buying habits and noticed I'd missed this. I...

The wife and I are planning a weekend in Belgium. We were going to go to Bruges but a friend suggested Ghent too. As Belgian beer lovers, which city would be better? We'll only be there for one night so no chance of both.

This will be replacing the Sutton festival (Richard is retiring) and is being organised by the London Amateur Brewers. It will be run in the same way as before with a festival and get together after judging where we can all sample each others entries...
