Breweries, Beer & Walking

 
 

One to look out for and worth a visit to the area: the Bollington Walking Festival from 19-27th October.

Combining beautiful scenery and beer what more do you need. The town also welcomes walkers with open arms - it's part of the Walkers are Welcome national network - so no tuts as you stroll around and you're guaranteed well maintained pathways.

Bollington itself has a good number of pubs (featuring in the CAMRA real ale guide 2014) such as The Vale Inn which is home to Bollington Brewing Co. and The Poachers where Happy Valley Brewery provides lots of beer to.

I'm myself am a long time employee at De Bierkoning bottleshop. At In De wildeman they have yearly events, putting certain styles, or countries, in the spotlights. The German beer days, the UK

Kickstarter - Dust & Grooves

Very happy to support this Kickstarter project & can't wait for the book to drop.  The site officially landed in  the UK a few weeks ago (is that technically right?!?); I've been funding projects from all over the world though. I couldn't resist this one in particular as I'm a vinyl lover.  Eilon's book is going to be a corker! I thought I would share his update, featured below.  Kickstarter link WEST COAST TRIP: I have just recently came back from a very productive visit to LA.
