Welcome everyone to Bottoms Up, as the name suggests this is a blog about drinking.

In particular it is about the drinking of beer.

I guess I should start by explaining what I mean by beer. I’m not talking about generic, mass produced super chilled lagers the likes of which you will find in every bar, club and pub the length and breadth of the land.

I am talking about beer the way it should be, beer that tastes of something, beer that does more than just numbs the taste buds in your mouth so you cant tell how awful it is, I’m talking about beer with bits in it!

In this blog I am going to be reviewing all sorts of different beers, as many as I can lay my hands on! I am also going to be reviewing as many pubs as I can physically visit and will also be talking about the state of the brewing industry overall.

Now I am only human and as such won’t be able to drink everything or go everywhere, so if you come across something that you think I have missed and that should be included let me know! If I can get my hands on it and try it I will, if not why don’t you, after all one of the big aims of this blog is to get more people drinking beer and if I have any say in it drinking better beer.

Cheers
