The Real Ale Blog

http://real-ale.blogspot.com

I started of my career as a barmaid in 1990 working in a Kimberly house. When the tenancy changed a year later I moved on to work in my first real ale pub. The first real ales I learned to pull were Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Marston's Pedigree along with a couple of changing guest ales. Over the years my knowledge of draught real ales has grown along with an ever growing knowledge of bottled beers and spirits. I taste every product I sell and this blog reflects the wide ranging selection of real ales, premium bottled beers and vintage spirits currently available to the discerning drinker.
