Beer in the limelight!

You may have come across these two videos which hit twitter & facebook today & regardless of what you think of their content, it's great to see beer in the mainstream media!



The CAMRA & Keg ruckus hits Channel 4 News!



The @BeerBeauty doing a great job promoting beer on National TV!

More press like this will go a long way to getting our National drink the recognition it has so long deserved, exciting times in this industry I'm sure lie ahead!

Agreed. Two excellent pieces.

That keg one is really interesting, especially as the mainstream media has picked up on it — makes things a bit easier when you’re trying to explain stuff without sounding like a nutcase. Only tonight, some chap was telling me about the ‘strong ales’ his daughter enjoyed at the Euston Tap…I sighed and started going on about US beer, craft keg craft etc and realised I should shut up.

Mind you the C4 is slightly let down by turning to a wine writer for a comment — and there is a slight discrepancy with James Watt saying it is all about dispensation methods, while the wine writer goes on about different production methods, ie the brewing. Which one is right then? They should have got a beer writer on…

Tandleman said...

Yes Adrian. You could have told us all about beer dispensation (-;

Tandleman — no not me I was thinking of other actorly types, I remain sequestered in print though the stage often calls (Mrs Worthington E)… ;-/
