How cool would that be!? <br /><br />@James_Winter is the shows producer maybe more people should recommend the idea!Summer Wine Breweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534832057490551064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532306293614525754.post-12773290381923025752011-07-03T21:12:51.040+01:002011-07-03T21:12:51.040+01:00Here, Here! Well said that man! etc etc…
I was aw...Here, Here! Well said that man! etc etc…<br /><br />I was away this weekend in a very sunny Edinburgh, but I made sure that on Saturday morning I got myself in front of a TV for a good proportion of the show and joined in the live action so to speak on Twitter.<br /><br />It's sad that something like this has to happen to get everyone chatting away with banter suggesting beer matches, inviting comment and debate, but as you quite rightly say a pleasure to be involved and testament to what can be achieved. There was a little back biting but that is always to expected in a live forum, but generally good natured.<br /><br />The good thing is that as long as this continues we are all getting a benefit, learning as we go so to speak from the suggestions of others.<br /><br />I have a suggestion. It was mentioned amongst the many tweets on Saturday morning that Saturday Kitchen should invite Pete Brown, Zac Avery, Mark Dredge and Melissa Cole amongst others on the show to talk about beer and food pairings. <br />To that I quite agree should they be willing the BBC accommodating enough.<br /><br />But what if they are not and until someone takes notice. Would it be possible to get one person per week with the confidence and knowledge to join each week with live suggestions and or comments on the suitability (or reasons why not) of beers suggested by the less informed. Not sure how this would work but willing to give it some thought?<br /><br />I for one am always eager to learn.<br /><br />Great post, great idea and brilliant to be involved with everyone on Saturday.<br /><br />Cheers Phil<br />@filrdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532306293614525754.post-12128445304895456882011-07-03T21:11:54.517+01:002011-07-03T21:11:54.517+01:00Thank You Carole,
I think you are absolutely rig...Thank You Carole, <br /><br />I think you are absolutely right regarding choice whether it is wine or beer. The world of brewing is a close knit industry which has so much to offer yet we are ignored by the national media.<br /><br />Readdressing this oversight is WAY overdue!<br /><br />The congratulations must go to Dave Bailey et al, who had the foresight & will to try & change things in a powerful & inventive way.Summer Wine Breweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534832057490551064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532306293614525754.post-10123291778985658142011-07-03T20:59:22.536+01:002011-07-03T20:59:22.536+01:00What a brilliant use of social networking to make ...What a brilliant use of social networking to make a point! Congratulations. <br /><br />Your tweets certainly made me think. I hadn't appreciated how nonsensical it is that the "wine expert" travels all over the country - to then sample wine in a Sainsbury's or Waitrose which they could probably find around the corner from their studio! <br /><br />Absolute nonsense they ignore beer, which is a perfect match for lots of foods.<br /><br />I think the time has come for smaller breweries. In political terms the sector fits so well with both localism and the Big Society. In gastronomic terms, we now have such choice, yet the media hasn't yet caught on.<br />More power to you, I'll be following with interest.;CaroleRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084379864823557295noreply@blogger.com
