Are You Tasting The Pith?

This is our weekly writing page - a collection of informal notes about what we've been drinking, eating and doing, week by week. Chances are it will be predominantly about beer, particularly the dry, pithy, hoppy beers I like so much - hence the tongue-in-cheek title. But we also intend to include notes on wine, spirits, cocktails, food, motorbikes, holidays, draught beers, and anything else we feel like writing about.

There's pretty much a two year gap here. What can I say? - other things got the better of me.
