Let me try to explain – I’ve really enjoyed using Around London in 80 Beers and now also have Around Bruges in 80 Beers (2nd edition – you need to get it!) sitting in my hands just taunting me to make a raid on that Belgian town…

In the meantime I’ve set myself a project for the Summer of ‘09 (which has now started for me at least). The project is to enjoy 80 different respectable (=good to great) beers in my garden before the end of September. I am also going to use this as an excuse to post up short tasting notes and perhaps some vignettes on enjoying beer in the comfort of one ‘sown garden (or island or farm or empire).

Beer No 1 and No 2 are already done – in the can as they say in the tv/movie/video biz. And you can see a Flickr slideshow below. This slideshow should grow to well over 80 slides by the end of summer – as some beers will be worthy of more than a single photo.

Beer No 1: Ayinger Frühlingsbier, Germany

Beer No 2: Young’s Kew Gold, UK.

I will be back with my tasting notes of these two lovely brews later in the week.

A post on wine. Maybe we need to start WineVIking next?

I met the wine maker back in the summer of Trois Terres in the S. France. Cool dude. More on that another time. His wife was kin enough to send me a case of his wine. Tonight we cracked opened a bottle of 2007 ‘La Minerale’ Vin e Pays d’Oc. Its very nice. Need to get Oz Clarke over to help me describe it.

Anyway… More later including a photo of the very cool label.
