		<title>Simon H Johnson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a story about a true gentleman. The first time I met Simon was in Burton on Trent, and to be honest I didn&#8217;t know what to make of the bespectacled jester who brightened up the pub full of beer bloggers who&#8217;d assembled for the inaugural #twissup event. But brighten up the pub he [...]]]></description>

		<title>All aboard / All change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2013 has been a rollercoaster. I&#8217;ve not been writing much you may have noticed. It all started before Christmas when the time came to start our homemade wedding invites, and the dark evenings were extended long into the night, firstly on photoshop, and then cutting, sticking, glueing and tying our handiwork. Then came Christmas with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cantona, hops and Big Beer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sacrebleu! Even ‘King Eric’ is talking about hops. If you haven’t seen it yet, the new Kronenbourg 1664 ad stars French football legend Eric Cantona masquerading as a hop farmer. The commercial is set in an Alsace village where the local crop growers are treated like soccer stars for producing the hops “that make Kronenbourg [...]]]></description>

		<title>Courage Imperial Russian Stout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d love to know if Courage Imperial Russian Stout tastes anything like the dark stouts that circumnavigated the Baltic coasts on it&#8217;s blustery journey towards the courts of nineteenth century Russia. I&#8217;ll never know what those early imperial stouts tasted like, no matter how many historical accounts I read or how many experts I ask. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meantime London Lager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cyclist eases along the uncluttered embankment; a couple stand contentedly at the waters edge peering towards their future; a couple of suits stroll happily in the yellowing evening light towards an ice cream van sat under the shade of a riverside tree. So is printed the scene on every bottle of Meantime London Lager. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to London, baby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in September ’12 we started a ‘Kiwi &#38; Oz’ series on Desert Island Beers saying these were exciting times for New Zealand and Australian brewers, with both countries experiencing major growth in “craft” beer sales and the number of “craft” breweries. With this major growth as background we will have featured nearly twenty of [...]]]></description>

		<title>St Peter&#8217;s Best Bitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll wager right now that you won&#8217;t find a more attractive bottle of beer in the supermarket. The thick curvaceous bottles of St Peter&#8217;s Brewery stand out like a vintage medicine vessel, reminiscent of a simpler, more authentic age. Vintage is one way of describing the brewery&#8217;s heritage. Housed in a medieval hall deep in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orval</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stroll through an ageing orchard, take a gulp of the musty air at the defunct pressing room door. Continue past the old farm cottage to the door of the dirty whitewashed inn where the drip trays need emptying. The fruit in the bowl near the window has seen better days, and through the yellowed single [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hercules Double IPA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hercules Double IPA lives up to it&#8217;s name from the first overloaded sniff. To paraphrase The Boss (and a bit of Bob too) the hops hit you like a freight train running through the middle of your mouth; this beer was definitely born in the USA. Hercules is bursting at the seams with tangy grapefruit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Desert Island Beers #73: Dean Pugh, BrewDog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As soon as he could legally drink beer Dean Pugh joined Wetherspoons and has showed no signs of his passion for malt and hops diminishing since then. Especially for hops. Dean undertook Wetherspoons management training after leaving university, and in 2007 joined York Brewery, helping them to open their first pub outside the old city [...]]]></description>
