Video Review- Sierra Nevada Celebration (2011)

Good morning all. I'm back with another video beer review, and this time it's an offering from Sierra Nevada in the form of Celebration (2011), a seasonal American IPA brought out every year during the holidays (or Christmas to the English). The reason I'm posting it in the early hours is because it took so long to upload, but then that's the sacrifice you have to make to keep lengthy video clips in an unnecessarily high resolution. Hope you enjoy watching and I'll be back soon with more reviews....

Until next time....

Video Review- Bristol Beer Factory Bristol Hefe

Good evening all. As mentioned in my previous post, I've decided to do another video beer review so you all get to see my initial responses and thoughts on a beer. I'm getting more comfortable with this format now and I'm even starting to enjoy it a bit, so expect more to come in the future. I still don't think they'll completely replace text-based reviews on this blog, so at least you won't have to see me on a regular basis! The beer was Bristol Hefe, a hefeweizen from Bristol Beer Factory. This brewery is a firm favourite on the blog as a result of their fantastic 12 Stouts of Christmas selection that was released towards the end of last year, so as always expectations were high. If you want to watch it in HD, and frankly who wouldn't, click the YouTube icon in the video to watch it on the site. Cheers....

Until next time....

Augustiner Bräu Lagerbier Hell

Good evening all. Today I received an order from Beers of Europe (http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/), which prompted me to shake things up a bit and do a video review. I was never intending to do any video reviews on this blog, but the reason for that initial view was not out of lack of confidence in front of the camera but was actually due to a problem I've been wrestling with for the last 10 years or so. For those who don't know me, I have a moderate stammer that manifests itself as speech blocks and frequent moments of speech disfluency during speaking, which has lead to be feeling more comfortable describing things using text as opposed to through the spoken word. I've tried a couple of video reviews over the last months and was generally dissatisfied with my performance in them, but today I decided to give it a proper go and put up the results regardless. Based on this I apologise in advance for the potential lack of coherency, it is completely unintentional and genuinely cannot be helped. Also, the sign off was interrupted by my dog excitedly greeting a visitor, so I'll have to pick my moments more carefully next time! As for the lighting, I'll pick a better room or close the blind as the beer colour wasn't as apparent in retrospect. I hope you all enjoy the review and hopefully as I get more comfortable with this format the problem won't be as noticeable. The beer in question was Augustiner Bräu Lagerbier Hell, a Helles Lager from Augustiner-Bräu Wagner KG. Review in the video below....

Until next time....
