As part of the European Beer Blogging Conference held in Leeds in May 2012 we participated in a “Live speed beer blogging session”, 10 beers in an hour, a 5 minute pitch and taste from each brewer or brand ambassador.  Completely mad, a lot faster than it sounds and great fun, really concentrates the mind to give a brief resume of each beer, perfect for Twitter Beer Reviews…
