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…
This is what I came up with, short and sweet…
- Adnams Ghost Ship a ghostly pale ale with citra hops very drinkable 4.5% based on deathly pale ale
- The Leeds Brewery Hellfire 5.2% fiery pale bitter
