Liverpool Craft Beer Expo preview

By -

I’m usually quite savvy at keeping up with all of the various beery events that are happening within the UK yet somehow Liverpool Craft Beer Expo had somehow eluded me until I got an email about it from Tony who is one of the organisers asking if I fancy going to the trade session. It’d be rude not to really.

I have to say, it sounds very good. It’s taking place at The Baltic Triangle in Liverpool between 14th – 16th June and will feature over 80 keg and 50 cask beers. That’s a lot of beer!

If the beer wasn’t enough to pull you in, the expo will also feature live brewing demonstrations from some of the UK’s best breweries so festival goers can actually see what goes into a beer. Who said beer festivals aren’t educational? Breweries featured will include Camden Town, Beavertown, Magic Rock, Summer Wine, Partizan & The Kernel. All hot breweries at the moment that I have recently been enjoying beers from!

With all that beer, you’re also going to need some food and you’re in for a treat as the menu sounds bloody delicious. It includes a whole host of burgers, hot dogs and savoury doughnuts with interesting twists courtesy of the Camp and Furnace kitchen. Highlights for me include the Piggy/Apple Ketchup/Crispy Bacon/Black Pudding burger, Smoked dog – Whiskey & Garlic Sauce with smoked applewood cheddar & Roast Chicken & Lemon Doughnut with Cider Gravy Dip. I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of savoury doughnuts before getting this press release!

As if the conversation of your fellow beer fiends wasn’t enough, there will also be live music which will be performed in the specially constructed Beer Barrel Musical Bunker.

The festival is being curated by Paul Seiffert, co-founder of The Liverpool Craft Beer Co. I don’t actually think I’ve had any of their beers so I’ll definitely be seeking them out at the festival!

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE...

Oh yes, to celebrate the launch of the new website Liverpool Craft Beer Company have an exciting competition which will give the chance for you and your friends to win a brewing experience at Liverpool Craft’s Brewery, allowing to you to design and brew your own beer!

Beats: Album of the Month – August

If you follow me on twitter or read my ramblings on this here blog, you would’ve seen that I did a Beer of the Month post. It was a difficult decision to make. You may also notice if you follow me on twitter that I listen to A LOT of different music; I think I got something like 30 new albums in August alone which is ridiculous. You’d think with that much new music, picking an album of the month would be difficult, right? Wrong. This was a simple choice. So, which band wins the almighty honour of Booze, Beats & Bites’ first ever album of the month? The award goes to…

Lidl Currywurst - A Review

Ah, Currywurst! A Berlin institution and indeed, if you've been to Berlin and didn't eat Currywurst whilst you were there, I'm not sure we can be friends. My first Currywurst was on my first ever trip to Berlin in August 2016 where I stumbled upon a stall at the Street Theatre Festival on Alexanderplatz; I grabbed a cheap €3 plate as well as a beer and sat in the warm sun, and fell in love. Later on that trip I visited the Currywurst museum (yes, such a thing exists) and although a novelty, I feel it was possibly the wurst (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) eleven euros I've ever spent. The premise of Currywurst, for those who don't know, is simple: It's effectively sliced boiled and fried sausage coated in a sweet curry ketchup and topped with curry powder; you'll usually find it served with chips and mayonnaise on nearly every street corner in Berlin. I'd seen the famous CurryKing brand of microwavable Currywurst in supermarkets in Germany but never did I e

The Session 65: So lonely…

The Session is a monthly event for the beer blogging community which was started by Stan Hieronymus at  Appellation Beer . On the first Friday of each month, all participating bloggers write about a predetermined topic. Each month a different blog is chosen to host The Session, choose the topic, and post a roundup of all the responses received. For more info on The Session, check out the Brookston Beer Bulletin’s  nice archive page . Despite still being a young blogger with not the greatest following, I really wanted to get in there early. I’ll probably get about two responses, maximum but screw it. It’s all fun, right? Speaking of fun, going to the pub with a bunch of mates is great… you have a few beers and a laugh, generally a fun time and all. I love going to the pub with mates but sometimes I go to a pub alone and I enjoy it. Other people say I’m weird for this as there seems to be a stigma attached to being in the pub alone – alcoholism. There are
