We're proud to have featured again with This Morning, showcasing with the best advent calendars you can buy for Advent this year!
This week we launch the range of Salt Beer Factory beers on the site and what better way to introduce a new brewery to our beer hunters than to have a good 'ole fashioned interview with Nadir Zairi, Director of the Yorkshire based brewery in Saltaire.
There are signs that Non-Alcoholic beer is hitting the mainstream and is poised to hit the big time, but just how popular will it become? In this article I’ll look at some of the signs that show ‘NOLO’ (non or low alcoholic) beer is becoming a serious player in our industry, and how its development might progress in the UK.
After trying out our very own World Beers mixed case for a beer tasting party, Christie Day, Brand Expert at money-saving website Savoo shares her tips for hosting a top beer tasting night on a budget.
Ask someone down the pub for the reasons behind Britain’s recent Beer revival, and you’re guaranteed all sorts of different explanations. In 2017 the number of UK breweries passed the 2000 mark, which puts us well ahead of European neighbours. Most will have a reasonable argument for why, but you can bet your double-dry hopped DIPA that very few of them would mention Gordon Brown, ex-PM and former Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Different beers like to be treated in different ways. Here’s our handy guide for how to pour beer and get the best out of each style!
Tilt your glass and pour gently to stop excessive frothing.
Aim for a head the width of one finger. Control the head by straightening the glass.
Don’t make your head too creamy as the hops will sneak in and affect the taste.
Be patient, this is a long, slow process: an unhurried pour constrains the growth of the head – so slow down if the head gets over-excited!
For a creamier head, pour in two stages.
Remember, stout in bottles isn’t going to be quite as creamy as draught (no widgets!).
A real Pilsner must have a blossoming head.
Bubbly is best and it makes the colour more exciting.
Pilsner needs a big head and should froth over the top of the glass to give you a better sniff.
Be gentle, pour slowly or your froth will be premature.
Like Pilsner, a great wheat beer is best enjoyed with a big head.
Yeast is your friend – swill the last bit in the bottle to loosen the yeast. Pour into your glass.
