SUMMERS COMING !!! (Well Hopefully ) BBQ Beers
With summer hopefully on its way here is my round up of a few refreshing beers that will be perfect at the BBQ ,Just don`t let those Gluten gobblers get their hands on them !!!
Cornish Stingers Beer :
Don`t let the green colour put you off this is a very refreshing cider like drink ,light in taste with a slight aftertaste and goes down very easy so be careful ,thankfuly it is 4.6 % so not to strong .serve it over ice maybe throw a few nettles in ? mmm

Olde Knight GF English Beer ,
Very Lively sparkling Beer/Perry carefull opening it !! very refreshing ,it can`t make it`s mind up if it a beer or perry/cider/champagne ,without trying to be sexist this is more of a “Ladies ” beer ,Not the sort of drink I could imagine drinking more than the one bottle ,
This Local “Beer”, specially developed using age-old traditional ingredients to compliment Asian Foods at the Family run premises in the Lynne Valley . This brew, uses their own spring water and other organic ingredients resulting in a very crisp, light drink with its own unique flavour, reminiscent of lager, cider & “ Champagne ” depending on the drinker’s taste buds & food combination if taken with an Asian meal.

Lemon Schnitzer Brau
If you put me against a wall and make pick one the above beers this is the one I would go for ,reminds me of a very classy shandy with lemon overtones very easy to drink, so it is good it is only 2.6% so if you are going to drive to a bbq you could maybe have a couple of these without going over the limit .

Before my diagnosis I loved my real ale most weekends I would treat myself to a 3 for £5.00 bottled ales calling them my “Good Boy ” Beers a reward for working so hard !! ,When I was first diagnosed it never crossed my mind that I would have to give up my ales !!
Then like Uncle Monty in “Withnail and I ” you would find me weeping in the beer aisle at the supermarkets, couldn`t believe no more beer !! .
But after a bit digging about I found there is good beer after diagnosis ,this is what I plan to be my first review ,
Enjoy Mick
