It’s great to see the expanding range of beers in our
country. But bottled beer is a difficult one. Bright beer has a very low shelf
life, making it easy to take round to a friend’s house to enjoy is of course
the most versatile of choices; but instead Evans has chosen to limit his
selection to bottle conditioned beer. The text itself is mostly a list of what
Evans has drunk this year; and there is very little in the storytelling of each
beer as the jacket suggests. Neither does Evans supply any personal
recommendations. To be perfectly honest; you may as well buy the Good Beer
Guide instead as it will tell you the exact same thing; and you can always get
in touch with the brewer or a wholesaler to see if bottles are available.
Hopefully this guide will be more useful in future editions; perhaps with a
more robust guide to on-line retailers or wholesalers available which can be
recommended.
