This is my second attempt today at starting a beer blog. The first was called cervisium.blogspot.co.uk, for reasons explained below, but I swapped that for BeerAndThat, which I might explain at some point.
I tried various addresses for the blog: combinations of beer, ale and pub; beer spelt with two 3s (b33r; and beer spelt with multiple "e"s, but I gave up at ten - all these were taken. Cervisium is allegedly Latin for beer and that will do (I gave up Latin for physics in the third form, around 1968).
Anyway, we have been members of
CAMRA for several years and a few years ago joined the
CAMRA investment club that organises brewery visits including a foreign trip each year. Last year it was Prague, this year Brussels and on the latter we met a chap who introduced us to the
Around X in 80 Beers books by
'Podge' Pollard and Siobhan McGinn: he had nearly finished the Brussels edition and mentioned that there is also one for London. I ordered it and it was here when we got back.
As we were in town today, we started exploring with the book and decided to write an occasional blog on this and other beer-related activities.
