Has anyone checked this new site, Beer Genie? This is stated on their site:
"
BeerGenie.co.uk is a website produced on behalf of the BBPA (British Beer and Pub Association) themed around beer's power of sociability".
I take it, it's supposed to be some kind of educational tool, especially for the non-real ale drinkers. Perhaps we can find something useful there as well. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteFear not, a little birdy tells me the beer history section is going to get a much-required overhaul …
