HOME BREWING ON TV

[Parva]

There's a good programe running on Yorkshire T.V Monday nights 10.30, it's called... "The Best Pint in Yorkshire."
This bloke is travelling around micro breweries, some are in peoples back gardens, the last episode is on next week, wish I could copy it and be able to show others out of the region!

BB

Any one with sky can watch any local BBC channel

Yes, as a fan of the Yorkshire ITV programme I too tried this whilst I was in East Anglia last night. The keyword here is BBC! That means, not ITV. I could watch 'Look North' on BBC1 if I wanted but the ITV regions are not available on Sky, only the BBC ones. Fortunately I got my son to tape it for me.

a bloke who travels around microbreweries ...... thats got to be a man who has all his ducks in a row. I hope he is paying the BBC.

My ultimate holiday fantasy is to travel around (any) part of England by barge, and sample as many micro brew pups ( or just pubs) as possible in two to three weeks. Barges, I believe, can't have bad traffic accidents, travel very sedately, don't rock around too much and are chaufer driven. Just the ticket for a beer sampling holiday.
I'll get to do it some day.

Gurgeh - are you still on TV 8pm on Friday? If so, which channel?

[Carpking]

Hoppingmad, you should try a week or two on the norfolk broads. You can pretty much moor at the end of the beer garden and there are plenty of pubs. One or two small breweries in the small villages too. And theres always your own keg on the 'galley' side if you cant wait. Already booked again for 2009.


Great fishing too!

Yep, ITV1

I hope you get more air time than my 90 seconds.

Sailing - Mucking around in boats
Broad Sailing - Boating about in muck

One of the highlights of a Saturday afternoon in Yarmouth is getting down on the bridges when the tide is ebbing, and watching all the new 'hires' desperately trying not to get swept under the bridges (the limit of the hire) and out to sea

When Ray set up woddfordes brewery there were two microbreweries in East Anglia/The Broads Now there is something like 200+ . . . . makes for a good break . . . if you can get away from the grockles

I don't care so long as it doesn't cost me my teeth

Ahh - A Michael Green fan, I see. It's a good book, no?

I've been on a holiday on a large wooden motor cruiser (from Martham boats) on the broads, but not been sailing - want to though.

Never read any Micheal Green - She was brought up in Kessingland near Lowestoft/Oulton Broad, and I've spent many a day sailing on OB . . . The In law had a shop in Yarmouth, adn when we went up to see her would quite often stand on the bridges watching the tide race out of Breydon Water carrying the boats with it

Only snag with dinghy sailing is that you don't just sail on the broads but quite often spend time in the broads

Just so as you all know....

The bottles being capped are full of water

I don't weigh hops in a pint glass

I don't bottle and measure out ingredients on the same day, in a shirt and tie

I don't actually "defy anyone to tell me that commercial beers are better than mine"

It's just 'TV magic'....
