Here it goes...

So I've decided to join in with the world of blogging. You might say I'm late to the game but for me I feel this is the perfect time.

I've never been one to log, record or share everything I do however, I feel I now reached a stage where I want to capture those thoughts and musings and have them written down, hence this blog. I've opted to write my thoughts on pubs and beer because it's something that is just part of me. I love to discover new pubs. Each pub with their unique interior's, pub sign's, atmosphere and at times, differing selection of beers.

I feel nothing can quite beat a good pub and when I see a pub that I've not been to before, I want to enter that pub and discover it's story, the people within and the community it serves. I'm not sure what set me off on wanting to discover new pubs rather than finding a regular and being content, but the need to venture to new pubs hasn't died down. And when in those pubs, of course, there is nothing better than trying something new. It adds to the unique experience of that pub and helps cement the memory, pairing a beer with a location.

Living within London I've covered quite a large number of pubs however there are areas that either I haven't re-visited in a long time or ever. So I'm starting afresh and will write details on all pubs I go to, though if I have been there before or even regularly I will mention it, as I would still like to jot down my thoughts of those pubs at this particular time.

Of course it's not a pub blog if I don't talk about the product which brings me there, the beer. So I will share my musings on the beers I sample however, I'm no expert within the aspect of beer. I'm not one who could identify the hops used or provide a clear definition of the fruits or coffee flavours oozing out from the beer, but I know what beers I like and appreciate all varieties.

I hope this blog will drive me to better log both in photos and words my initial thoughts of pubs and beers.
