A Week in the sun!

A Week in the Sun!

Well folks I'm back after a week in sunny Mallorca, Calla D'Or to be precise. One of my best friends got married out there and we used the excuse to spend a week doing nothing.


Whilst I was there I got to thinking how lucky we are in Ireland, and the United Kingdom in having a vast Beer, and Ale market, even if the majority of people have not yet made the switch to the flavourful world of craft beer. Go to any bar in Belfast, and you will likely have the choice of at least 3 or 4 draft Lager, Guinness, and an ale of the likes of Smitwicks. Then look in the fridges any number of bottles.

When I was in Spain I went to numerous bars and the choice is very limited, you can have on draught, San Miguel and either a Guinness if it is an “Irish” Bar, Doddingtons for the English bars, or Heineken if its anything else. In bottles you can have either a Bud, a Miller, or a Heineken.


I'm glad I'm back here in Belfast were variety really is the spice of life? Now where did they put the factor 20?
