If people who have stuff to sell don't do some form of advertising they sell nowt. That applies just as much to the micro-brewer as it does to global brands.<br /><br />I'm not sure it's Pete's credibility that is in question here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-88593892229277097682011-08-28T16:32:39.353+01:002011-08-28T16:32:39.353+01:00Pete, so its a form of advertising.

I do take your point however that it may create a bigger audience and market for good beer so carry on and forgive my cynicism. Personally I would rather compare beers with other beers and enjoy exploring the differences. After all one chefs version of a dish might go very well with a particular beer but another chef down the road might produce a different version, as they do, which not suit the beer at all well.<br />All the best.Brian Dinhamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-56971674750010853392011-08-28T16:24:26.369+01:002011-08-28T16:24:26.369+01:00Oh, and as it happens, I was genuinely surprised t...Oh, and as it happens, I was genuinely surprised to read the comments by Brian. I've had this levelled at me on a couple of occasions, but it never stops being unbeleivable that people still think this way. Why we wouldn't want to pair two great loves - food and beer - together is beyond me. Also, I can't even count the amount of people I've 'converted' (awful term but can't think of a better one) to beer - be it bottled or cask - through food. Food can often be a bridge for those people unsure about Beer and the flavour it can bring to the menu. Kudos for printing it and fighting our corner, Pete.Leighhttp://www.goodfoodgoodbeer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-42211886171896275542011-08-28T16:21:31.634+01:002011-08-28T16:21:31.634+01:00looking forward to the Cask Report this year...as ...looking forward to the Cask Report this year...as always!Leighhttp://www.goodfoodgoodbeer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-14156139872093642052011-08-28T10:14:21.902+01:002011-08-28T10:14:21.902+01:00Brian - you're wrong.

Some flavours go together in your mouth. Others don't. Whatever you do with it, that's a fact. And it's good fun trying to find beers that go well with different things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011702209832734676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-17476675955630774102011-08-27T21:34:52.271+01:002011-08-27T21:34:52.271+01:00Pete, a great and exhausting schedule.

Cheffy nonesense. Beer is beautiful and what it goes with depends on where you are, what mood you are in and the weather. You are drifting towards bullshit so pull back before you damage your credibility.
