So I thought I best tell you a bit about myself. I am a 23 year old woman who works in a bar in Leeds City center and consumes a lot of different drinks but mainly I love real ale. So after many a night of being sat in the pub with different people and threatening to make this blog here it is.
I'm not the usual ale drinker, being 23 and a woman who looks about 15 I don't half get some funny looks and am usually IDed straight off, but I wanted to start writing about real ale to help people understand why I drink it. I take my friends down to the pubs, some of whom drink as well but I'm slowly converting the rest.
Some were easier than others. I'm still working on one who regularly asks me why I drink something that 'tastes like dirty dishwater' though I have to say she has moved onto organic cherry larger, which admittedly still tastes like a cherry VK but one baby step at a time, She'll get there!
Dad and Mum were the ones who got me into drinking real ale, after me trying sips of their pints then moving onto drinking half of it they decided it was time high time I started getting my own! As long s I can remember trips around England when we were younger were heavily influenced, not by maps and tourist attractions but Dad and his Good Beer Guide!
So I think my first stop in Manchester, after my sister moved there in September for university, she must have known when I went to visit that we were going to bypass the freshers bars and head to the real ale pubs. The good sister that she is she had already spotted some on her walk to uni so there we headed!
