Choosing beer for different occasions
You might be in the mood for a muscular Best Bitter, or a brooding, midnight-black Imperial Stout as you cosy up with a loved one on a cold winter’s night, or perhaps you fancy a crisp and briskly amiable lager while hanging out with friends on a sunny afternoon. Whatever avenue your desire takes you down, whatever the occasion, discover more about choosing a beer for your occasion with Adrian Tierney-Jones as he leads you through a selection of beers featured in his book United Kingdom of Beer.
