Everards beer
William Everard first brewed beer in 1849 in Leicester. Beer is not my drink but Everards must be good because Beacon Bitter just received an award at the Leicester Beer Festival and Tiger is on sale all round the world.

I love this! Doing all the alphabet in your area is very interesting. Of course I would love to come to Leicester and drink some tiger!
ReplyDeleteBeer is most certainly not my drink either!

It's exciting all the things I learn about different cities.... :) Great one!
ReplyDeleteClever of you to set parameters for this challenge. And you'll end up with enough research material for another book!
ReplyDeleteFor sale around the world? I'll have to look for the Tiger.

I'm going to have to search for Tiger, too. Nice, concise post.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it before. I'm more a blue Moon drinker. (When I drink beer) :-)
ReplyDeleteNever had that beer before (I don't believe), but that image complete with your history lesson makes me want it to order it next time at the bar. That is, if they serve it over in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteYou've made me so homesick. I love beer - especially Adnams.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following and commenting on my blog. Beer is my favorite drink and the only one I can drink at my age. Love it and it was fun to see it mentioned in the A to Z Challenge.--Inger
ReplyDeleteI don't much like beer, but this looks so interesting! I hope i get to try it when I visit London next month!

Tiger beer sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand. Not a huge beer gourmet, but I enjoy a brew now and then. Love to go to a nice pub and sip on one or two of these.

That brewery looks about perfect for my steampunk novel! :)
ReplyDeleteRosalind, do you mean if I came to Leicester, you wouldn't go to a soccer game and have a beer with me??? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all, sorry I'm not making the usual individual responses. This is not only an A to Z, it's almost a 24/7.
ReplyDeleteSorry to those US bloggers who can't get Tiger. Come and visit us here and, yes Manzanita, I may even have a pint with you all!
Mmmm, a nice cold beer on a hot day! Just what the good ol' doc ordered...
