I love taking a wander around the Farmers' Market. The colours are so vibrant and all the veg, fruit, meat and even the in-season game are in their peak condition. The piles of beautifully red tomatoes, lush greens and fresh-caught fish inspire me to get back to the basics of food and beer to appreciate them in the form they were meant to be in. If you, too, are excited to eat a peach for the sake of eating a peach--without any fuss--here are some of my favourite beers that will go along perfectly with the best that the deep summer offers.

As always, the best part of beer and food pairing is discovering what works for you, yourself. I hope that this simple list is a suitable cheat-sheet to get you well on your way with your own discoveries!
We have some important and exciting news from our Managing Director, Matt Lane:
Over the last few months, we’ve spent a lot of time speaking to members of our PerfectDraft community about loyalty & rewards.
Something we’re really passionate about is rewarding our most loyal customers and you’ve given us some great feedback and ideas on how we can do this.
We’re now excited to announce the launch of our ‘Spring Rewards’ program.
During pregnancy, it is recommended to a pregnant woman not to eat any raw or semi-cooked food such as meat, fish, cold meats and certain types of cheese. And above all, smoking and drinking alcohol should be stopped.
In recent years, alcohol-free beer has become a real trend in the beer market here in the UK. More and more big beer brands and small craft breweries are starting to brew it to the delight of non-alcoholic drinkers. However, there are many questions about this kind of beer.
We’re back for the second edition of ‘Must Try Kegs’. Last week we spotlighted three fantastic kegs from our MultiTRY range and this week is no different. From a personal favourite lager of mine, to a couple of flavour sensations, take a read through why we think you have to try these three.
