Sorry! I can see that your browser either doesn't support Javascript, or has it turned off. As this site makes extensive use of Javascript, some of its features won't be available to you. I've done the best I can to make at least the basic information available (because I know Javascript is a particular problem for blind people using screen readers) but as a one-man-band with many other things to do as well, I can't make every feature accessible without Javascript. If there's some particular part of the site that gives you problems because of a disability, please let me know and I'll try to do something about it.

Site problems

The fault at the hosting company that was affecting the site earlier today has now been fixed. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Beermad is here to document the wonderful range of Real Ales produced by the brewers of the British Isles. The database contains details of beers from every beer producer known to have been brewing in the British Isles since about 1976. Search for a beer, producer or place using the search-bar (top-right), try a power search or browse the A-Z of producers.

A particular love of Beermad's editor is Belgian beer; if you'd like to know a bit more about the amazing beers from this under-rated country, have a look at the Beginner's guide to Belgian beer.

Beermad is a labour of love. It has never taken commercial sponsorship and never will.
