Beer Today is a regularly updated ale news website. I'm concentrating on the news side of the brewing world, picking up the best stories from around the globe, but very much focusing on the scene at home here in Britain. We do, after all, brew some of the most fantastic beers in the world and we should celebrate this!

There's also an up-to-date blog of my drinking activities here in Cornwall — and occasionally further afield — and a chance for you to respond within the forum, both now on the same Ning-hosted site.

Please, tell me what you think of the site. Obviously, it's always going to be a work in progress, but every day a little more is added. The e-mail address is darren@beertoday.co.uk. I'll gladly receive items for the newsdesk too, with pics if available.

Cheers!
