Please note: While we expand our UK coverage, the definitions of terms like "Newcastle" and "Manchester" will be rather fluid! When we eventually have Delegates in more locations, we'll be more geographically accurate with where we list beers.

ABOUT THE NEWCASTLE DELEGATE
Meet our London beer guides!
Liam Arrowsmith is unfortunate to work in an area renowned for stag and hen parties on the coast of Northeast England.
Being a lifelong fan of Viz comic, your Secretary General knows a thing or two about Geordies.
Particularly memorable is an episode of Sid the Sexist where the four lads take an "Eighty Poond piss" up the wall and promise to aim for a hundred Pounder the next time they go out.
Still, it never hurts to have real Geordie eyes and ears as a Newcastle beer guide, so it's a great joy to introduce trainee lifeguard Liam Arrowsmith.
Naturally you'd expect a good Newkie lad to review Newkie Brown (Newcastle Brown ale), but the Internet being what it is, somebody from Las Vegas already did that. So Liam reviewed... Efes beer from Turkey.
Odd? We're resigned to this sort of thing by now! Here's his speech.
Your proposal speech, Liam
Let
us remember before the barman, and commend to his sure keeping:
those who have died for
their alcohol in bar fights;
those whom we knew would
get too drunk too quickly, and whose memory we treasure because they
are lucky to remember last night;
and all who have passed
out in the service of mankind.
They shall not
get hungover as we that are left will do:
Alcopops shall not weary
them, nor the tequila condemn.
At the going down of the
sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
This is my version of The Lord's Prayer. It can be found on the noticeboard at my place of work. After every training session on a Thursday night, the whole lifeguard team get together to party.
We work on a beach in one of the main destinations for stag and hen parties on the coast of England, so with a large selection of bars and clubs right on our doorstep, we cannot help but embrace the culture of the local folk. As Geordies (the local name for the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) have a world-wide reputation for being hardened drinkers and having a keen eye for a good tipple, I think it is my duty as a citizen of this great planet to bring the best of the local culture to the masses.
Currently me and my work mates have been out partying every single Thursday and Saturday for the last 11 months. We have tasted every single spirit, cocktail, alcopop and beer in Newcastle and we intend to keep searching till we find the ideal drink. Wish us luck as we set off on this long journey: many will fall by the wayside, but we will continue our search.
Great to have you, Liam!
