Reviews of Beertickers: beyons the ale


The world of beer blogging is growing and growing.

In fact a lot of my daily beer chat takes place on the social networks like twitter and facebook. But increasingly I get drawn to the beer blogs and thankfully they too have been drawn to our film. And so far, many of them have done a grand job of talking the film up.

If I was to get excited and say the reviews have been good then I wouldn't be lying. Obviously its great to get positive feedback in the online world but I'm still concerned as to how to keep the momentum going.

Tweeting, facebook-ing, and blogging are all key to building a little bit of hype, but I'm wondering where it will all lead. I hope its to UK and World screenings - but I suspect that will take time and the help of a very full media press pack. Of which all these blogs and reviews will be a part of.

So, keep 'em coming!

Here's an extract and link to the recent blog review, all the way from New Zealand! Thanks Greg.

Beertickers: beyond the ale

posted on December 28, 2009 in Drinking, Reviews

I came across Phil Parkin on twitter due to a mention from well known author and beer blogger Pete Brown. I followed him, and learned he was making a film on a subject which immediately tickled my fancy. I’ve always been amused and a little intrigued by trainspotters. Trainspotting is a remarkably British hobby/obsession. It involves cataloging locomotive numbers – effectively “collecting” rolling stock. The method is fairly simple. You spot a train, and write down its unique number – you “tick it off the list”. This sort of thing strikes a chord with me, as I’m a tiny bit OCD (aren’t we all about something?) and am something of a completist. If I like a band, I need to have everything they’ve ever released. If I enjoy a TV show, I have to see every episode. Since I like beer, I feel a need to drink every one I can find. I am, it seems, a variety of a new breed of trainspotters who “spot” beers. Beertickers. Phil’s film is called Beertickers: beyond the ale and is all about “us”.
