Residence Sierra - Cela Canet, Canet En Roussillon

Religion wars in the Languedoc Roussillon

Advantages: It costs nothing but a bit of time
Disadvantages: It took more time than I'd planned

The Cathedral is visible from all the roads which lead to Lodève, with its imposing 57 metre high square bell tower set in the heart of the town. As on many Saturday afternoons, my son had a football match, this time in Lodève. Years of matches have allowed me to discover a large part of the Languedoc Roussillon region. On arriving in Lodève, the Cathedral struck me as the obvious classical visit. Lodève is situated in the bottom of a deep valley, and therefore any road taken to get there leads from the surrounding mountains above. Lodève being a small town of less than 7000 inhabitants, the Cathedral tower lofts way over the four-storey red tiled houses. Having dropped my son off with his team, I parked up not far from the Cathedral entrance, I thought I'd take a few photos of the outside first. I wanted to walk around it to catch ...

Review of Lodève Cathedral France, Languedoc - Roussillon

HIGH SIERRA

Advantages: Tasty, complex and overflowing with hops
Disadvantages: It's taken 20 years for it to be readily available in the UK

Until quite recently, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was one of those beers that I'd heard good things about but had never managed to find. So imagine my delight when a local supermarket began stocking it last year. I know, I'm easy pleased. Actually, although I am relatively easy-to-please, in an undemanding, who-gives-a-fnck-anyway sort-of-a-way, I do take my beer seriously. Well, not exactly seriously, it's just beer after all, but I much prefer to drink one or two quality beers than chugging down six-packs of burp-juice. So, when everyone else trundles home from the shops with bulky crates of chemical fizz and a bottle of hair-conditioner, I skip home with just a few select, well-crafted beers that are bottle-conditioned. The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company of Chico, California, is arguably considered to be one of the top craft ...

Review of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Advantages: Good taste and aroma
Disadvantages: Price, although it is good quality and you get what you pay for

This is a very tasty, somewhat hoppy pale ale from the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in the USA. It is the most popular beer produced by the brewery. I bought a couple of bottles from my local Morrisons as they seem to have a nice selection of different beers there that aren't available elsewhere. I paid about £1.50 each for a couple of small 350ml stubby bottles. It is 5.6% Alc. There is a thin layer of sediment in the bottle due to the beer being bottle conditioned. Bottle conditioned beers are generally of a much better quality than comercial beers which are filtered, force carbonated and contain no live yeast. This sediment is actually live yeast, so you could use it for home brewing if you wanted, I do. But otherwise you can just swirl this into the beer before pouring and it adds to the flavour. But that's personal taste. Upon ...
