his page will list all new additions to the site with useful links to them; newest stuff at the top, obviously.   Most of my phots are now on, so if you have any others and wish to embarrass someone then send 'em in! (as well as anything else you want)!

I'm also regularly archiving off the old stuff from this page.

09/07/10 - June's Beer of the Month and Pub of the Month are now up as is yet another piece on Brendan Dobbin and hoppy beers!

03/07/10 - Apologies for the lack of activity but I've been busy with setting up the brewing company and working all over the place... one update today, namely a new Gazzateer, and the beer / pub of the month for June will appear shortly.

23/06/10 - We all knew it was coming, but it still hurts... Goodbye Fudgey, we had some great times, the world has lost one of the good guys.  RIP mate.

03/06/10 - May's mammoth Beer of the Month section is now online plus, if you've not seen it on Steel City Brewing, my piece on Mid-Atlantic Pale Ale is here too; see if you agree with me!

31/05/10 - My best beers has finally been updated and I'm currently ploughing through 300+ beers to try and decide which I liked best... the Pub of the Month for May is up, though!

20/05/10 - I'm back from the USA and what a mental roadshow that was!  See the Gazzateer for a quick summary of what happened, plus there will be plenty of rambling opinionated diatribes to come in the following few months about a whole galaxy of subjects the trip has shone a rather tawdry light on.  But, for now, I shall simply curse the volcano which generously allowed us get back a mere 13 hours late...

04/05/10 - My Pub of the Month and Beer of the Month for April are now online.

30/04/10 - The beer scene in Gdańsk is looking up and the brand-new gen from our visit can be found here.  There's also a new Gazzateer which includes a horse with a superb name...  More to come this weekend, although I'm preparing for our massive trip to the US next week so that's getting priority at present!

20/04/10 - Revised info on Portsmouth's best pubs can be found here (plus a map) and, after a long break, a new Soapbox which makes up for the ten months since the last one with it's rantiness!

05/04/10 - My Pub of the Month and Beer of the Month for March are up plus a piece about creamy heads on beer which, if you've read the Real Ale Twats in Viz, will make sense.

02/04/10 - The Milan beer gen page is now updated (as is the map) and just doing this makes me want to return!!!  More stuff to come over the weekend.

28/03/10 - A new Gazzateer is here and I'm currently updating the Milan section after our recent trip.

09/03/10 - A tale of how Derby came to fall from grace as "scoops-central" in the 1990's is online, plus a Gazzateer.

02/03/10 - The February Pub of the Month and Beer of the Month are online, plus I've done a new page of gen for Düsseldorf and the surrounding area.  Two updates in two days... you lucky people, you.

01/03/10 - Apologies for no updates but I've been busy, been away, been busy again... you know the score by now.  Anyway, a new Gazzateer is up and I've done a Google Map for Düsseldorf.

08/02/10 - My January Beer of the Month is up plus a new Gazzateer.

02/02/10 - Some phots from Tokyo have been added plus some from Genoa and the latest Pub of the Month is online.

31/01/10 - Apologies for the lack of updates but work have been paying me to scoop beers in Basel and Lausanne!  Plenty to come, I've added a new Gazzateer plus updated the Google map for Basel, added one for Lausanne, and updated the beer gen pages for Basel and Lausanne (and surprisingly beery it is too!).

10/01/10 - The review of 2009 is now online!  Bet you couldn't wait...

01/01/10 - A new Gazzateer is up and the review of 2009 isn't far away either.  RIP Charlie, we'll miss you.

28/12/09 - I've updated the German section with the gen from our recent trip.  I'm working hard on a mammoth tome provisionally titled "So you want to be a Euroscooper..." which, as the name suggests, will tell you all you need to know to become a scooper abroad... not sure when it will be finished but I hope fairly shortly.  The latest Beer of the Month and Pub of the Month are online also.

11/12/09 - So much to do, so little time to do it...!  The November Pub of the Month is now up as is most of the Beer of the Month too.  My report for the Isle of Man is also here, leap-frogging much more worthy reports in the process, with plenty more to come soon...

01/12/09 - After a very successful visit to southern Germany (53 scoops!!) I've updated all the relevant Google maps and am currently working on the gen pages... plus reports for several places which have been on hold due to Steel City Brewing recently.  Now we're getting into the swing I should hopefully have more time to devote to Scoopergen again!  Loads of stuff in the backlog, thanks to all who have contributed and your stuff will be on here eventually!  Mark Enderby has been out scooping the Axis of Evil again and sends some reports from behind Commie lines...

17/11/09 - I've finally sorted out the Japan section, some phots to come soon!  Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been busy with my other project recently...

07/11/09 - The Isle of Man section has been amended with a few phots and gen plus the October Beer of the Month entry is finally finished!

03/11/09 - The Beer of the Month page has been updated!

01/11/09 - A new Gazzateer is up, as is my Pub of the Month for October, the Beer of the Month will appear later this week as well as some gen from my Isle of Man trip (let's just say I'd not rush there for scooping purposes, okay?).

25/10/09 - I'm off to the Isle of Man with work next week so expect some gen when I return!  Meanwhile I've added some Google maps for our forthcoming trip to München/Augsburg/Ulm/Stuttgart next month and some phots to the Wrocław page.

22/10/09 - The beer gen for Wrocław is now online, plus the Google map has been updated.  I think I've found a new favourite scooping pub, shame it's in Poland...

06/10/09 - As promised, the September Beer of the Month is up!

05/10/09 - Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been busy with other matters... the Pub of the Month for September (yes, there is one this month!) is now online with the beer to follow probably tomorrow.

20/09/09 - After 25 scoops in Genoa I'm once again filled with admiration for Italian craft beer and, even more so, their superb beer shops!  The details are now here although the report may take some time!  A few Google maps have been amended, too.

10/09/09 - A particularly ranty Gazzateer is online now plus various other updates have been done across the site none interesting enough to mention specifically.  Off to Genoa this weekend for yet more Italian beer scooping... oh yes!!!

31/08/09 - Well, if you didn't know now you do...  plus the August Beer of the Month is here but, owing to me not having been anywhere interesting recently, there's no Pub of the Month!

25/08/09 - The rest of the gen for Milan is online and - finally - the Plzeň report is too!

16/08/09 - A few new Google maps are online and my report from Milan this January is now here.  Expect one for Plzeň this week (the brewpub gen is already there) plus much more stuff.

05/08/09 - The July Beer of the Month and Pub of the Month pages are now online, plus a new Gazzateer outlining a change in policy!

02/08/09 - Another of my UK trips is now up, Llandudno this time, where you'll undoubtedly be pleased to hear normal service has resumed!
