This page is a "blog" of my progress in developing this site. If you are watching my progress, or want to see what has been added since you last visited, most of the details should be listed here (but I'm only aiming for the 'headlines', not every single change). If you have not read this blog before, the first entry at the bottom gives details about my starting point for this year and my hopes and intentions for the future.

Last year, I added a lot of unlisted spirits because I couldn't get them catalogued. Following a change to the process some of these mats are now being catalogued. I am slowly going to work through the new listings and update them on my site. I am not going to list all the details, as they are really just edits rather than new additions, but please be aware that these edits may be happening. Some name changes may occur to fall in line with the new catalogue, e.g. I originally listed James Cook (brandy) as "Cook", but have now changed to "James Cook".

Start of this year's Blog - January 2026
See the subpage for what I did in 2025. In some ways, a frustrating year as once again there were many days lost to illness and computer problems, which left me unable to scan as many new additions as I would have liked to do. But, I took the opportunity towards the end of the year to start catching up on a large backlog of spares. I added a lot of spares, but still have many more to include, if only I had the time!
Apart from the end of the year, I managed to update all the countries I had, even adding more to Germany (though there remain many German mats to do). I also added a large number of non-brewery mats. It is still frustratingly difficult to get many unlisted mats added to the catalogue, so I decided to add as many as I could to my site without a catalogue number (I still have more to do). I expect to start 2026 by catching up on my recent brewery acquisitions, but that should only take a month or so. After that, I intend to do more updates to Germany, and clear my backlog of foreign brewery spares, whilst continuing to add as many UK brewery spares as I can. I still have so much to do!
As always, if you want any specific beermats, please let me know what you are interested in and I will do my best to help you.
Of course, there are constantly new additions to all countries, breweries and/or sections. I do these in batches, which means some may be held at the back of the queue, so if you have sent me a beermat recently, there may be a delay before I can add it to my site.
