Lovely fresh Hells.

That priest's scar though ; wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

Veltins Pilsner

Different taste , nice and fresh tho.

I was a bit wary of having this, but was pleasantly surprised. The coffee was not overpowering, and the porter itself was not 'heavy' as some can be. I do like Adnams beers having lived in Norfolk for a few years, and am very happy they've continued their quality with this porter.

I had occasion today to go to the Roscoe Head. Very happy to see that they still had a mild on tap. A brewer that I haven't previously come across : North Cotswold Brewery.

I have to say that it was absolute nectar, smooth, great head and a fantastic taste, all you want from a mild. I have to confess , after another few pints later ( Brimstage Oyster Catcher) ...

And still am

It was very gratifying to see, on a miserable, rain soaked day and blowing a gale, the pub was packed on a Tuesday afternoon. Quality sells as always.

Oyster catcher was unfortunately gone but I caught the mild yesterday, serious business. Had another one that I can't remember the name of that was apparently brewed in some fellas yard, which isn't as good an endorsement as it should be, as it was a lovely pale.

The Oyster Catcher was in another pub, only 4 quid, a bargain nowadays - and I never thought I'd say that a few years' ago.

I know what you mean, and if the world wasn't so arse it'd be cheaper, though on the bright side still its great being able to try so many different real ales in so many different places for 2/3 of the price of a Neck Oil.

The beer culture is in this country Vs others is very good. And maybe I'm a bit tipsy but it's one of the few things the UK, food and drink wise, do very well indeed.

I had a 'red' ale this week. Never heard of a red ale before, just tasted like bitter. Is this a new fancy advertising slogan, or has it always existed ?

Gives you a hangover from hell

Caffreys used to do a red ale too.

Two day hangover gear.

You need a job in advertising ; a great tagline, plenty of people would see that as a great selling point.

It`s that bad, the following day you`re almost paralysed with the nausea, the headache and the cold sweats

Like walking to the top of the South Stand ; I know how Hillary and Tenzing felt.

Another Super fresh one.

Onto an Old Favourite.
