    I always make a point of calling into the brewery tap, when in Burton. As well as finding White Shield on draught, you can find other beers brewed to their original recipes, as part of their historical brewing range.

    I have bought WWS for many years. It use to be in 275ml bottles. I can order on line but to make it worth my while it has to be 28 bottles. It works out at £1.88 a bottle. That takes up a fair bit of space, as I like to drink different types of beer. I will wait until they have a promotion % reduction deal.
    Great beer to drink at home.

    It's a beauty. I got a case of 12 when I left. I still have one left...with a 1996 bbd date on it. I can't bring myself to open it, although I know it will still be perfectly drinkable!
    When I took over the role, my first task was to correct the mistake that the previous brand manager had made. She'd written the bumf on the back of the label, quoting the journey the beer made around the Cape Horn to India. Of course, it was the Cape of GOOD HOPE. We had to recall thousands of bottles!

    A very clever crossword clue for Absinthe:
    Sailors in the drink.

    How civilised: sipping single malt whilst doing the crossword.

    You’ll be better off with the painkillers if they play like Saturday

    As I haven’t been able to get out, then I am lucky that a local brewery will deliver. ‘True Grit a very pale and hoppy strong ale. Well hopped using Chinook hops; a mellow bitter makes way for a distinctive citrus/grapefruit aroma’ @ 5% for the first half. I am then going for a Stout @ 4.5% for the second, made with ‘…English Phoenix and Goldings hops which provide a smooth bitterness as well as subtle hints of treacle in the aroma’. Both brewed by Millstone

    Same here... too early now at any rate -- breakfast just finished. But there's a selection of beers to choose from for the evening: Landlord, Bombardier, Jever, Czechvar, Ottakringer, Kilkenny.

    Its even harder being a beer snob and having to drink an ever so less than perfectly pulled pint, as you will find from the look on Alan's face on Saturday if Sue in the *@?$ doesn't get his head right or if it fizzes out too quickly.

    • St Austell (Cornwall) Proper Job IPA 5.5%

    I thought you were necking them all individually.
    Didn’t know you made a proper drink with them.
    I’m gonna have to gen up on this drinking lark for the season ahead.
    Coke Zero and lemonade is just not going to cut it for the next 10 months is it?
