That's because they're having trouble with their wheels.

Lucky Nicky, Kernel citra at kick-off time - it can only go downhill from there.

Six pints of Harvey's Porter, on top of three G and Ts, and a several glasses of fizz felt like a mistake at 02:30 this morning.
But not so much now...

- You want hills? We got hills
The last Saturday before Christmas was always going to be a bit crazy for a pub crawl and so it transpired....
Northern Quarter, Manchester...there are a zillion bars and pubs of all types; old skool boozers, gentrified gin palaces and hipster joints where you strap on your man bun and go for it
My drinking friend made an early tactical error. He got to Stalybridge station early and it has an excellent bar. So he had two pints of Titanic Plum Porter whilst waiting for the train. Great beer, but was that wise considering 6 hours of drinking ahead of him?
Using the google maps technology I shall timestamp the crawl....it's almost as if you're there with me
17.28 - 17.54 Mother Macs. A real old skool boozer, infamous for a mass murder there in the 70s. No beer...what? They had run out of everything except lager and chestnut mild. So I had the mild. I've never had this style before. It was pretty good...nicely malty and, important for a crawl, not too strong
17.56 - 18.30 57 Thomas Street. Marble Brewery outlet so always good beer. I had a pint of Pint. 3.9% but crammed full of flavour. Definitely recommended session beer
18.32 - 19.36 The Abel Heywood. Bit if a gin palace but does food so was a necessary stop. A pint of some grapefruity IPA that I can't remember the name of
19.39 - 20.13 The Crown and Kettle. Proper pub that carries a great range of beers. Pint of American IPA. I was surprised, I didn't realise this style was so dark. I didn't like it so much
20.13 - 20.44 Bar Fringe. Another old skool boozer, rough as you like. But it does a great range of Belgian beers. Half of Duvel
20.47 - 21.16 Castle Hotel. A favourite of mine. Good juke box. Pint of Seraphim Blonde. This was really nice. Not over hopped
21.17 - 21.40 Kosmonaut. Bit of a man bun establishment. Cocktails were taken
21.41 - 22.05 Tarrif & Dale. Final place, final pint
By then my friend was regretting the extra pints of plum porter so it was time for home.

Man buns and cock tails. The mind boggles.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Now that my liver has recovered from its beating by bile I can start drinking (modestly) again. I picked up a bottle to have with a home-made curry this evening (I'm looking forward to the takeaway in the new year...), and Mr Waitrose's magic swiper gently beeped to say that it was 4 for £6. It was rude not to. Sadly, that lot will probably see me all the way to the end of the year.

Just cracked open a can of Magic Rock Wayniac IPA. No pictures because...
Well, is it just me or is it impossible to pour real beer cleanly from a can? It looks not so much like a fine ale, more like the contents of the stockpot in a dodgy Soho bistro.
Tastes good though.

Sainos wheat beer by St Peters Brewery in Suffolk (no idea who they are) it's nice stuff, quite subtle but in a good way in this day and age of blasting your taste buds into next Christmas.
