Beer?

Not the place where Dale played, although the barpeep just told me in her slightly unidiomatic English that some blokes will shortly be "playing with their instruments".

Unidiomatic is my new favourite word, that is so getting used next week...

You encapsulate unidiomatic.

He looks quite the part as a centurion there.

Ob pedantry. If Roman centurions wore helmet crests (it's not certain) they might well have been transverse. And they probably didn't carry a javelin. And the myth of the 9th Legion getting lost in Scotland is speculation popularised by Rosemary Sutcliffe. They weren't mice either, but in context that's a minor discrepancy.

They did, however, drink beer while in the inhospitable north. But it wasn't fancy craft nonsense.

That wants nipping in the bud.

See this bit:
"10x carefully curated beers from small batch breweries"

That's a lot of nobbery, the kind of thing that would appeal to the likes of @rich p; curated, I bloody ask you!!

Like the carefully curated posts here on CC, especially in the Beer thread...

Well, thanks for not being (co)hort-y while correcting me. Some would people get on the cent(urion) of a mistake and just pile(um) in, and I'm glad(ius) that you didn't.

John,

You think my Latin skill is declining, Rich?

Thanks for the compliment!

If you've got any of the 2016 Fullers Vintage Ale, you could be sitting on a goldmine;

Another McGinty tip-off if anyone's interested in Fuller's Vintage Ale, they've cocked up on the label printing on some 2016's and are flogging them off at £4/bottle (you have to buy a case). That's not bad for this stuff, which is quite nice.

I did tell you all, I bought a case of it.

I believe there's a resident of Swansea on this thread who's posted pictures of a nice looking litte pub that she sometimes visits?

I'll be stopping there on Wednesday night and was thinking of giving it a try if I'm nearby/got the time.

Me too.
There's a small, reclaimed empty shop in Hove which is my new favourite drinking den.

A wise investment! You've stockpiled it all, of course...?
