There's a lad in my daughters class named Lennon.
Unsurprisingly, the entire school calls him Lemon.

This week one of my locals had beers called Ryan Gosling (I think the spelling may have been Rye-an Gosling or something) and Christian Bale Ale next to one another.
They were from different breweries.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
This lunchtime I had some Meantime Fresh Tank lager to go with my pizza, because I didn't fancy one of their Pale Ales. Apparently it's unfiltered and untainted by contact with air. It's decent enough and superior to GYP, not least in not being gassy.

Motorolie from Brouwerij Moersleutel. (Motor oil from the Spanner Brewery.)
Really nice 12% imp stout. Roasty, a bit metallic, some caramel and a bit of hoppy bitterness.
One of the better new breweries in NL.

Salopian's "Lemon Dream" is a lovely pint on a summer's day - worth trying, if you can find it.
Robinsons' seasonals are all film/TV themed this year, IIRC. Although I've only tried Magnum IPA so far. (The pump clip has a moustache).
It has to be turned over really quickly (the pub has to sell the tanks' worth in some ridiculous amount of time, or tip the stuff out if it's going to stay tasty. Draft magazine have done an article on it;
http://draftmag.com/tank-beer/
...and I think one of the better beer blogs has done one about it in Czechoslovakia (possibly - it's a while since I read it).

Nice strong stuff! The labels 'escape' due to the heavy glass type...the font makes a useful frame. I take it that the top piece of paper is the second and only "Tom, Robinsons Band"...2 so far, but could be 4-6-8...

James Watt - head brewdoggie - disputes this story. Accordingly to him, there was no bar: the Draft Punk people were trying to register a trademark and BrewDog opposed it in view of their earlier mark(s). I'd have done exactly the same.
There seem to be a lot of these types of disputes in brewing. Recently a Dutch brewery had to undergo an complete rebrand from "Pampus" to "Pontus" after the Delerium Tremens people came after them in view of their beer "Campus".
De Molen have a beer called "Rasputin". In the US it's called "Disuptin" after North Coast Brewing brought a trademark infringement claim against them.

Cripes. Old Tom is a Mrs M favourite. Not sure what she'll make of his ginger confrere - must get some to try.
