Beer?

Not all of us are elderly gentlemen with bladder issues, you know...

Yours are all bladdered issues.

You obviously aren't drinking enough.

Christ. The bladder issues I can handle, but if I'm going to morph into an elderly gentleman, I'm on the wagon from tomorrow...

Are you a bloke like Ganymede and TMN too?

It's not that bad, you can grow a moustache and fart without people thinking it's unbecoming. And you can tell youngsters you were in the SAS and one of the guys on the balcony.

I love their beers. The Thai Bo has been mainstreamed up a bit since I last drank it. It used to be an exotic oddity - thin enough to drink very fast, with ludicrous lashings of lemongrass and a minty backdrop. So a bit much for some palates and not enough for others, but a bit like some fantastic summery newfangled rehydration drink that just happens to be beer. Now it's more like a slightly fuller golden ale with a heavy hint of lemongrass. Not that that's a bad thing, because they do some stonking and far-from-ordinary golden ales of various hues and depths such as Croeso, Columbo and O5, but I liked the boldness and distinctiveness of the original. What with gold beers being popular, there's a bit of a rash of mediocre golden stuff from less interesting brewers hogging too many pumps lately - seems to be a new one every day that tastes exactly the same as the last, from Evan Evans or the yawnsome Cottage from Swindon. Unfortunately the various new Gower microbreweries have yet to come up with anything outstanding. Celt Golden from Caerphilly is a stormer, though.

Wowzers, this is all getting serious, better start penning something spectacular for the next beer post, 's'not bad' and a grainy phono just ain't gonna cut the mustard any more.

The last time I went into a pub in Wales they didn't even have a bitter on draught!

Swat I thought, all that fine beer and it's a small glass of continental lager!

This is making me thirsty....

Who's the lad working at the bar?

I'd start with the Dark Star and then move onto the Thornbridge.
