Beer?

It's that time of year again!

Unfortunately, I'm going to be away next weekend so will miss the Food & Drink Festival, but I'll have to go out of my way to look for some of the beers at local outlets when I'm back.

I meant, another marathon!

Ha! Oh yes, I see what you mean. Well, this one is the one I really wanted to do, but it's a hilly trail marathon so the other one was actually part of my training for this one. If that makes sense. Basically, I thought I'd better do a relatively easy one first for practice.

I've been on the wagon for a whole week, thought I'd better be good ahead of the race, but I couldn't resist a swift one at lunchtime today. Carb-loading, innit?

Ackshully the bar has those Mumford and Sons (that you Englandshirelanders all like so much) on the jukebox, so you are very very right!

Shall be sampling these from the local brewery over the weekend, will report back, initial tastings a few weeks ago were very promising

I thought it was an odd name for the beer and the brewery but I see that they're based in Milton Keynes!

The actual famous concrete cows are literally a stone's throw away.

All the beers are named after local legends or facts. It's a one man show but he does it well.

The dirty cow can was in the final of the independent brewers can awards. No less!

Order some, you won't be disappointed.

I'm not in the mood for decent ale tonight after the result of the referendum, so I am punishing myself with Blackthorn Cider from the south of Britain. Followed by whatever other shíte I can find to drink until I can forget all about it - there's maybe even a "pear cider" lying about somewhere.

I would sympathise but it seems as if you weren't forced to listen DP, while I had to endure a solo from grandchild #2...
...without a beer either

Try brake fluid and tonic. Sure beats Blackthorn cider

The Wild Beer - Indigo Child, English/Italian parents. This isn't my thing at all, flowers, fruit and shíte, it's a sour beer the sort of thing that would be right up @Delftse Post or @User259's street.

I have other plans for the brake fluid

With the recorder that way up I know you'll be getting some wonderful tunes. Nice posters.

Evening Marmion.

I'm not blow smoke up yer backside but I'm truly happy that it was a no vote. I can und your disappointment but I really think that the Scots will come out of it stronger AND more independent.
For the record, my dad live north of Aberdeen, english through and through, and voted yes.

Whatever happens, I really am glad we're all British still - with all that goes with it.
