Well I just looked up Swing Swang Lane but I was diverted by this story of everyday Basingstoke folk.

Who knew Basingstoke was so exciting! (Well, you did, of course, but you know what I mean)

It was once the target of a rowdy rabble – known locally as the Massaganians – who tried to drive away the drink-abstaining influence of the Salvation Army in Basingstoke.
The rabble themselves were under the influence of alcohol, often plied to them by local brewers and publicans.

They don't call it "Amazingstoke" for nothing.

apropos of nothing, I just took the trouble to google 'massaganian'.

BrewDogs latest experiment/gimmick.

Same basic recipe, brewed to four different strengths: pale ale, IPA, DIPA and barley wine.

Ok, but the basic recipe is a bit bland. On to the barley wine now, which has a bit of hot alcohol which I like, but isn't quite sticky enough.

Nice packaging.

Kicking off with a flanders-style sour ale from a Belgo-Italian combo. It's not bad, but after a couple of swigs my chest started burning. Just looked at the label (which is superb by the way) a bit more closely and it's 11.5%.

Edit: it's Belgo-Spanish akshully.

It's a bit more complicated than that...

German night at the BBD involved a pint of Marzen Kostritzer - couldn't finish it. Reverted back to Old Red Eye and Brighton Bier Underdog.
I had a paprika bratwurst with a pint of chips so a German/English equivalent of Franglais.
Gerglish? Engman?
