Ok, start with the pale ales, have a breather with the table beer and then finish on the magnificent stout. After that you can get really pissed on red wine.
I've just had an Adnams Broadside and am now enjoying a Hook Norton Twelve Days.
This batch of table beer is 3.1%. Good mid-session break.
Reminds of the time I used to have a ciggie sometimes at half-time during a game of footie!

Lightweight, any decent player should be able to play whilst smoking and carrying a pint.

Proper training that is.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
That reminds me. I was at a conference last week where they had a beer-tasting, include the Kernel stout - glorious stuff. Also a rather nasty Spanish number, something with a lot of honey in it and a delicious French beer. The after-conference wine was so filthy that I blagged an extra bottle of the French one.
Can I remember what any of them were? Can I hell. The wine at the dinner afterwards (at the top of the Heron tower) knocked any semblance of memory out of me

A day out today, so I had a half in the indoor market at Altrincham, from the Belgian Beer Bar there. (Whilst eating a fabulous chorizo roll - I can't recommend that place enough).
Anyhoo, I had Barbar Bok (Brasserie Lefebvre, 8.5% abv, draught). A jolly nice Christmas beer, very rich & fruity, just on the right side of sweet for me. Mrs M had a Liefmans Fruitesse, (without ice!) which she liked.

Later, I had one of the M&S Single Hop beers we picked up while we were out. Citra came up on the beer randomiser as the choice. There's no surprises really - the beer is powerfully grapefruity, with a main bitter citrus taste that lingers into the aftertaste - I think I picked up some sweet topnotes, but they're ephemeral. That said, it's a nice, if uncomplicated beer, and I enjoyed it a lot.
Mrs M had a Bacchus Frambozenbier - I'm not a huge fan of fruit beers, but this isn't a bad one. There's a main taste of raspberry, with a bit of the slightly sour base coming through.

Can you nick me a Maredsous glass next time you're there, John!

Ah, the glass is from my own collection I'm afraid Rich - I think it's from a gift pack I picked up in Belgium.
The one downside of the indoor market's Belgian bar is that they serve in plastic :/
Unlike!
I may Google gift packs. I'd like to keep pace with the etiquette of DP
I had a couple of Kwaks out of the wooden contraption last week - I'd have felt a right Charlie if others hadn't been doing it unselfconsciously!
