Beer?

[uphillstruggler]

Maybe the store layout makes sense after a few of those.

Nope, afraid not. Still ended up by the cuddly toys when all I wanted was a sink cabinet.

Dobber is magnificent but you lose points for not observing the Thornbridge boycott (though I admit I almost didn't notice, being distracted by the pretty bike on the label, the cunning swines).

at the risk of being lynched, what is the Thornbridge boycott and why?

The owner of Thornbridge is a nasty piece of work. Or something. I can't remember the exact details now.

Shame, cos they do make some decent beer.

It's only you and me with any integrity smutchers, everyone else is filling their boots on the stuff.

I went into Glossop's new Beer & Wine emporium for the first time and came out with these three to try. The others are cos I also went past Tesco and they were 3 for a fiver

Never tried them before so I'll let you know

I quite like the Crafty Hen, it's a kind of supercharged Old Speck, I've got a bottle in stock, might take it for a spin later.

I like the golden hen, very refreshing.

can I join the boycott or is it a private thing? I don't know the brewery let alone the owner but I am fickle!

I was faced with a choice of about a hundred beers, none of which I was familiar with. I recognised the Marble from photos here (thanks guys). The Thornbridge one, I was suckered by a pretty label

The shop stays open til 9.30pm every night. On a night out you can pop in and drink the beers on the premises for an 80p "corkage" per bottle. We're gonna do exactly that Saturday night

That's a great idea , sounds like a great place to start.
