Beer?

[Aperitif]

Made by Wychwood, they're from Witney, funny bunch over that way.

Oh...that's OK then - it's safe to drink.
Anyway, being offered beer at work isn't normal (I'm neither a Northern Nomad languishing in London, nor a plywood purveyor with a penchant... )
So I was surprised to be given a bottle of Champion. Never tasted before but, to coin a phrase 'very nice' as it was bitter, but sweet. Couldn't drink loads of it although one wasn't enough...I was hungry late into the afternoon. (And I was expecting something like a Becks etc!)

And then, having expressed appreciation for the flavoursome brew, I got this on Sunday. "Yes madam, I'm available for work next week too...will you be going shopping?"

And that's work? About time I found happiness.
Right, off to joust with the lorries and the mobile media slobs in London now...reality strikes back.

I like Champion, it's quite strong though so best not to down too many, it's moving into barley wine territory I rec.

Ah, good man. Next AGM will be held in Camden satellite then. No need to move as there is a kitchen on site. Just drink, pass out, wake up, eat, drink...try and catch a train. Tactical Nuclear Penguin might need negotiation too...

Looks like all the rough stuff is going to come from one bladder if all goes to plan for the Busch whackers...

An update............I managed to resist my beer gift (mainly cos the train was at 6am), boo

In the meeting was a guy whom, it turns out, is the owner of Isle of Wight's biggest brewery, Goddards. So we had a nice chat about the pros and cons of chocolate malt and bottle conditioning, rather than the reason we were invited to the meeting, hooray

There is an apocryphal story that a 5* hotel in Dong Guang (a city in southern China) has sales of Chateau Petrus every year greater than the Chateau's total production

Fake expensive brand alcohol in China is endemic. Hence I drink the beer (too cheap to be worth counterfeiting)

Hence I drink the beer (too cheap to be worth counterfeiting)

In one of my other tiresome affectations (fountain pens) it's been found that lowly stuff like the Hero 616 (an inexpensive, but rather good fountain pen that typically sells at £5ish for 10) is frequently counterfeited. The margins must be small, but their cheapness doesn't seem to stop them being faked.

(This concludes today's possibly irrelevant thread derailment).

Not a derailment at all JtM. You're just talking 'small beer' that's all. Write on brother...now that's derailment!
