Interesting article! I worked for four years on the other side of the road and didn't know it was there.
I looked up the beer brewed with a 1958 strain and the fermentation got stuck! It was quite a neat idea though - the guy was brewing a 50th anniversary Maris Otter beer, so wanted a contemporary yeast.
I guess the Norwich collection is one of ale yeasts since lager yeasts are much less diverse. Some crazy Belgians are on the case though - "We were able to get some serious sexual action between our yeasts"...

Boondoggle is the beer I've seen with most different labels - the one you've pictured may be, I think, the fourth variant I've seen since I last tried a bottle in 2010.
Hobgoblin probably come close, as I've seen different labels for Hallowe'en, and the Monsters of Rock, as well as the "default".

Here for rides.
There are 11 different sorts of Julens Ol downstairs. I can feel extensive testing coming on.
But thus far I have to say that my fave "supermarket" Danish beer is

I was feeling I under the weather so I paid a flying visit to a pub I rarely frequent. A proper boozer full of blokes, well on the way at 6o'clock. I had a bottle of Big Hug brewery, The Bears.

Nice tabletoppage. Hope you didn't end up under the weathered, Rich.
There was also a bloke going round selling watches - it was like an episode of Only Fools and Horses.

Well, I tried the Erdinger Dunkel last night. A wheat beer like ordinary Erdinger, but dark in colour, as the name suggests. To me, it tasted exactly the same as the normal Erdinger Weissbier. Possibly my palate has been rendered insensitive by years of drinking cheap Canadian rye (from Morrisons, sadly no longer available), but I've often thought that certain premium drinks no longer taste as good as they used to do. Where spirits are concerned, I tend to content myself with offerings from Lidl, Aldi and the like. I'd be greatly indebted to anyone who can tell me where in the north of England I can get hold of an Irish whiskey called Paddy. Distilled in Cork, it's widely available in Ireland, but the only place over here I've seen it is a filling station on the A40 a couple of miles past Narberth in Pembrokeshire. Should have stocked up when we lived down there.

Nice report but your thread is useless without O'Pictures Padraig.The creamy head, the frothy personality, the transparency and the ambience. You can post a picture of the beer too if you like.
Paddy can arrive via The Whisky Exchange twenty quid a bottle - although I would be pointing you at Connemara for preference. (Cask strength is out of stock but Amazon can help...)

Naughty lunchtime beer in waggawotsit.

Picked up a couple of beers up afterwards, looking forward to trying the Hamster of Doom , the chocolate stout is for Mrs 3BM.

My apologies. I was unaware of the beer thread protocol. The picture of that Paddy has given me a powerful thirst, I have to say. I seem to remember that, when I've bought it on the boat to Ireland years ago, in the duty-free days, it had a strength of 86 rather than 70. Not sure what strength they sold in Ireland, but I recall that the spirit measures were more generous. The ones here are daft. It would evaporate before you got it drunk.
