...I don't have much idea - really.

Nickyboy's intercontinental musings notwithstanding, Thursday's Property Update Section brings readers once again to the centre of the universe aka Londres...Kentish Town to be precise.
Camden Town Brewery have nearly opened their hostelry. A great deal of brainstorming has gone into the name, obviously.

And, just up the road, toward the station is this youngster of an eaterie. Not muesli and carrot-centric, but offers beers at seemingly 'cough' prices. What do the panel think? Of price and/or variety.

And, finally, in the other direction, toward the glam of Camden Town, there is this interesting little shop...sprouting from a rough and ready stretch of real estate to the South end of K Town. Not had time to investigate yet. I think they do big bidons of beard elixir, as well as a range to suit the bathroom shelf.

I could do with a beer now.

I continue to live it up over half term, with a solo trip to the pub tonight.

Smokeless (Red Willow 5.7%)
A porter, infused with chipotle chillies. Not as goofy as it sounds this - the smokey porterishness is present and correct, with the chipotle flavours detectable, and their heat coming through into the flavour. I don't think I'd drink a full pint of this, but a half by a roaring fire on a frosty evening would be just the ticket.

Clwyd Gold (Facers 3.5%)
I realise now that I mistook this for Bragdy Conwy's Clogwyn Gold. Whereas I quite like the latter, I found Clwyd Gold a bit thin. There's possibly a case to be made for it being a session brew, but there's fuller flavoured options out there.

Pint (Marble Brewery, 3.9%)
Really lovely, and quite a traditional taste. Malt up front, with a little bitter hop towards the end. Like the bitter you remember from the pub renowned for keeping their beer well. Lovely stuff.

Day two in Fragrant Harbour

Went for a modest sesh. The Paulaner rep has done sterling work here in HK. Available on draught in quite a few bars. I had a few Dunkels and jolly nice it was too

After dinner onto another beery bar with a rather bewildering array of premium bottled stuff (at premium prices it has to be said). I hadn't much of a clue so I just chose one with a nice sounding name; Founders Centennial IPA. Ratebeer reckons it's top drawer. More sock drawer from my point of view. Just so hoppy to the exclusion of anything else. Not me.

Marble do some quality beers-I enjoyed their Earl Grey infused IPA at the Grasmere Guzzler recently:cheers:.
