It's a bit more complicated than that...
M&S Southwold Christmas Ale, by Adnams. A little early but jolly good.

Mrs W says "why don't you go and put the empties in the bin on the train rather than leaving your empty beer bottle next to my seat?"

Although back in UK a final one from the Middle Kingdom

Extraordinarily shoot photo but this is a beer van (akin to a burger van) on the same street as the slightly dodgy bar I went to. Basically you get the same beer as in the bar only it costs £1.50 a bottle instead of £8 a bottle. As far as I'm aware there are no pole dancers at the beer van however. There are no licensing laws in China so basically if you want to buy a van, fill it with beer and park up and sell it, you can do. Capitalism rocks!

I had the worst hangover ever when I worked in Beijing years ago.

I had three pints on draught in the hotel before I went out properly.

The next day I was rough as....

One of the Chinese guys I was working with told me to stay off the draught because of the quality of water they used.

I wasn't sure how that could be true as the water must've been boiled at some point, still stuck to bottles for the rest of the week though.
 
Best the hotel down that London could offer, it wasn't bad and as it ran out I got the last 3/4 pint for free which made up, a bit, for the £5:50/pint cost!

Mattage is slack. Price isn't. I must do my property update...

I think that may actually have been the problem

I had a massive hangover in Xi'an last week. Caused by "going out properly". Then going back to the hotel. Then "going out properly" again
 
Anyway, here is a short Thursday Property Report on the progress of Camden's Daughter. (The nominators missed a trick there...I might have called it 'Winehouse') - soon to be everyone's favourite pub lite in Kentish Town (All the others are being hammered by business rates and regs. it seems...'two pints of Austerity please, and one for yourself bartender".)
"A Private Function tonight."
Everything is still under wraps, but there were signs of life. Interesting idea for the kebab shop to be within the pub - makes for a short walk!

A bit too shabby around the tap area (aren't we all these days...) but that will come into line no doubt. Not ouvert at time of writing...I'll pop down this after, and see what's goin' down. ( Hopefully a) the beer and b) the prices.)
