I might have to try that. I'm a huge fan of their Green Gecko

Huge fans are always welcome in this weather - along with spoons.

That's actually the one I'd hoped to buy on this trip - no sign of it in the shop though.

Golden Sheep (Black Sheep Brewery, 4.7% abv)
I thought that I should have a summery beer, so bought this. On reflection, I think I'd have been happier with a couple of bottles of the regular Black Sheep offering, which I like very much.
This is mostly biscuity with a bit of toffee, and some bitter hop that emerges late in the taste and lingers into the aftertaste. It all seems a bit meh though - on the light side, but too high an abv to be a session, and not really dry enough to be refreshing. Not terrible, but there are lots of things I like better out there.
Mrs M is still on the Guinness.

Even though I'm on call, today requires a bottle of chilled Proper Job!!!!

For the purposes of full disclosure, it actually required 4 bottles of chilled Proper Job. I can confirm that an hour in the freezer does Proper Job no harm at all and makes for a very refreshing drink (if you can drink it before it gets warm again!!)

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I should think that you had a good rest, in peace, after that one.

Micro brewery falls foul of mass marketing! Missa pro priation perhaps?
Franz von beer Suppé drank a good Requiem in his day, and Rich gives birth to a word to celebrate the passing of a pint. (quiet day at work...)

Cwrw Fforest (Mantle Brewery, 4% abv)
Pictured left, this, despite purporting to be made from trees, is a pleasant hoppy pale. Just the ticket for accompanying one of Fforest's pizzas, while eating out by the Teifi.
It would probably be marvellous in other situations too.
Double Dragon (Felinfoel, 4.2% abv)
This is rather nice - slightly fruity, perhaps apple-ish, with a bit of biscuit and nut, and balanced nicely with some bitter hops that linger into the aftertaste. An apple crumble of a beer, unless I have gone completely mad, and I enjoyed it for its novelty.
Mrs M has switched to wine.

Our younger selves would be rolling their eyes at us JtM!
