So many questions.....so few answers......but strangely compelling.
I buy most of my wine at Majestic but never any of their beers. Their selection of 'craft' beers is abysmally small and limited largely to a few US obvious ones, a few others and Vedett. Today I mentioned that they were missing a trick as I spend at least as much on beer as wine but not a penny in their store.
The manager defended the width of their selection which I explained was pretty skimpy in truth. They also only sell in 6s or more whereas I like to buy one or two of various types which adds to the fun and serendipity of it all.
He came round in the end and said he'd bring it up at their next regional meeting - I'm sure nothing will come of it!
He did however give me a few free samples !

I just braved the rain to pop down to the local offie for some supplies and they had a small table handing out freebies. It's from a very local micro-brewery in my road.
Pretty fine citrus APA and a hoppy golden pale ale @ 5.2% and 4.2% respectively. It hard to get less beer miles apart from home brew!

Our lass bought some of these from Sainsbury's as they were cheap, she doesn't like them, but I've definitely drunk worse, two more to neck and then back to the cider.

i was thinking of putting a brew on tomorrow. Even better (well maybe) than bringing you some beer, maybe I could brew something for the occasion. What do you fancy? It can't be anything too exotic given time, but I could make a pale ale which could be more on the US sideor something a bit more English.

Gin and beer cocktail.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
@User as well.
I'm straight down the line trad English or Belgian. Unfortunately I think the ideal beer will be contingent on the weather, which I guess could be anything from torrential autumnal rain (barley wine or strong mild) to glorious Indian summer (cold blonde or biere blanche).
I have visions of a bike with a pedal-powered fridge attached to the back keeping pack with the Fridays' peleton through the Netherlands, pausing only to top up bidons.

I haven't had that for a while. It was the first proper beer I drank regularly, at the King's Bed and Hell in Abingdon (paging @Fab Foodie!)This popped up on my FB feed today - my favourite beer
I seem to remember that while we were waiting for A-level results a 17-year-old srw and a friend (who was 18 by then) went to the pub to be served by someone we'd been at school with who was younger than me.
