It was a matter of some sadness to me that, as an opportunity presents itself for some proper research, I have to be good due to the need to drive later. So I went out early with Addie and some other lushes... erm, I mean pals, and nursed just one in the interests of serving you, our faithful readership.
Addie, meanwhile, was set fair for a session, and he'll supply you with the images of the pumps later. Addie is revelling in the slightly mad activity of photographing the pump every time he orders a pint, and the barman at our local is beginning to think we've all gone a bit nuts. He must be a sherry man.
So this will be a much more sober post from me than Addie will manage. Not that you'll be able to tell the difference, given the mindless, typo ridden mumbo jumbo that issues forth from his keyboard. Sobriety doesn't seem to be a factor.
So, today's pint was from the Hog's Back brewery. It's called Spring Ale and comes in at a gentle 4%. It was light and quite lagery, and very much reminded me of the tins of Shandy Bass you used to have when you were a child. Hog's Back can always be relied on to be solid in the taste department, so there were no nasties in the finish. Decent and drinkable, picture below. 7/10.
I'm guessing Addie may have had about three pints before he gets to work, so there's a fair chance his work will be to an even higher standard than usual (not). This isn't a kid's story blog, so let's not have any more nonsense about the three bears. Spellcheck won't save you.
