Addie was not firing on all cylinders today. He'd been up all night working (anyone else would have got it done in an hour or so, but not Addie, the heroic martyr that he is). As a result of one hour of sleep, he sat with his pint, zombie-like, not really actively participating except for the occasional sip from his glass. Even Mr Windy's random Guinness (see elsewhere) couldn't rouse him, and I'm not sure how he will assess today's beer as he surely can't really have tasted it. He was about as much fun as one of his blog posts (so more of an ordeal really).
The ale itself cheered me up. A very pleasant beer, 4.2% Pale Ale from Sambrook's Brewery, a good local London brew. Seven out of ten. Light and hoppy and very drinkable, we had a second pint of it as it went down well. And I wanted to extend our time in our local hostelry as Addie was being such fun. If he ever wakes up, he has a picture of the pint; luckily I took charge of photographing the pump.
So, Addie, what have you learned today? Important lesson; fall asleep on the pub table, wake up with a sticky face. Beer law; unchanged throughout the aeons of beer drinking that have passed in human history. Pay attention next time or I'll order you a Southern Comfort and Seven Up.
