Dark Ale at its best...

My Saturday afternoon's in Winter are often spent standing around in large groups cheering and shouting, braving the wind and rain. And consistently questioning the parentage of the "men in white". Win, loose or draw - an afternoon on a hill should be followed by a cleansing ale...

My cleansing ale of choice is the Moo Brew Dark, it is the sort of ale that lingers in the back of your head with its roastiness and toastiness. There's nothing better than standing in front of an open fire discussing the big issues of the day, possesions, marks, and hard ball gets!

The glazed brick fireplace mantle is at just the right height to lean one elbow on and speculate about the potential of your team in September, and an upcoming children's birthday which is becoming more daunting than a dentist appointment. I do not advocate the use of alcohol to solve problems, but life seems a little nicer with a 'fresh as a daisy' Moo dark in your mits.

Ouch! Hot Denim! Hot Denim! Turn - Swap sides - baste. Continue roasting until juices run clear...

"Beer Nerd"...

"Beer Nerds" are like hairy legged insects, you know they're around but you just don't try and think of it.

I am a Beer nerd, there I said!

Now you know, we can get on with it. If you too are keen on beer then...



One of the best beer blogs I 've read is Stonch's beer blog http://stonch.blogspot.com/

If you are planning on going to the UK this is good place to start, Pub good - Pub Bad.

or better yet...

Get to The Wheatsheaf Hotel at George St. Thebarton.




See you there!
