This one. It's in Stourbridge! I get ribbed a little on account of having moderately ginger tendencies - so I champion ginger beers ;D This one is really, really nice.

The Westerham Puddledock Porter was top notch at the Wat Tyler in Dartford on Saturday. There will be lots of beers (and ciders) to enoy at the Battersea Beer Festival this week. More info at: www.swlcamra.org.uk

I'll be there all evening. Having put half the beer up on the stillage, I'm looking forward to drinking some of it.

I do live only a few hundred yards from the Hogs Back Brewery, and can see it from my Garden, but don't think that clouds my judgement!! They do brew VERY GOOD Real Ales, That why I make TEA my king of Ales. HOP Garden Gold is also up with it, for a light coloured ale well worth a try but can leave you with a thirst in the morning!!

There was a Hog's Back stall in Sutton market not so long ago, and I had myself a free taster of something or other. The stallholder seemed quite surprised to see a lady who was that enthusiastic about real ale, and said, reaching under the table, "I've got something REALLY special here. Strongest ale in the South-East, this is."
He looked a bit deflated when I replied before he had the chance to take it out, "A over T, I presume? That's 9%, isn't it?"
;D

Hi Sal. Many apologies for my non-appearance at the Battersea Beer Festival this evening. I'm suffering from a bad cold/ chesty cough and I reckon bronchitis isn't far behind. Waiting on a train platform when all the trains are delayed isn't my cup of tea at the best of times, especially when I'm ill. I reckon Saturday is a non starter as well.
See you in a couple of weeks.
