speaking of Thwaites, i had a half of Champion Mild tonight (its Mild month BTW for those who weren't aware) very nice, bit more depth to taste/aroma wouldn't go amiss tho' IMO
we're off out for a bit of a real ale session tonight, so hopefully they will have some nice milds on, is the Northampton Beer festival this weekend, so hopefully will be partaking in one or two good pints

Yeah I'm pretty close. They don't do such a great selection these days as they used to. They used to have 6 on the pumps and 3 casks behind the bar.
May see you around, will give you a flash if I see your Yaris.
as well as the Pepys (will pop in when i'm in the area next, just to see whats what!) the Market Inn is also another good Real Ale pub in central Huntingdon IMO, usually have well kept Potbelly Beijing Black which is always a damn fine pint! May see you around, will give you a flash if I see your Yaris.
will have to keep an eye out for you too then!

A couple of pints on the table out the back with Zep on the Jukebox. Fond memories with friends passed on.
Not been in there recently though, may have to revisit!

that was all Simon drank, didn't turn up till late....and yes its strong, 9%
He'd love Belguim, we were over there last year and went to a cafe for afternoon tea (typical English abroad) I left it with Mrs Beer to organise as I went outside to find seats to aviod the chain-smoking staff inside and we ended up with a bottle of Castle each - 11%Moral: never send Mrs Beer to the bar even in a cafe

Triple and Double Trappist beers sure are tasty but strong. After 2 or 3 it's done over here 
You Brits drink White beers? A bit sour and excellent when the weather is hot.
Anyways, I'll soon find out as I am in London 10/11th June . . . Cheers!
You see that is why you do not get the binge drinking problems over there - three Trappists and your nicely happy and ready to not move anywhere fast You Brits drink White beers? A bit sour and excellent when the weather is hot.

White beers like Hoegaarden? They are not that popular unfortunately but try and get to a decent ale house whilst your here rather then somewhere that just serves mainstream lagers
Here's a new site for those of you in the Lincolnshire Area, have a look and join in on the forum if you like.
