Now a days I have to stick to Guiness - has the tendacy to make me sleeeepy before slightly 'nissed. :wink:

At home I love a couple or three of Hobgoblin as a treat! :lol:

Post by: MTyrrell on November 07, 2004, 21:34:19: My local gets in a selection of local brews problem problem it the land lord only gets a few kegs so when it's gone itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s gone although Black Sheep proved very popular he now has it on all the time. He's got 'Tangle Foot' on at the moment, as well as some others which I have yet to try (several pints just to make sure :D .) My favorite at the moment has to be 'Wobbly Bob'

I thought he'd been drinking speckled hen. 8)

Dunno why but I can't enjoy the bottled version.

So, Tim my good friend, which weekend in 2005 are you organising a trip round the brewery for Mud Club members, were is the nearest camp site and how much have I got to save???

Post by: muddyweb on November 08, 2004, 20:47:03: Funnily enough I have thought about doing that... if there is interest, I'd be happy to sort it.

Mrs Muddyweb knows the manager there from her previous job, so we could probably get a deal too.

Plenty of campsites and B&B in the immediate area.

Post by: muddyweb on November 08, 2004, 20:55:18: Incidentally, to make a proper day of it all, there is also the Royal Signals Museum which is quite interesting and an indoor kart circuit....

I think of everything you know ;-)

If you're interested let me know and we'll sample the water's togther hic !

Post by: Vam on November 08, 2004, 21:32:28: Hubby ears pricked up at the mere mention of brewery vists... So if there is something going on can we come please? :)

Talking of Scotland and the real stuff, would be good too! :wink:

Has anyone read Ian Banks 'In search of a we dram'
Steve's just read it, Ive started and there's a brilliant bit about Landrovers and the joy on them. He's obviously a real fan, mentioned them in passing In 'Dead Air'

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on November 08, 2004, 21:49:49: SWMBO used to have a thing for Theakstons 'Old Peculiar' http://www.theakstons.co.uk/ & Black Sheep Ales, 'RiggWelter' in particular http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/
Every drive out into the Yorkshire Dales meant that if we were calling for dinner/snack at a puib it had to provide one of these 2 fluids.

Nowadays she likes a drop of pure malt Whisky.
When we were on our way back from our 'Weekend In Whitby' I took her to Stamford Bridge (the one near York) & the whisky shop there.

http://community.webshots.com/album/183990813TbVrOF

I'd been in the shop before out of curiosity & was amazed by the variety of Whiskys on sale. The proprietor reckoned he'd got over 600 differant blends!
Some were over Ã‚Â£400 a bottle!! :shock:
She sampled, upon is kind offer, & I ended up buying her 2 bottle that came to about Ã‚Â£80.00!!!
One of them was almost Ã‚Â£60.00 by itself :shock: - that's standing in the bar not to be opened
Apparantly the cask was destroyed after contents were bottled, so the distinctive flavour won't be copied/diluted
