Some good ales on in the Turnpike at the festival. Some good Hook Norton stuff but I stuck with the Ruddles as a quaffing pint but did sneak in a pint of Speckled Hen and very palatable it was too.

Good excuse to arrive home late because there was a sale on

I tried the Fremlins in The Paper Moon and it certainly didn't taste how I remembered it. It was very bland.

Hyde's Over A Barrel wasn't to my taste but the Goose Island Honker's Ale was very nice as was the Theakston's Grouse Beater.

I'm looking forward to the Mild In May celebration. I do like a drop of mild ale.

Is there a competition for who can come up with the most stupid name for a beer?

I did some work for Young's once and they were so grateful that I was offered a guided tour of the brewery.

At the time, they were bringing out a special strong export ale and had a competition within the workforce for the best name for it.

The winning entry; "Young's Special Export Ale".

I think it's the same brew as what is now called Young's Special London Ale.

I usually find that if a beer has a stupid name then it's invariably crap.

Paid a visit last night and the the St peter's old style porter was very pallatable.

I did however give a miss to the Caledonian Old Seadog for fear of setting off another volley of questions from Chelwing re silly names

I can't say I've liked any of the Caledonian Ales.

I've had the St Peter's porter before and agree, it's a nice pint.

I'm having a visit to the Whitstable brewery soon so will definately be sampling their Oyster Stout. One of the nicest beers I've ever had.

A volley of questions there was only one. Perhaps you should go straight home after a hard days digging.

Here's a poser for you JGFC.

If you had 20 people in the same room. what's the odds on two of them sharing the same birthday?

How about this one Alan. My late mother was born on 17th February. When I moved into my flat the chap next door celebrated his birthday on 17 February. Finally this year my little grandaughter (and hopefully future Welling fan) was born on 17th February.
 Anyway back to Beer. I have booked a few travelodge £9 a night deals. Anyone sugest good beers in Redditch, York and Canterbury?

In answer to the question, "If you had 20 people in the same room. what's the odds on two of them sharing the same birthday?"

The answer is: - Odds on. Sounds hard to believe but do the maths and it's true. 

Ventured out to Rochester, Dartford and Welling yesterday and had a few of the festival beers.

Jenning's Stickle Pike. Not bad.

Otter Mild. Very nice.

Bulldog Brown Ale. Very nice.

Maui Coconut Porter. Different, very different. I enjoyed it but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Goose Island Honker's Ale. Had this before and really liked it.

Best pint though was a pint of Young's Bitter in The Malt House. Bloody expensive though. I don't know how they survive with the Wetherspoons a short walk away. Nice pub though and the food looked good.

Slept like a baby (woke up screaming three times and sh*t myself).

Real shame about the Fremlins. It used to be a good pint. Tusker was a really nice pint but it's 20 years since I had a pint of that.
