Apologies for my recent silence. A trip to Russia and the fact my house is being torn to bits by builders, has precluded me from writing. Oh and my shoulder is still sore, thanks for asking.
The removal of a wall cabinet in what used to be my kitchen (I think) turned up these beauties. I rather thought (OK I know) I had a bottle of Bass No1 in there too, but before I accuse the building lads of supping or breaking it, I'd need to check through a million things that have been put elsewhere. One doesn't half tend to accumulate junk over the years though. This morning I've "enjoyed" reading through old love letters from my first real girlfriend - nothing mucky at all really - to my immense disappointment and loads of stuff about the National Insurance Act of 1975, which was a big thing in er, 1975 when I worked in, wait for it, National Insurance. I had lovely handwriting too in those days.
Anyway, a picture tells a thousand words, so without real comment, here it is. We have a photo of some old ales which are both old and strong and some which are old and aren't old or strong, but are indeed strong and old. All are in nips.
What's in a beer name?
You can see the skip in the background. Also have rediscovered many other bottles and glasses. Might show them soon too. Saves thinking anything up.
