new beer

[hondo]

I'm happy with Old Tom as an accompaniment for chicken, steak, curry, lamb, pork, horsemeat, goulash, shepherds pie, rhubarb crumble, Sunday Roast, cheese on toast, fish fingers, bread and dropping, pot noodles, peanuts, tripe and onion souffle ..............................

Not sure about bread and dropping

I encountered a new one for me yesterday, a couple of beers brewed by A Head in a Hat , an offshoot of the Florence Brewery in S. London. All their brews are from recipes of beers from times past.

What's the difference between a 500ml "share can" and any other 500ml can?? Sounds like more idiotic rubbish from a marketing department to me.

Maybe it doesn't have a ring pull so you have to use the pointy end of a bottle opener to punch two holes in the top - another revival from the old days? Then you drink from one side, the other bloke (who will also be an old tramp if it's 9% Kestrel) from the other?

In the new series about the NHS last night one of the patients was in a bad way, insisted on going outside for a smoke and natter to his 'friends'. When he got back he had tried to smuggle in a lovely (to him) tin of - you've guessed it - Kestrel lager.
