OK, it's a given that we all like a beer, but sometimes it will taste like nectar, truly heaven sent. At certain times that pint glass is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. I guess for many of us it's after some sort of physical activity, or the first one at the end of a hectic working week. Maybe your team's just won at home?

For me, nothing beats that first pint after a day's walking in The Dales. Two large gulps to clear the back of my throat, a brief pause to wipe salt encrusted lips, then the hops start to kick in, three or four more mouthfuls and it's gone . Marvellous.

Over to you.
