    Yup. I like Black Sheep, especially when it's served at The Duke.

    Probably because its drinkers were killed off by it being served in such gigantic glasses!

    It was on at The Pembroke during our crawl, maybe still, so if you're out that way...

    Still it's their choice and they'll never convince me to limit the range of what I drink.
    I don't know of anyone, blogger or otherwise, whose aim is to get someone to limit the extent of their experience of different styles. I think you're confusing them with advertising!

    Oh I can think of several who would be quite pleased if the beer landscape was the same as the 1970s and dearly want the rest of us to agree with them.

    If you're including Mudgie in that , I've had him in BrewDog before now on the Elvis Juice. Not sure he will repeat the experience though.

    Loughborough tmw on the £15rtn EMR deal, a couple of targets mentioned Bass and certainly one of the company will be delighted if that's the case.

    That's akin to asking me to participate in the production of a selfie!
    I do have a mobile phone but it doesn't take pictures or support "apps".
    It annoys me intensely when so many organisations assume you have one and that it is "smart". I've only got a mobile phone because I inherited it after my father passed away. !

    I'm probably in some sort of bubble but I'm not sure what it is!
    BBBs are currently unfashionable but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of good ones around. The problem is that there is one very poor dominant one that with marketing stunts has come to dominate the market. Sadly marketing and advertising seems to influence enough gullible people to make it worthwhile.

    Certainly is!
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
