Last Out, First In

[RogerB]

And like Roger I'll be taking my thick head up to WHL later this afternoon and the first official (not counting the ones after the bongs went last night) beer of 2011 will be whatever is on in the John Gilpin's Bell ('spoons) on the High Road..

If I'd seen your post earlier I would have popped in! Did they still have the Redemption Hopspur on? Had a pint before the Newcastle game on Tuesday and it was superb.

my first drink today was a small bottle of Shepherd Neame 1698 strong ale.

Breakfast bottle was it Al?

Last pint of 2010 was actually a Guinness, preceeded by three pints of Marstons Christmas Pudding Ale. Apart from that I left NYE to the amatuers. First pint of 2011 was a Daleside Porter.

Started the Bush Noel 12% before midnight and finished it after. Saving the other 2 bottles for another time.

First one out today was Falstaff Father Time 4.3%, one of 8 we had in the Wellington before having a couple in the Anchor and a couple in the Lamp Tavern. Lots of good ales about today.

I would have been nice Rob but i was going to work.

I quite like having a breakfast bottle but this makes me think you probably do the same.

Very abstemious last night - a bottle of Hobgoblin sometime during the evening, and a large Drambuie followed by a large Benedictine around midnight. An uninspiring start to the New Year this afternoon - a half of Wandle in one pub, followed by a decent pint of Young's Winter Warmer in another. Getting stuck into a good bottle of red wine this evening though. Could be worse.

Last pint in 2010 was a gassy and eggy bottle of Jennings Snecklifter
First pint in 2011 was Downton Ruby Porter at the Nags Head earlier on this afternoon.

Yep , and the Urban Dusk as well. Stuck to the latter as I quite like the heavy malty taste. Was preety good and , as it turned out, a lot more exciting than that first half..

Finished a pint of Otter Brite at about 8pm and went home too a glass of red wine at midnight. This was regretted at 3am when I woke up with heartburn.
First pint was Wye Valley Bitter at about 2pm. Strange walking around the town on a Saturday and finding it deserted of people and cars.One Licencee had a bit of trouble and was assaulted and the Police were very much in evidence.
