    Normally I give my vouchers away (to someone who enjoys JDW) but even when I drag myself into one ,or dragged in kicking and screaming ,I never remember to use the things anyway.

    Default Spring Festival 2015

    The list for the Spring Festival which starts on Friday 13th March can now be found by double clicking the banner on the JDW home page.
    Unfortunately it doesn't say where the foreign beers are brewed one of which is an Irish Stout from Ireland. There are two beers calld Boadicea one by Sheps and the orher by RCH. I don't know what that's all about as I always thought the old battleaxe's stomping ground was East Anglia.

    I never drink in a 'spoons, so this doesn't really concern me, but what is the point of bringing in "real ale" from the colonies? This country can't do much, if anything now, but one thing we can do is produce damn fine beer.
    Boadacea is a grand new hop cultivar: I think the pedantic historians call the wheelbarrow borne battle axe "Boudicca". Anyway, she's buried under platform 9 of King's Cross.

    It's not the colonies, it's all over the place and they import the brewer (or at least claim to) rather than the beer and make it at one of the large regionals. They also do a continuing range of International beers outside the festivals, around two a month. I was amazed to recently find a Spanish beer brewed at Adnam's was excellent.

    Don't necessarily believe me-my archeological stepson doesn't!,but it's a good tale.
