I had to ask the barman for a Deep Shaft last night. Wasn't even a Royal Wedding beer.
and to think I thought Hambleton's Hoof Hearted was a bit dodgy to ask for
Gosh, just wait till someone names a beer "kinda lingers" after the final song in the final "Not the Nine O'Clock News"
I'm another one who's boycotting any royal wedding related products - I passed on the Skinner's Kate Loves Willy yesterday. (Shame, as I like their beers, and anything with a double entendre in the name is usually a bonus.)
Happily at least three pubs on my doorstep have already declared Friday to be a 'Wedding Free Zone', so a decent crawl without being forced to suffer any of this irrelevant tosh is on the cards.
And you can really taste the hops!

Lucky you, my local has gone for full works, opening early, face painting, bouncy castle etc
Because it easily in walking distance, and does promise bacon butties, I will no doubt go there for a couple of pints at lunchtime, much as I would love to avoid the whole thing
Saw something from the Tring Brewery at the weekend called The Royale We, not sure what it tasted like
I've just joined Alcoholics Anonymous - I still drink, just under a different name.
I have not tried any of the royal special Beers as Ive not seen anything out of the ordernary. Now Im working on duty for the next Nine Days so I wont get the chance too try any even if I wanted too.
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
Just had a perusal of the Bexley Beer Festival (starts tomorrow) beer list and of the 65 ales mentioned, 20 are Wedding related beers (although I have included Tipples Redhead and Skinners Ginger Tosser for my own amusement). There are 4 breweries (Elgood, Goddards, Springhead and Windsor & Eton) that have all come up with a beer named Windsor Knot. Things could get messy.
