The barman knew everyone by name and the local vicar even stopped in for a couple after the sermon. There was even cheese and crackers supplied and Camra flyers everywhere.

Hey david, yeah the Monks was a bit too cold, but as we were working our way thru about 12 guest beers that night I couldnt get all the right beers on the correct temperature lines, so sorry about that mate.
What am I drinking?? Well....
Stone & Wood, Armageddon Epic Journey, Croucher Pilsner, Tuatara IPA, Rogers Reserve, Dux Pinot barrel porter, Emersons Bourbon Porter 2008......
My American Cream ale, im so happy with it ive decided to make it a house beer! Or at least variations of it... Hopped lightly with Nugget, Amarillo, and Cascade Next time will probably sub cascade for simcoe or centennial...
