Might have been something like that Mat, too many high boost keg beers for my delicate palate was the real reason. I still like to drink at 3.8%ABV pace no matter what the drink in front of me is: hence why I get into a ’state’ sometimes when at tastings.

The Grundion has run a piece about Birmingham Craft Beer Bars on the run up to this years Birmingham Beer Bash. Nice of them really, but to my mind a bit of an odd list.
http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/jul/21/top-10-craft-beer-pubs-in-birmingham
Their top 10 are (just in case you don’t want to read through it) :-
Barton Arms
Purecraft Bar & Kitchen. They mean Pure Bar & Kitchen!
Post Office Vaults
Botanist (I’m going to have to take a look there now)
Cherry Reds
Craven Arms
Victoria
Lamp Tavern (Really? For Craft Beer?)
Anchor
Spotted Dog

I’m not sure that he knows his subject too well, more a scout round some decent, mostly, pubs.

Sorry I cannot be there this weekend.

Don’t think any journalist could find 10 craft beer bars in Birmingham, strange that Brew Dog isn’t on the list.

Yes, The Brew Dog looks like a glaring error and maybe The Lord Clifdon and Woodman above a few of these.
