I’m having a Hook Norton Lion (a Pale Ale) later, along with some other as yet undecided other English brews: anyone else being patriotic today?

I went to a St Georges day beer festival this afternoon, very pleasant. Plenty of people around as well.

The White Horse, Banbury I would hazard a guess at? I was there last night for a Banbury CAMRA Beer Festival Planning meeting and saw all of the casks and beer list I was particularly interested in the From the Notebook Artic Tern but frustratingly arriving a day early I missed the chance to try, hmmpphhh... bad planning on Tims part to have the mtg the day before. To rub it in you appear to have rather enjoyed the Artic Tern as Loz would say PUMP!

I’ve just ticked some St George Brau beers from my backlog. Does that count?

By the way: my Hook Norton Lion might be a new brew, 4.4% ABV unlike the one listed (with no rates since 2011). Anyone want to chase it up? Their website says 4.2% ABV which is obviously wrong for my bottle.

King Cobra? Christ on a bike.

I’m enjoying a bland English supermarket ale in honour of my adopted country.

I wonder if they have this one at the Queen of Sheba in KentIsh Town?
