There’s a good micro pub called Hail to the Ale on the outskirts of Wolverhampton. Excellent selection of scratchings.

On my proprietary diluted Rothaus Pils / Störtebeker Freibier 3.7% session lager. The new labels (retro?) make not much of a difference.

The hopped cider is ok. Needs more hops, but it’s from a uk supermarket. Although it’s a new one from Aston Manor, I reckon the mayor might want one!

The M&S Belgian lager is crap. Not a patch on a Eastern Euro lager.

Eurostar are doing from £29 each way to Brussels again. Even on a Saturday. I could do a return on Saturday 21st January for £58 from Ashford to Brussels.
In fact I am seriously thinking of buying that right now. My flat to sitting in Cantillon in 2 hours 15 minutes. Bit of a no brainer.

Rated that bad boy out the can at 6am at Liton airport. Wasn’t that struck.

Great they have expanded so far. I love them. The local cider selection in the East Kent ones has been a great boon this summer. If you want something cold, tasty and thirst quenching, the low tax on small cider producers means I can buy a 35 pint bag in a box including delivery from East Stour cidery for less than £50. It’s just I’m not sure I could drink 5 pints of cider every day for 7 days before it went off. Hmmmm. Perhaps I could?

Difficult to get too by all accounts: never made it yet. Did not know about the Scratching selection, but not keen on Morton’s beers, which I believe they major on (I am the top raters of Morton’s beers).

right, time for me to retire as brewing early tomorrow morning before a lunchtime session here.

A pint of No. 7 Gadds for £2.50 fresh from the brewery. Awesome.

Thanks to Jeremy for organising this evening and to all the contributors.

Drink Orval.

I drove there. It does seem a pain on public transport. One Mortons and two guests plus a cider when I went. I think you’d love it if you can make it. Proper pub feel to it.
