Beer

Also to be found around the website there is some information on beer, the only liquid to pass my lips in a pub. I DO NOT scoop, tick or whatever the sad brigade get up to. But every now and again, I order a beer that sends me into hop heaven so find a space to promote the beer, particularly those from small independent breweries.
