I popped down to our local Threshers yesterday evening,to stock up on cold lagers to knock back whilst watching the footie on TV –for some reason I find that I can either focus on the beer or on the footie,but not both,so usually quaff something undemanding when I’m watching footie!
While I was at Threshers I looked through their selection of bottled beers,which they tend to change fairly regularly. Needless to say,I succumbed to the lure of a few bottles –well their offer of 4 x 500ml bottles for £5.99 seems like a good deal. I got a couple of old favourites that I haven’t had for a while –Hook Norton Old Hooky and Wychwood Hobgoblin –and a couple that I don’t remember tasting before –Marston’s Firestoker and O’Hanlon’s Original Port Stout. I’ll be savouring these –and posting entries here –over the next few days.
