Thankyou Santa

Well,Santa came on Christmas Eve,and left me quite a lot of beer-related presents.  A Wychwood T-shirt declaring “British Beer Needs You”,plus a voucher for a tour of the Wychwood Brewery,an Old Speckled Hen pack with a bottle plus a very nice pint glass,a selection of beers from Broughton Ales - a brewery I had not previously heard of,a copy of Pete Brown’s book Three Sheets To The Wind:One Man’s Quest For The Meaning Of Beer,and a couple of bottles of Farmer’s Plough plus a pint glass from Bradfield Brewery which is a few miles from my home town of Stocksbridge in South Yorkshire.

It looks like I’m going to have plenty to write about in the coming weeks.
