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.
