I was in a bar near st James park station in London yesterday and noticed an arkells beer on tap called inch of ginge. Thought it odd to see an Arkells beer in the capital.

Au contraire, Arkells has always travelled up to London. Many years ago when I lived in London, I had a brierf dalliance, with a bird who lived in Shepperton, her local was an interesting pub, frequented by people who worked in the TV/film industry at Shepperton studios.

Although in the mid 70's, it was reduced in size from its heyday, it still churned out some impressive stuff. 

This lot loved their Arkells, which was on tap, made me smile, not sure if it was an Arkells pub, or just a guest. They were not so much luvvies, but the place still had a great display of film memorabilia round the walls.

It should be noted that the mid 70's, was a time when real ale had shrunk to reletively few breweries of which Arkells was one...and so was viewed as somewhat exotic.

Indeed, Arkells has long had a strong presence in West - South West London.

Fluck off.  Neither was it ex Park girl Lindy St Clair, who later achieved celebrity as Miss Whiplash, administering discipline to Tory MP's and High Court judges in the basement she rented in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's gaff.

Tory MP's and dominatrix, have always been bedfellows, see John Whittingdale.

Last night, in a pub in Winchester, I tried an IPA called Red Cat C60.. Anyone tried this? 6% with MASSIVE flavour.

First sip was very strong, but really really nice as it goes on.

New Bierkeller in Taunton opening in 2 weeks, looks interesting although extremely pricey for what you get, but that seems to be the way with Bierkellers in general.

A stein of Erdinger Dunkel is £9.95 and a 330ml bottle of Houblon Chouffe 9% (one of my fave beers) is £7.50 Shocked

I will visit and see when its open but I won't visit often with those prices.

My 2016 New Years resolution to try as many different beers as possible has been going well. I think this is possibly my new favourite...



Discovered some lovely beers in Norway from Nøgne Ø, Ægir and Haandbryggeriet.

It will be one of those "craft" beer places (aka "Reasonable homebrew at eyewatering prices"), and you won't be allowed in unless you've got a twatty haircut, trousers that don't merit the luxury of actually getting near your ankles and a beard that Edward Lear would double take at. 10 quid for a pint? Fuck off.
