Pretty darn bad, and I've got nothing against Eastern Europeans either, so maybe jonnyt and I can work something out.

...though he'll quickly discover we have our own highly divisive immigration issues. :)

In the meantime I figure: if you can't be British, brew British.

Which is why I'm concentrating on IPA hop bombs and Belgium Ales :)

I've actually got nothing against Eastern Europeans but do wonder why I continue to have to pay more and more tax as every year passes by.
At this rate I might as well vote for the Labour Party as even they would struggle to tax me as much.

I've just bought a keg of Ghost Ship (4.5%) for the same reason. Well, plus drinking it. I was going to get the bitter, but they were giving out free samples of Ghost Ship in the shop in Bloomsbury and it completely bowled me over. I love how it's immediately identifiable as an Adnams beer, even though it's brewed with a bunch of New World hops. It's that strange, almost metallic taste you get from the yeast.

Fresh off the van from Southwold, the chap told me, so hopefully the yeast'll be young and nubile.

Hope you get yours going, Seymour!

I understand it's winging its way over here as we speak. Good luck to you too!

I will ... but it'll have to wait, because I'm going to be force-feeding myself with the kegged stuff over the next few days, like a Strasbourg goose. The things we do for yeast!

I bought one of those Adnams jugs in the shop too. Well spotted -- they're really very nice. So is some of the other stuff in there. It was only by great force of will that I stopped myself buying the Adnams bucket, the Adnams dog's bowl, and set of six 'retro' Adnams mugs as well.

I couldn't justify getting two but who doesn't like a nice pair of jugs! :D
