Morrison’s Bottled Beer Deals Update 2
Jul 27th, 2009 |
** Please note this post has been superseded by Morrisons Beer Offers – September Update **
Wychwood Hobgoblin has now joined the ranks of the £1 per bottle deals at our local Morrison’s. There are big empty gaps where some of the other beers in the offer were.
The Hobgoblin is a dark and malty bitter – on the strong side at 5.2%. I find the taste OK, but I wouldn’t want to drink a lot of it.
The Brains SA is not on special offer but I haven’t seen the ‘normal’ SA at Morrison’s before – they do normally carry the young upstart SA Gold. Mmm, perhaps someone made a mistake and ordered the wrong stuff…
Now I do have a soft spot for Brain’s beer having been at university in Cardiff many years ago so I leaped on this one. The aroma is unmistakably Brain’s but the lively nature of this bottled beer seems at odds with the smoother, subtler consistency of the draught version.

Clerkenwell to Angel to Old Street
Jul 23rd, 2009 |
Before I get started on the Winchester trip which happened last night I wanted to finish this one and get it out.
Last week, Jon and I had a strung out pub crawl in London to take in a few places new to us and two of our favourites. It involved more walking than crawls we normally do but it was worth it. Clerkenwell to Angel to Old Street: Read the full post »

Wykeham Arms, Winchester
I’m planning a trip to Winchester tomorrow evening with a like-minded friend. It’s going to be a lightning raid – similar to my recent trip to Brighton. But the question is which pubs to visit in one evening?

I was out in Clerkenwell/Angel/Old Street the other night with a friend and we popped into the Wenlock Arms off City Road for a while. I got very excited when I noticed they had Brain’s Dark on draught.
