At last! A pint.

After much procrastination and timewasting, I managed to drag Addie out. Just for one, mind; but finally we're off. Addie thinks a trip to an occasional hostelry with house beers is in order, but in fact it's on the way to the station. He'd probably rather have one on his own in the station bar, demonstrating that, at £4.50 a pint, he earns too much.

So, immediately we're there the bickering begins. We should have different beers to give you a broad outlook, but Addie just has to copy. Two pints, from one pump.

So here it is. Worthington's Red Shield. 4.2%. It looks a bit like a lager, but it's thicker and has no fizz to speak of. It reminds me very much of the types of Belgian flowery beers you sometimes encounter, such as Leffe. It's good though and a pint slips down easily. A nice time was had by all, and I give it a comfortable 7 out of 10. I'm a harsh judge, so that's a good score.

Then it's over, and trains beckon. Here's a picture of the pump. Addie has a shot of the pint itself, if he's not too busy in the station bar to post it...
