Oh If Only There Was More Time

Having been working hard, unlike Siddie, I hadn't got round to writjng about our last outing, so here it is.

It was last Friday we went for a break. I'd had 1 hours sleep (thank you work) and was slightly tired - these things shouldn't stop a trip in the rain.

The first was 'Not Euro Fizz' by Aylesbury 4.5%. Slight yeasty smell, with hops. No great flavour slightly sour, dry, drinkable ale. The badge indicated it was 'like a pilsner'. I was too dark, not fizzy enough, bit did have the hints of this about it.

The second was Colchester number 1 by Colchester brewery 4.1%. Beer with a standard taste nothing special, but it was definitely beer.

Whilst we were at the local we discussed the Great British Beer Festival. For those who don't know about this, the Camaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) get circa 800 beers all in one place at a time, and you wander round drinking them. Never managed to try all of the beers, but I try. Then you eat pork pies and pork scratchings just before you fall asleep on the train and miss you stop on the way home. It's a great evening.

Since neither Siddie or I are the bosses at home, we will be seeking permission from our other halves, and with luck, drinking lots of different beers on 9th August.
