Rainbow Boozer


Walking into town late last Sunday evening we noticed this rather odd rainbow effect on the side of a chimney stack on top of a local pub. It wasn't obvious what was casting the colours but the sun was very intense and there are a bunch of road signs (with reflective backgrounds) on the junction below, possibly the cause of this rather attractive lighting effect, either that or God is sending me a message telling me to drink more beer in this boozer, I think I should obey such a "sign", don't you?

Better than the original


Tried one of these at the weekend, one of Siren's 11th birthday celebration beers it's a spin on their house IPA "Lumina" except it's a lot hazier and also at 5.4% a bigger mouthfeel and a little richer and deeper in taste profile, I like it, better than the original IMO.

Monday Mirth


A spectacular piece of street art (in Aberdeen), what does it mean though? I reckon it represents all those people who voted for Brexit, i.e. they'll fall for anything.

Made it..


Spent the night in London on Thursday, managed to visit one of my checklist of  "must visit" pubs, The Lyric in Soho (see picture above). It's a proper London "stand-up" pub meaning there's not many seats and most people stand up (or stand outside) The selection of beers is very good, I opted for a couple of Siren brews (ironic since Siren is the local brewery to where I live in Berkshire) but they were perfectly on point, a decent boozer but loud and "standupy", don't say you weren't warned..

Load of Bull


Isn't it wierd what happens to Bull Rushes at this time of year, they seem to sprout "wool" that blows all over the place making it look like some sheep massacre has taken place!
