One of our favourite beers from last year was called "Yu Lu" from our local Brewer Siren over in Finchampstead. It's a lovely pale ale, almost lager-like, made with fruity American hops with an addition of Earl-Grey tea which gives it a certain familiarity and curiosity, and at only 3.6% ABV it's very drinkable, especially on a warm day. It's the go-to beer for all the Women in our little crowd. Apparently though this name isn't unique, there's a theoretical physicist (and quite a famous one) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing called professor Yu Lu!
Here he is holding up a "Yu Lu" beer mat, lucky man, I bet he'd get a free one if he turned up at the Tap Yard in Finchampstead.. :)
