Apart from the bitching about gastropubs, I do love my local a bit. But they've made a big thing of advertising that they have four, count 'em, four ales in- and the best one is Broadside. At 3.80 a pint. I want to weep

I must be adopted, because they are all f**king insane.(And I am lovely as we all know...)
Shades of Lizzie Borden. Do you actually have an axe?
Just saw Beat the Frog in Leeds is advertising £1.70 a pint.

No. But if they keep at it I shall be sending them a strongly worded post-it.
To my horror I've just learned that Son 1 watched the progression of the Olympic torch today. he must be a changeling.

Oooh - but Broadside is lovely you know. Not at £3.80 a pint though. You must live in a really posh part of town.

Broadside is alright, but not the star of a promotion. And this part of North London has an incredibly inflated sense of self-importance. And I have quite a gullible-looking face

I would say Broadside is the best beer I've tasted with Hobgoblin - which I've had a couple of today - coming a close second.

Hobgoblin! What a wondeful name.

Disown, strike out of will, never allow him in your house again.
He's been got at by the spawn of Satan.
Don't even look into his eyes.
Make sure you have mirrors everywhere.
Agree with all that. Trouble is I love him.

I just had a can of that at home, it's made at Wychwood Brewery.
A very nice beer.
AJGO, beer at The Coronet is £2.45 per pint.

You cannot, must not !
He's been taken by the Dark Side.
He's merely a husk of himself !
Give him a slice of garlic bread and see what happens !
In spite of all my teaching, he loves garlic bread.

Really?! I had a lovely pint at BCG drinks a wee while ago and I can't remember what it was called. I'm clearly not cut out to be a proper ale geek.
And my memory has gone shocking lately, and I don't know why, or if I did, I've forgotten. I've always been a bit daft and wandered into rooms and not remembered why, but in the last month or so it's taking me ages to recall things I know that I know. Today someone did the 'an andbag' thing at my handbag, and twenty-ish minutes later in the middle of another conversation I exclaimed 'Bracknell!

Because you have to drink in the Coronet. Do you not feel really weird being in that large a space with no filler noise? I do usually hate background music in pubs, but that place really needs something to help with the ghostliness
