An enjoyable shift at a wet Aintree racecourse today.

In two months time Christmas will be over so I'd better get cracking. These beers are to be drunk tonight.
Three Belgian Christmas beers.

Indeed. The clock in my car will tell the correct time tomorrow for the first time in six months.

I couldn't see your photos because they are 'adult content.' 🤣

I've had to verify my account.

Co-Op Live, next to the Etihad in Manchester works. After a recent sell-out concert, short walk to the tram and back in the city centre in less than 15 minutes.

No. 3 Horninglow is a double hopped IPA brewed in 2020 by Marston's. It's an English style IPA, which is to my taste. It's really very good, I wish I had some more bottles.
However, it may well be the final Marston's beer I ever drink because I really dislike their brewery closure policy.

I normally go out drinking on Sunday afternoons but I'm working at Aintree. A few Xmas beers are planned for the evening and one will be a Stille Nacht.

It will be. I've still got a decent hoard that I dip into occasionally.

Can you still get barrel aged versions in the U.S.? A friend gave me some about 10 years ago. They've never been available in the U.K.
Also, Harvest Ale should be bottle conditioned.

They are using it in an ad for one of those supposed Italian lagers brewed in Tadcaster/Manchester/Northampton whatever.

Humphrey Smith visits his pubs incognito. If he spots thst the rules aren't enforced his been known to sack the staff and/or close the pub. Really. I believe his grandson, who lives in the 21st century, runs the London pubs.
