24 today!

Photograpy by Brian Westcott.

As some of may know I have now reached the grand old age of 24. In celebration of this I will be heading off with some mates to no where other than the John Bull in Alnwick where I shall hopefully discover some quality cask ales or if not so hunt out some of the prestigious bottled Belgian ales I have not yet tried. Considering the John Bull is by far the greatest beer haven in town I have made it clear that there is no chance of us going to any trendy bars of clubs with ‘bumpedy-bump’ music or big screen TV’s like all the young-uns go to. Strategically I shall open with the lightest of cask bitters, then shall move through the mid range ales, the brown ales, the lambics, Belgian blonds until I eventually finish on one of my old favourites, Trappistes Rochfort 10. All served in the correct glassware and possibly with a single malt scotch to finish off the session, I simply cant wait.
